NEW COLUMBUS NHL TEAM WILL BE INSECTS WITH "ATTITUDE"
Published November 7, 1997
The name of the new Columbus NHL expansion team will
likely be the Blue Jackets, according to Wright & Merz of
the COLUMBUS DISPATCH. A source told the DISPATCH that the
team is "95 percent sure" of the name and that the primary
team color "will be blue." The logo will feature an insect
with a hat on and the hat "could be a Union Army hat." The
source: "It's an insect with an attitude. That's the best
way I can say it" (COLUMBUS DISPATCH, 11/7)
