Albany River Rats Logo History
In February of 1993, Albert Lawrence announced his intention to explore the possibilities of a team name change for the Capital District Islanders. Mr. Lawrence felt the team would be better served by a name that would be more congruent with the surrounding area and give the team its own identity in the Capital District. In March of that year, an Islanders front office worker blurted out River Rats among other options to a local reporter, who proceeded to write a column about the idea. Rat Fever started to spread and soon other reporters picked up on the name and the lighthearted fun that it represented.
On May 5, 1993, Capital District Sports, Inc,. former owner Al Lawrence secured a three-year working agreement with the New Jersey Devils to develop their top prospects in Albany. A few weeks later, on May 27th to be exact, he found a new home at the Knickerbocker Arena. The only thing left was to give the team a new name and look representative of the Capital Region.
One of the original names was the “Dalmations,” but then former Director of Media Relations Jeremy Duncan suggested - River Rats. “We wanted to create our own identity in the market,” Duncan said. “We didn’t want to go with a traditional name and we wanted to get people’s attention, get some reaction. With a distinctive nickname, the fans would have to know who we are.” Many club officials balked at the name, saying, “We thought it was a disgusting name, scuzzy, yucky...we had reason to change our minds.” Duncan, however, felt that “a rat can be made to look nice; Disney made a mouse look nice. We’ll make it appeal to kids.” To help with the decision, a contest was created so the fans could voice their opinion. The “River Rats” name won by a three to one margin, proving to be fans choice.
On June 11, 1993, Capital District Sports Inc., officially became the Albany River Rats, the top developmental affiliate of the New Jersey Devils. Now it was time to put the pieces together and come up with a logo that represented the “River Rats.”
To give the team a community link, it was decided that a local company would produce the logo. McKinley Griffen Design was chosen to do the job and on July 29, 1993, the River Rat logo was unveiled during a press conference at Knickerbocker Arena. Modeled after the edgy logo of the San Jose Sharks, Albany’s new logo featured a winking, sneering rat breaking through ice.
Soon after the logo was introduced, McKinley Griffen Design got a huge promotional boost as the logo was featured in a spread about new and exciting sports marketing in USA Today. Soon after The Hockey News, long recognized as the bible of hockey history, named the Albany River Rats as having the best logo in minor league hockey. The logo continues to rank in the top ten even eight years after its introduction. In fact, the double moniker started a whole new trend of team names and logos such as the Worcester Ice Cats, Cincinnati Mighty Ducks, and Lowell Lock Monsters, to name a few.
“We are quite proud of the fact that Rowdy and the team have stayed in the forefront of the Capital District landscape for 10 years,” said McKinley Griffens’ Creative Director Dennis Towers. “Rowdy is 10, still going strong and earned some depth with a bit of flash which is part of the new design."
