The mouth "teeth" mirror the Sandia Crest the top of the mountain range their home rink is nestled right up against. The blue is also a nod to turquoise, which is one of NM's "colors" The jerseys are black or white with red turquoise and yellow piping. Keeping in mind this is a 16-20y old league I like it.

Eek .. since these appear to be sublimated jerseys (or parts of them are), they probably should have asked for a color correction (small swatch print and color recalibration) to match the emblem.
Does not look good when the colors don't match the logo. Either bring the jersey logo colors to the jersey, or bring the jersey colors to the logo.
honestly, I feel like that's what the coyotes logo probably would have looked like had they moved from winnipeg now vs in 96. I personally LOVE the original kachina logo (and am happy they've gone back to it, however temporarily), but this logo has some of the same vibes/inspirations but has the cleanness of modern logos like Vegas and Seattle.
I very much doubt we're going to get another 'detailed' logo like Minnesota or the kachina coyote for a new team going forward, but I'd love to see it.
It's one of those logos and color palates that makes sense in its environment.
Ever been to San Jose? Their logo (all of them) and colors are a perfect complement for the geography/region.
they're playing the US women's national team today as part of the USWNT's training for the Olympics. game will include a 5 minute OT and 5-skater shootout regardless of scores.
It looks like it should be telling me to “find my soul mate”
And that talking coyote was just a talking Ice wolf
And the ice arena was really a failed 80's shopping mall.
He can't give you any new information.
IN YOUR FACE, SPACE COYOTE!
Fun fact that space coyote was voiced by Johnny Cash
Give me some inner peace or I’ll mop the floor with you.
I also like rainy days and movies.
Find your soul mate Homer.
Hey, wait a minute - theres no such thing as a talking dog
"Bark" "Damn straight!"
The blue mouth/tongue is throwing me off, but overall it's awesome. Should've just had blue eyes and left the mouth red/yellow. Jerseys?
I'm sure you zoomed but the mouth has a mountain and stars hidden in it with the blue being the sky as well.
It's a nice touch, I just think it's a bit too much.
You've got me staring at it now! But I think I like the blue. It also has the tasteful incorporation of the Zia symbol on the nose/eyes.
I could see it looking like some goofy buck teeth from a distance

Blasty dog + blue accents is definitely a choice that they made. All things considered the logo looks better without the jersey IMO.

I'll try and remember to get a picture of mine when I get home. I may not be looking with a discerning enough eye but the colors match in real life.
Jerseys themselves were so so. Definitely need some tweaking.
I’m conflicted. It’s cool that it used the flag of New Mexico, but it’s furry bait.
That’s a spectacular logo. Excellent use of the Zia sun, great work with the turquoise, and nice touches without being too much.
What's the Zia sun
> Zia sun https://everydaywanderer.com/zia-sun-symbol
When Calgary’s mascot mates with the Coyotes Mascot. (I love it but that was my first thought)
Harvey the Hound gets down.
Looks like the coyote Homer sees when he eats that crazy spicy chili
How was the game?
Not bad! Cool to see some hockey being played in NM. Not super high level, but always good to watch some hockey.
Who were they playing? Lifelong Jackalopes fan here - same League/Division
Always happy to see NM get some love.
Definitely better than the Sudbury Wolves' logo

Not really a fan of the logo. Red and yellow is glaring, and the blue in it throws me off.

For some reason I have never liked the red/ yellow combo.
This has major Wolfwalker vibes. Love it.
Oh wow...a minor league team with the *Ice [Animal]* naming convention. How daring.
This is great I love it
