My vote is for the Privateers...

Highlanders!!!

Names are all a little cliché. I love the blue-green helmet colour for the Armada though, and the Highlander jersey is bada**.

EDIT: P.S., who is running that site? Are these legit concepts from the team proponents, or is this a fan project? The site is pretty light on details.

I suspect this is a fan-run site. If this were run by anyone associated with the CFL, or owners of the Halifax team, they'd pay enough money for their website to remove the Squarespace ad on the bottom of the page

I believe it is the franchise backers now that they have set up an office in Halifax.

I like the Highlanders name, As much as I am loathe to another red/black uniformed team in the league. I like it. I'd make it a little less busy, but I love the socks.

I like a few of them!!!

I think they are all pretty good. My reasoning for selecting the Privateers is that it is something I associate more with Halifax history, if this is supposed to be a Halifax team. Plus, I kinda like the skull and crossed swords logo.

The Highlanders logo and uniform looks pretty good, but I tend to associate that more with Cape Breton and the Scottish heritage therein. If it's supposed to be more of a Nova Scotia oriented team, then it's alright but change the name to Nova Scotia Highlanders because Halifax Highlanders seems kind of strange to me. The Citadel is about as 'highlands' as Halifax gets - or maybe Cowie Hill...

Except it probably won't be.

That Schooners logo is terrible, looks like a $.

I'm not sure if the connotation of an anchor is good either.

I can't unsee that now.

Ospreys isn't bad.........

Although, on second thought, if you were a sports team, would you really want to have "prey" as part of your team name???
