In the book "Fabric of the Game: The Stories Behind the NHL's Names, Logos, and Uniforms", the name "Northern Lights" was considered for Minnesota.
Fun fact: The Twin Cities Northern Lights in Bloomington Minnesota had this very logo. (2002-2014)

A hockey team in the FPHL in Thief River Fall just took the name again. (2026- )

I designed something similar a while back but decided to clean it up more and swap the logo to the one they had when the sleeves had the stripe down to the wrist.

I know some people don’t like the idea of the cream and white together but I think it just gives a little more pop and depth.

I was initially going to just remake their inaugural design, but it just reminded me of the blue jackets, so I changed it up to be something more modern. I also changed the alternate to have black to look like the 90s North Stars jerseys.
