THN.com's QMJHL Logo Rankings

A mixed bag of old and new, the ‘Q’ boasts a few very nice logos and several confusing ones.

This league has more emblems that could be a matter of personal taste than any other circuit, perhaps because the new are so new and the old so old. It seems as though teams only change their looks if they move out of town.

Over the month of August, THN will rank the logos of 16 North American leagues. Click HERE to go to THN's Logo Rankings Central page and click HERE to vote for your top QMJHL logo as part of our tournament to discover the fans' choice for the top logo in hockey.

THN's QUEBEC LEAGUE LOGO RANKINGS

RK.	LOGO	TEAM	THE SCOOP
1		Rimouski Oceanic	It’s a battleship painted up like a shark, slashing through waves. Tough to beat that, even without the cool color scheme.
2		Rouyn-Noranda Huskies	A baying husky, no more, no less. Looks great on a hat and doesn’t try to do too much.
3		Acadie-Bathurst Titan	This has warrior written all over it, with the Olde English font, Viking horns and shield.
4		Saint John Sea Dogs	One of the newer logos in the Q, nothing else looks like the sleek Sea Dog.
5		Chicoutimi Sagueneens	More about the colors than anything, the ringed crown gives the fine lettering a boost.
6		Baie-Comeau Drakkar	How can you not like a team whose name translates to “Viking Ship” and delivers just that in its crest?
7		Lewiston MAINEiacs	He’s certainly a maniac and definitely unique. Plus, the stick forms an ‘L’ to go with the man’s ‘M’ body. Nice touch.
8		Quebec Remparts	Going for an old-school flavor, the new Remparts take cues from their 1970s forebearers.
9		Cape Breton Screaming Eagles	A lot of words on this emblem, but the eagle is daunting and it works.
10		Gatineau Olympiques	The flaming torch has a certain majesty to it and looks good on the front of a sweater.
11		Val-d'Or Foreurs	Classic and simple, or boring? The pick-axe/tree combination spurned a divisive debate.
12		Drummondville Voltigeurs	Slightly cartoonish, but still original, the Voltigeur falls in the middle of the pack.
13		Shawinigan Cataractes	The Cataractes have a mascot who is theirs alone; too bad it isn’t drawn a little better.
14		Victoriaville Tigres	A lackluster tiger and part of an overwhelming legion of animals biting through sticks.
15		Moncton Wildcats	Not the greatest wildcat, plus it looks like it’s jumping out of the player’s chest on the jersey.
16		PEI Rocket	Yeah, this team used to be in Montreal, making the Rocket Richard references (notice the comet-tail No. 9) cool, but Maurice never hung out with Anne of Green Gables.
17		Halifax Mooseheads	For our American and international readers, Moosehead is a popular beer in Canada. The hockey team uses their corporate logo.
18		Montreal Juniors	We know they were going for ‘simple,’ but this is non-existent.

Over the next two months, THN.com will leave the voting on the best logos up to you, the reader. To vote for your favorite, click HERE.
