Roller Hockey Logos Part IV: The Calgary Rad'z


This is Part IV of my expose of the terrible logos of the Roller Hockey League. Up today is the Calgary Rad'z. The Rad'z came into the league in the RHL's ignaugural season in 1993 and lasted until 1994, using the same logo for both their seasons.
Let's start with the ranting.

What's up with the nickname? Rad'z? What is a Rad? And why is it apostrophe and then a z? How many sports logos have apostrophes.
I don't like the 'Roller Hockey' wordmark below the Z with the roller blade wheels. The font totally contrasts (and not in a good way) with the Rad'z wordmark.
This logo is a perfect example of why red, light blue, and mustard yellow should never, ever be mixed. It looks like someone puked up a bunch of nachos with blue Gatorade and some ketchup.
That's it for today's third rant. See you next time.
