Cosmic Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Love the lines of the main body and the fins. Seems very graceful and sharky to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 According the Sharks website: Quote The secondary marks will be incorporated into the look and feel of the new campaign for 2016-17. They will be used in a limited number of marketing applications this season. The marks will not be replacing the current logos; they are to be used in addition to the current logos. Again I ask, what is the point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FGM13 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 The more I see the new Sharks logos, the more I like them. I think they'll start phasing out the stick-chomping ones and move to these as their primaries and I am all in favour.

wildwing64 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 New Sharks logos are OK. But why bother if they're not being used on the uniforms? I suspect that they're testing the waters with new branding. PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQK Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Looks like a create-a-team logo... When it comes to SJ, if the shark isn't chomping a stick in half, it's a no-go from me. $0.02 Stay Tuned Sports Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayne Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 The logo(s) remind me of the promotional mascot centric merchandise branding that you get with sports franchises. Can't quite take it seriously. It's good, but it looks too indulgent and not very austere (much like the problem their current logo has imo) 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...
DaRadniz29 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 One of the things the Sharks have not been afraid to do is adjust is the shade of teal. I just whipped up this quick graphic of the different shades of teal from the last 25 years. The Sharks seem to be heading from their blue-teal to more along the lines of their Deep Pacific Ocean Teal. The Sharks media guide still actually has the secondary color as burnt orange, with black as a third/trim color. The new logo, and the update sharks website before it show that the team seems to be returning focus to the teal and black. The newest teal from the new secondary logos pairs well with the gray, and the black can work with it, as long as the pattern is right. While I've not heard or read anything official, I'd estimate that these are definitely being tested as permanent secondary marks and will eventually be there full time. This also seems like the return of Monterey Gray and the phase of orange. Also if they were to become full time secondary logos, based on the three, there would either be a new primary logo that is not one of the three secondary or the full shark would make the jump to the primary (something that fans have wanted for a while). The partial shark is the logo on the Los Tiburones jersey, so I don't think it would make it as a full time primary. Personally, I like the new logos, and wouldn't mind something in the arena of these as the primary. The chomping the stick is an iconic staple of the Sharks, and it would be sad to see it go but I would be okay if the wanted to move on from it, since it has lent itself to increasing amount of jokes of the years past.

Gold star for finding a two line blurb that kinda sorta relates to your original post. Turning back to the adult table, I'll echo that I'm not quite sure the need for these new Sharks logos if they're not replacing one of the many secondarys already in use. At least the poor guy doesn't have that stick stuck in his throat anymore. Nice promotion to give away a Seals shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikWings Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I like the Sharks logos. Although the SJ is definitely forced on the one. Like the return of gray in the logo too. Nothing beats the fin logo though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Giant Pacific Octopus Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Man those sharks logos look great. Hopefully they will get new uniforms with those logos on the front. I would put the shark head on the front of the jersey and the full body shark on the shoulders. The current logos look boring now by comparison. The Catch of the Day!

If they got rid of the S, it would look good. 13 hours ago, Morgo said: It's in the this one. No reason for the bottom of the logo to look that way unless they were, at least, trying to incorporate an 'S.' It almost seems more like a crest than anything? It'd be perfect on the front of a jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason for the bottom of the logo to look that way unless they were, at least, trying to incorporate an 'S.' Agreed, but that's Sharks, not San Jose. And how crazy is it that the Sharks have had three distinct shark logos, all in different styles and all by the same designer? The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Morgan33 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I don't think any of the logos are good enough to replace the primary, but they should absolutely be brought in as secondaries immediately. The current, full bodied, Shark can't be replaced soon enough. Not only does it look awkward but it's far too similar to the primary crest to serve as an appropriate shoulder patch.

Gothamite Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I think the current secondaries compliment the primary, whereas the new ones clash too much to be used in conjunction. Replace the full set or don't use them at all. And I still don't like any of the "SJ" logos; I think all teams should be required to have municipal monograms but these are all clunky, awkward and varying degrees of lazy.

I have a feeling we're going to see another colour v. colour Winter Classic. The Blues logo featured at the unveiling was blue outlined in yellow and white, which is the way it appeared on the blue jersey. The logo on the white was the bluenote outlined in yellow and blue. As for the Sharks, I agree that they should've had these replace the current logos, or just not used them at all. The team already has too many logos that don't get used on uniforms (standalone fin logo, orange & black shield, full-bodied shark w/ triangle), this just muddles the brand even more, especially since these new sharks are done in a completely different style. That being said, I do prefer these new logos over the current ones, so I wouldn't mind if they made a transition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
