One Of My Mech Concepts Was Featured On TV

My Mechs design was featured on the Global National news last night, as part of a segment trying to speculate the name of the new NHL team in Winnipeg. You’ll need to skip to the last 3 minutes of the broadcast to see the segment. I cannot embed the video here (sorry).

As you can see, the name Mechs may have made an impression, but warranted a Google search to figure out what exactly a Mech is. Clearly a sign the name will only ring familiar with a fraction of the market initially. I’m sure given a chance it would be a household name in no time! I’m quite confident a team somewhere will adopt the name, likely a baseball team based in Japan.

I only wish they used a more recent Mechs logo - that was the first one (above) and a straight-up a homage to the Jets, which explains the awkward hockey stick placement. Still, it was very cool to be featured! I’m sure the other artists who submitted ideas got a kick out of it too. Thanks to Johnny at PuckDrawn, whose contest has turned many heads.
