JERSEY HOUND

VICTORIAVI­LLE TIGRES | 2016-17

There are many tiger logos in the sports world, and not all are created equal (Medicine Hat probably has the best). But only one team claims the name ‘Tigres,’ and that’s Victoriavi­lle.

For the QMJHL squad’s 30th anniversar­y, they’ve taken their original crest and concocted a really nice throwback edition. That’s a mighty fine tiger, and the circle crest includes the birth year and current year of the franchise. Just to wrap things up, the team’s current logo – which features a different tiger mascot biting through a hockey stick – is still featured on the shoulder. Like many recent throwbacks, this jersey comes in off-white, which really works. The Tigres are a mid-tier team in the standings but top of the pile when it comes to throwbacks.
