Wichita Thunder Unveil New Logo

WICHITA, KS- The Wichita Thunder today released their brand new logo, as the club prepares for its 12th season in the Central Hockey League (CHL). The new design prominently displays the Thunder name and blue lighting bolt, now exploding through a storm of black and purple. It will immediately replace the original Thunder logo, used since the club’s inception in 1992.

“The original logo served the Thunder well for 11 years”, said general manager David Holt. “But we wanted to incorporate a more modern look, yet still keeping the bolt and some of the other elements that Thunder fans can relate to.”

The new logo is significant of the many changes the Thunder organization has made over the past few months, including the additions of Holt, head coach Derek Laxdal and several new staff members.

“I’m as excited about the new logo as I am for the new season”, said Laxdal. "Hopefully the new look, which we will incorporate with a new jersey design, will be just the beginning of a proud new era of Thunder hockey.”
