It's Official, The Pack Is Back!

What's going on guys?

Well, It's official! The Connecticut Whale have been re branded and will take the ice next season (13-14) as the Hartford Wolf Pack!

If any of you follow me on Twitter, you know by now that I am in favor of going back to the Wolf Pack brand. It's unique and has a winning tradition which sadly a lot of people here in Connecticut don't understand. Anyway, here is a link to the offical press release from the American Hockey League's website: http://theahl.com/the-pack-is-back-p183823

The team has already begun to relaunch hartfordwolfpack.com. It's not much right now. Just a splash page with season ticket information for next season. The only thing I don't like is that it looks as if they will only be selling lower bowl seats and closing off the upper bowl at the XL Center next season. The last two and a half years, my seats have been in the upper bowl. Due to better sight lines (in my opinion) and not as crowded.

Along with the name change, the Wolf Pack's primary logo from 1997-2010 will return. It is still unsure if we will see the uniforms used from 2007 until the re brand to the Whale or a completely new set of uniforms.

(From Sportslogos.net)

I for one would not mind if they brought the old ones back or if they came out with a new set! But if they bring back the old ones, I think they should come out with an edge version of one of the Wolf Pack's inaugural season jerseys as an alternate. Witch were basically Rangers Liberty jerseys with the Pack's primary logo on them which were used until I believe the 02-03 or 03-04 season. You cal also see an idea I had for a new uniform set for the Pack in my last post!

Global Spectrum, the company who will run the day-to-day operations of the team next season will be holding a "town hall meeting" with season ticket holders to get them involved with creating marketing ideas.

Anyway, that's all I have to share with you guys so far. If I find out anything else or if I have missed something, I will update this post and let you all know about the updated on Facebook/Twitter!
