Shumway Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Out of the ones with images in the stripe, I really, really like Winnipeg's. It's probably redundant with a big jet at center ice, but it looks really cool in the stripes. That said, I'm partial to what either the Red Wings or Islanders do.

Bayne Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Ottawa should be using a single red line. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I've always been a fan of the red/white barber pole style, myself. But some of these are way too busy (looking at you; Montreal, Nashville, Ottawa, Phoenix)Yeah, solid or barberpole is all any of these really need to be, but there are a few teams that can stand to give the red line a creative touch. Putting tiny little detailed logos in the red line is not a creative touch. I'd say Montreal could use the fleur-de-lis in the red line if not for the possibility of the Nords coming back, who would have a better claim to provincial imagery than the Habs do. Out of the ones with images in the stripe, I really, really like Winnipeg's. It's probably redundant with a big jet at center ice, but it looks really cool in the stripes.It's a nice update to the last red line design the old Jets had: ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Oilers should have a red line with white oil drops. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

Francis10 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Well, Florida (and arguably Carolina and Philly, although the Flyers have had that red line for decades) is absolutely breaking the last clause of Rule 1.5. "There shall also be a line, twelve inches (12'') in width and red in color, drawn completely across the rink in center ice, parallel with the goal lines and continued vertically up the side of the boards, known as the “CENTER LINE.” This line shall contain regular interval markings of a uniform distinctive design, which will readily distinguish it from the two blue lines, the outer edges of which must be continuous. (Paint code PMS 186.)" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFB Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I always thought it would be cool for the Wings to have a solid center stripe with the winged wheel at center ice (sans Hockeytown, of course), except they would continue/invert the logo design inside the area it would intersect the stripe. Maybe I'll mock something up later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Giant Pacific Octopus Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Ottawa should have a bunch of Os.Ottawa should have little mini pictures of Justin Trudeau with a joint hanging out of his mouth and a word balloon that says"The Budget?

RyanMcD29 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Not really deserving of its own thread, but hey, hockey aesthetics!New red line for the Stars:Very cool!I've heard of teams doing this, but is it fairly common now? (To have custom linework like that.)If so, it may be worth having a thread devoted to that (NHL and other leagues). Here are all of last year's red lines for the NHL:Or I think it is for 2014/2015.

RyanMcD29 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Right, but that's league-wide.

mcj882000 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 The Blues, once upon a time, used a checker-board pattern in their centre line I always liked.I always saw it as a nod to their old arena, at one point called the Checkerdome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 St. Louis really needs to go back to two notes in the center circle, rather than having the big one bisected by the red line.

The_Admiral Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Yeah, it's too unbalanced of a logo -- which isn't to say it's bad, because it's great, it's just very left-heavy by design -- to bisect. The Flyers wouldn't look good with one big logo either. I've heard people say that the Blackhawks should go back to two little Indian heads instead of one big one, but those people also probably think the Blackhawks should go back to having 4,000 people at games because that way you know who the real fans are. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGM13 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I've always liked the Oilers centre ice design in the 80's, with the logos in between the circle and the blue lines. GO OILERS-GO BLUE JAYS-GO ESKIMOS-GO COLTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 St. Louis really needs to go back to two notes in the center circle, rather than having the big one bisected by the red line.Agreed. That treatment works perfectly for their logo. The image mcj88200 posted is a thing of beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 My favorite quirk was how the Flames used to have a smaller off center logo so the dot was inside of the C. They had this until the mid-90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I love the double entendre of the Leafs' red line. It's both patriotic and self-aggrandizing at the same time; you'd almost think they were American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
