To paraphrase Wayne from “Letterkenny”: If you happen to bought an issue with the Cobra Chickens, you bought an issue with me — and I recommend you let that one marinate.
The Western Hockey League’s Prince Albert Raiders introduced on Thursday, December 14, that they might rebrand for one recreation in January 2024 to grow to be the Prince Albert Cobra Chickens — borrowing a preferred nickname for Canada geese.
The Raiders solely launched a major brand with Thursday’s announcement, but it surely’s a doozy. Designed by former junior hockey participant Taylor Vause, it depicts a Canada goose sporting skates and a inexperienced helmet sticking its tongue out. The goose is in entrance of a gold wedge form with a pink define, with “COBRA CHICKENS” spelled out on high and across the goose’s wings.
Alternate logos, jerseys and merchandise will seemingly be launched nearer to the sport, which can happen in opposition to the Saskatoon Blades on January 26 on the Artwork Hauser Centre in Prince Albert.
There’s nothing scarier than being chased by a Cobra Rooster, and these birds will probably be able to strike on the finish of subsequent month to tackle their largest rivals from Saskatoon.
“Cobra chickens” grew to become a preferred nickname for Canada geese due to a 2018 tweet from Twitter person @bibliophileq, who recounted a dialog with a colleague who skilled first-hand the birds’ cantankerous, territorial nature.
This isn’t the one sports activities brand information out of Prince Albert this week. Over the weekend, the Raiders resurrected what was meant to be a one-off jersey design from their fiftieth anniversary season in 2021-22 and added it to their rotation as an alternate jersey.
