1971 Design Changes


Ottawa Royals

The Royals have made a minor adjustment to their look by removing their white socks and using their purple socks for both home and away.


Halifax Mariners

The Mariners have joined the Blue Wings and the Victors in using a white facemask. 

Calgary Predators

Owner Tyler McNeil has announced that the new name for the Calgary team will be the Calgary Predators. While McNeil has said he isn’t completely sold on the team name, he felt it was the best name that still linked back to the team’s previous brand while being different enough from the London Tigers. The move may also have been to appease the Calgary fans, who certainly have a stronger connection to the “Tigers” name. 

Overall, the brand doesn’t change much, just replacing “Tigers” with “Predators” in the wordmark and the removal of the very rarely used “T” secondary logo. The Jerseys only see the stripes moved down the sleeve slightly removing the small white stripe on the cuff of the sleeve, and allowing the TV numbers more room to breathe.
