Rave Reviews for a Ravens Return

The Vancouver Ravens suspended operations following the end of the 2004 NLL season. They were then approved for a conditional return for the 2008 season if they sealed a lease with (then) General Motors Place and sold a minimum of 2,500 season ticket sales. The former was a go, but the latter was a bust. Then, just this past April Fools Day, a rumor went around from some of the league's players (including Jeff Zywicki) said that Vancouver would be granted expansion for the 2013 season - that too turned out not to be. As a result, the Vancouver Ravens have not returned to this day.

The "Flying V" set.

Vancouver didn't need a completely new look when they played, but the font was awful and the white jerseys were too plain. Here we are, a decade later, and I have given them a new look. Yes, I stole some more to help better this concept. I use the font from the Winnipeg Jets tenure as the Atlanta Thrashers. The yellow jersey may seem out of place as the main logo is not used for the crest, but I wanted a lighter color as the home jersey and too many teams in the league today have too many red and/or black jerseys. The V at the bottom is just stretched to give it a symmetrical figure. I think that covers everything for this concept. We round out the order with the Anaheim Storm tomorrow! Hasta la vista . . .
