Iowa City-Coralville ECHL hockey team name is...
- Thread starter Menace Sockeyes
- Start date
So Iowa, there’s another Eastern Iowa team with damn near the same logo...
And that’s the better of the two logos. It will make a nice shoulder patch?
The Heartlanders is CyHawk series trophy from a decade or so bad.
Are the people who own this team the same people that designed the first Iowa-Nebraska Heroes trophy?
Edit: I didn't realize the rose was a secondary emblem. I actually think that will work on the shoulder patch pretty well. The name is still lame though.

I like hockey and am excited to watch but I'm not buying merchandise that says Heartlanders.
I actually suggested that in their contest. I also entered the East Iowa Trilobites.
I also got a tip-off that Iowa Nighthawks had been recently re-registered as a hockey trademark. Superior name too, IMHO. Would have been fitting as both a “wild” and university reference.
The name is lame, yes, BUT...in their defense, it was the only name that could pass through the "Is Anyone Going to Be Offended" evaluation gauntlet. Well, either Heartlanders or Coralville Hockey Team.
Banana Slugs would have been better.
The Iowa equivalent could have been the Iowa Corn Smut
Just think of the logos they could have come up with for that....

remember this.....yikes
At this point—this thing has such a great story behind it, I wish they’d bring it back. It’s so bad, it’s good. The new one wasn’t much of an improvement. Herky and Cy holding a giant football? Lame.
I don't think it's quite that bad.
Don't get me wrong, it's bad. But not that bad.
To be that bad they would have to call themselves "The Iowa Corn farmers" or something like that.
Sports Illustrated names both the Quad City Storm and Iowa Heartlanders in the top ten junior/minor league hockey logos. Not sure either deserves it as the Storm are a rip off of the old Muskegon Fury and the Heartlanders is generic...
Neither is even the best one in Iowa, IMHO. That goes to the Effigy Mounds inspired logo of the Waterloo Black Hawks:
EDIT: Tagging @torbee on this one.
