MDGP Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Maybe it's because I see it everyday, but this is basically just a better version of Penn State's new academic logo. I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!

VikWings Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Not completely awful, but better suited as a shoulder patch. And pretty much anything they came up with was gonna be a downgrade anyway, so it could be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VikWings Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 It's also tragic that this beautiful alternate logo/shoulder patch is being replaced by yet another dumb ass flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayne Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Ehhhhhh.....I agree with the sentiments that it looks awfully a lot like a soccer emblem. I can't help but compare it to the great logo they currently have and think whyyyy. This new one isn't horrible, but it looks rigid, muted and less exciting. It does really look like a soccer patch or a shoulder patch a best. Don't think it suits being the primary logo on a hockey jersey... Downgrade. But that was expected.

The Giant Pacific Octopus Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 The Panthers leaping panther logo is one of the best in the NHL. Its so dynamic and effective. To swap it out with this tame panther/shield logo begs the question. Why? Also that sun patch was great. They had some of the best logos in the league and now they are both gone for a bland makeover. Bleh! The Catch of the Day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, there you go, that works really well. The lack of red works out, because the jerseys are primarily red and lacking in blue, so the two should balance out. If they stripped some details out of the original logo and made this shield the shoulder patch, they'd have a really solid logo set. Maybe that's the end-game, because it would work. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFB Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 So far, we haven't even seen an actual digital copy of the logo yet. Chill. I like the original logo, but some folks here are pretending that it's without (major) flaws. The truth is that it's a very 90s, hyper-aggressive logo that is overly detailed. It's also illustrated in this weird, angular manner without many curves... which is strange when you think about it, because a cougar/panther is a very smooth and sleek animal. It worked with the original uniforms because of the angular jersey design, but when the team moved on from those uniforms in the mid 00s, it didn't work nearly as well. However, it's pretty obvious in my opinion that the team needs a fresh, cohesive restart. They've been floundering both on the ice and aesthetically for over a decade now. Even before that, they flirted with the panther breaking a hockey stick variation, flip-flopping between red and navy uniforms, and then they had that weird fling with light blue a few years back. They've tried to make the old logo work within an identity for the last decade (even tried updating the head for the light blue alt jersey), but nothing's clicked. Now they've finally got a talented nucleus of players for the future... The time has come to unshackle themselves from their forgettable two-decade existence. The new design is a very nice, regal depiction of a Panther. It even looks like they kept some of the strange angular points as a nod to the original, which is a nice touch. And being that we haven't seen anything else, I'm going to reserve judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Just go back to the original Uniforms, they were good, and the alternate blue jersey where the big cat was breaking a stick was great as well. It sure had that Sharks logo feel.

bowld Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 While I do like the leaping Panther and the sun/stick shoulder logo they look dated. The new logo is a clear upgrade to me and I can't wait to see more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shield logo feels more like an alt logo used for a shoulder patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
