PWHL Trinket Trade Idea

[olivermoss]

In chat for PWHL games, people call the NHL the MNHL because if all women's sports need a W stuck in there, we're going to stick Ms into boy sports. This gave me the idea to do a logo edit to make buttons of. The lettering isn't perfect... (But don't ask how much it took for me to get it that decent) Most people wouldn't catch the reference, but I feel like making a logo edit (hopefully, maybe) somewhat explains the joke.

The main viewership for PWHL games are on youtube with a moderated chat, which is heavily shaping PWHL fan culture right now. MNHL, hocket, RTPTPP, negotiations, etc all come from there.

Also, at games people do trinket trades! I have some stickers and also a necklace with a glass pendant in Torrent colors that I've been given at events. I had planned to have items for the trinket trade at the pride game, but the project I started wound up being bigger than I could get done in time. I am still doing that project, but I am also working on a pin set because I've made lots of pins over the years. Pin designs, doing something I know how to do, what a concept. I have my own button maker, sized 1.25" I am working on some other designs as well.

I am fine with this being a joke only some people get, but at first glance how does the image read? I've got a long time before the LimewireTorrent play again, so I've got time to polish these ideas. I can't make the lettering too much bigger without widening the overall shield-shape more, and if do that it stops reading like the NHL crest and starts reading rent-a-cop

I think it looks good! My first thought on seeing it was it was a minor league, but I also approve of slapping an 'M' in front of men's sports leagues to match the W on women's, so I really love this idea.
