The Lake Erie Monsters are a professional ice hockey team in the American Hockey League.
Logo referenced from www.sportslogos.net
This AHL team logo from Cleveland, Ohio is particularly interesting to me because it is based on local folklore. The Lake Erie Monster, AKA Bessie, is the inspiration behind the logo and team name. Bessie has been sighted in Lake Erie for over 100 years by locals in the region and has become an important part of culture. A great story like that of Bessie behind a logo design can really make it unique and special. If I am ever in Cleveland, a Lake Erie Monsters tee shirt will be my choice of souvenir.
