Oilers release creepy new logo just in time for Halloween

The Edmonton Oilers have revealed an incredible new logo to be worn next week for their first Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) game scheduled next week.

Check it out:

The logo is, of course, a take off on the 90s oil rigger logo that is popular with the team's fanbase.

“I’ve always wanted to bring a little bit of Mexican representation to the Oilers and with our Dia de los Muertos game,” Castillon said in a release by the Oilers.

“I found an opportunity to highlight aspects of the traditional holiday such as the calaca – the skeletal figure featured on the main crest of the Oilers Dia de los Muertos jersey – most popular in modern Day of the Dead costumes and decorations.”

“I hope this night brings joy to those within the Edmonton Mexican, Hispanic and Latin communities, and those who just love celebrating along with us! ¡Oilé, Oilé, Oilé!” Castillon said.

Unfortunately the Oilers won't be wearing the logo on the ice for the game or for warmups, as the NHL has instituted a ban on specialty night uniforms. Fans however can purchase merchandise with the logo in the arena concourse.
