Branding/Logo: The Minnesota Røkkr logo is a purple Viking helmet, with some edges bordered by a light shade of blue, as well as the right eye behind the helmet. In old Norse dialects, røkkr translates to “twilight.” Twilight is the moment the last light of the day fades, and night takes over. In Norse Mythology, Røkkr is associated with Ragnarøkkr (or Ragnarok), the end of the world, or “Twilight of the Gods”. “Inspired by these legends, our modern day Røkkr is a team of chosen warriors forged in the fierce climate of the true North. As darkness falls, the Minnesota Røkkr emerge. By morning they are the last ones standing. As with the mythical heroes who battled fate itself, the Minnesota Røkkr must unite all allies — the best players in the world, the fans who wear the colors, and the community they represent,” via Minnesota Røkkr’s website.
