Adirondack Franchise Unveils Prototype Logos

VOTING CONTINUES THROUGH MAY 31ST

Glens Falls, NY – Prototype logos for the six “Name the Team Contest” finalists were unveiled today by Adirondack Professional Hockey, proud member of the United Hockey League. The contest will run through May 31st with ballots being available at Team Reardon McDonald’s, most branches of the Glens Falls National Bank and Tropical Fitness. Ballots can also be found in the Post Star, or fans may vote online at www.adirondackhockey.com. Voting is limited to one entry per person. On May 1st the list was narrowed down from over 3,000 entries to the six finalists.

The club expects to announce its new nickname at a public rally in Glens Falls in mid-June, where all contest winners will be determined and announced, by the ownership group of Adirondack Hockey.

The Attack logo features a revolutionary war patriot wielding a hockey stick and colonial American flag, while the Axemen logo depicts a menacing figure carrying a long-handled axe. The potential logo for the Frostbite includes a fang bearing polar bear among snow and wind; the Mulleteer crest is the famous Barry Melrose haircut personified. The Red Hawks version shows a screaming crimson bird of prey descending upon his quarry, and the Spelunkers affectionately captures the image of a local cave explorer.

Adirondack Attack 24%	Adirondack Frostbite 25%
Adirondack Red Hawks 11%	Adirondack Axemen 17%
Adirondack Mulleteers 8%	Adirondack Spelunkers 3%

All logos are prototypes only and subject to further development, while all colors are for display purposes only and will likely be changed when the winning nickname is chosen.

All logos were designed and registered by Keith Flynn of Flynnagain Productions, 1241 Mississauga Road, Mississauga, Ontario Canada L5H 2J1. His phone is 905-891-9509 and website www.flynnagain.com. Flynn previously designed the award winning logo of the Richmond RiverDogs.
