Victoria Royals (WHL) Logo and Uniform

It’s official the new WHL team in Victoria will be known as the Victoria Royals — and there it is, their new logo in full colour. The official announcement is expected later today but they have made the logo and uniform available via social media early.
They have only released an image of their home jersey thus far, a clone of the Tampa Bay Lightning third “BOLTS” jersey:

Looks like there’s a shield logo on the shoulders, a blue shield with “VR” in white and two crossed red hockey sticks behind, still awaiting a better look at that one.
SportsLogos.Net found and reported on the trademark filing for the name and logo back on June 8th, must say – the logo looks a lot better in colour than it did in black and white.

Monday, June 20, 2011 at 14:04It looks better in color, but it's still pretty terrible... A shame that the Bruins identity was lost and this is what replaces it, and even worse that something as uniquely awesome as "Salmon Kings" had to go away for this one as well

Monday, June 20, 2011 at 15:23I like it, I wish it was the Dragons but i am glad they got rid of the bruins and the Salmon Kings. Salmon Kings just sound like a High School team.

Monday, June 20, 2011 at 19:25@Ryan The Royals name, and logo is infinitely better than the Salmon Kings, Busche league crap.

Tuesday, June 21, 2011 at 07:29The name is great (much better than teh "Tide" which was one of the options), but the logo and jerseys are absolutely god-awful. What is that cardboard cut-out RBC lion doing exactly? A half-hearted paw swipe, with his three square toes? The typeface for ROYALS is neither modern nor is it a kind of cool heritage style. If they're going to write the name of the team into the actual logo, at least make it attractive. Problem is, it looks like they were going for a bargain basement junior hockey look, when they should have aspired to an NHL look. Think bigger you guys. So for me it's Go Royals Go, but please get changed first.

Tuesday, June 21, 2011 at 11:18Looks great. I will be buying one for sure. Glad they went with this coat of arms type look instead of some stupid crown. Only good name out of them to. I wish the team was called Victoria Rain but Royals is good, better than Dragons(are you kidding me) or Force.

Wednesday, June 22, 2011 at 10:43It looks like the lion is about to test the theory of what happens when you lick something out in the cold, much like the kid in the movie, "A Christmas Story".

Monday, June 27, 2011 at 11:20the tail looks like a question mark which is a reminder of the question how did the WHL let this move take place??

Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 02:12The name is OK. I will give a mulligan to the uniform designers as they are using a template this year but will have their work cut out for them next year with the bad colors they picked. Logo is bad. Old school hockey writing with the city name would work better.

Saturday, July 2, 2011 at 04:42Anything is better than Salmon . Would prefer Capitals but Royals are fine. Uniforms look good. One of the better one s in the Dub. Far better than Salmon What ?

Monday, July 11, 2011 at 17:47Very traditional. Victoria is still very British oriented. Logo is heraldic (I.E it looks like it is on a coat of armour or a shield). At least it is not a goofy name.
