IceCap Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I want them to settle on a logo too. Just not the orca. Either Johnny Canuck design would be a huge improvement.

Cosmic Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Outside of the 3 stripes showing up on practice jerseys, I think people's fear of the stripes showing up on the jerseys is for nothing. Did they appear on any of the regular NBA jerseys? No. Even on those ugly sleeved jerseys, where Adidas could have easily shoehorned the stripes, but didn't.As for the Sharks logo, I saw a concept online where the teal parts on the shark was replaced with silver and thought it looked pretty good.I actually really like that. Replace the gray highlights in the black part of the shark with teal and add a smidge of black to the stripes... that would be really sharp.

I get why they want teal on the shark's head, but it simply doesn't look good. The last logo was devoid of teal on the Shark, but that's part of why it worked. It's unnecessary and grey would look so much better.I saw this hat at Hat Club the other day and while it's dumb because it's a snapback, IMO the color of the shark works so much better than the clunky way they have it now.

habsfan1 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 So I decided to fool around with a recent leak and it seems like the new Avalanche template works magically well for the Tampa Bay Lightning. It fixes a lot of their problems... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittSmith_95 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 The real issue with the Shark is that Sharks aren't black. A dark grey would look way better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 As for the Sharks logo, I saw a concept online where the teal parts on the shark was replaced with silver and thought it looked pretty good.That's awesome. Well, except for the front numbers. From the jersey stripes to the color scheme to the full-body shark, it's gorgeous. Put a teal outline around it, and it works as a fantastic primary logo.

jrodsep Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 The Isles unveiled the Brooklyn-themed jerseys that leaked a few weeks back.The uniforms also include new logos not shown in the leak:Love that B logo. Very cool.What a weird, random element. A logo for the tag on the side of your jersey. Unless there are problems with the replicas ripping there...why?Or better yet, were those shoulder patches before Al Arbour passed away, at which point they found a way to reconfigure them?The most random thing is that it reminds me of the elevators from Return of the JediThey remind me of a concept for the Cleveland Browns.

Morgan33 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 What's wrong with 2007 logos? Judging from the blandness released by the Islanders and Avalanche this year, it seems like it was a pretty good year... For logos anyways. Uniforms are obviously a very different story.

BigBubba Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 The zipper idea, though novel, seems like a great way to have cuts on your neck. It's not like these players aren't moving at high speed, that's going to rub at some point, and zippers ain't soft.It's not Original Six dress-up if they're wearing teal.Or if they have a cartoony logo. Really? It sounds like we're tailoring this definition to match whatever we want it to match, which destroys the entire impact of the phrase. And it's hard to say that simplified logos are a part of "original six dress up" when you have the Blackhawks, Maple Leafs 35-point leaf, and the detail of the Red Wings.And it's not like the Blackhawks have truly simple stripes (on the red) either...or for that matter, the Rangers' whites.I think we the board needs to come up with a succinct definition that covers all the teams accused of "original six dress up" but excludes the ones we don't include in this.Detailed =/= cartoony. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what makes the Lightning and Hurricanes O6 Dress Up that excludes the Sharks? I really think we should brainstorm a formal definition. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.

So what makes the Lightning and Hurricanes O6 Dress Up that excludes the Sharks? I really think we should brainstorm a formal definition.I've already answered that."Original Six Dress-Up" means, to me, "looks like an Original Six team."So the Dallas Stars' current look? The old Coyotes look? The Sharks' inaugural look? They're not cases of "Original Six Dress-Up" because those teams' unique colour schemes give them their own identities.The Lightning and Hurricanes qualify not because they use simple and traditional striping patterns but because they use them with colours that very clearly mimic the looks of Original Six franchises. No such worries with the above examples.Not to say "I've decreed that my opinion is the only answer," just that you've asked and I've answered. It's as good a place as any to start this brainstorming session.

These aren't rules that I've carved into stone tablets or anything, but I think that's especially true when the orange won't be used anywhere else except the stick. I think small teal highlights like the gills and the lateral line will help the color balance, especially on the white uniform. It's not as much of an issue when the crest is surrounded by teal; the triangle added this dash of teal on the original white uniforms. I want to keep that big hunk of gray near the nose, though.

TheOldRoman Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I really dislike the full-body shark. Particularly with the stick in front of it, the tail is such an afterthought. All it does is throw the dimensions of the logo off and leave considerable empty space at the bottom. I'm not in love with the triangle, but I think it better uses the space than that little tail slash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreamSoda Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Nothing really new or relating to NHL uniform...But at the Avalanche practice facility there are two rinks. In years past one had the Avalanche A and the other had a local youth teams logo at centre. This year both rinks have the Avalanche A logo at centre ice. So to people thinking they are getting rid of the A for the new C mountain logo, I would say there are no plans for that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
