They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

rroy0824 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 The Red Wings announced that the new arena will be called Little Caesars Arena. I would have preferred a non corporate name, but I get that it is 2016 and that was never going to happen.

Yes, it was so very late-90s/early-2000s, but it worked far better than their other two logos.

Gothamite Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 On April 27, 2016 at 9:44 PM, worcat said: Yeah it is iconic to that franchise, because it's all their fans know and love. You don't keep a logo for 20+ years and all of a sudden decide to overhaul the identity without expecting fans to be upset about the decision. The locals may not know the logo because Florida is still a growing hockey market and if people don't recognize the logo it's because they aren't fans of the team. Yeesh. After "20+ years" a logo change is papering over real problems. It's time to stop talking about it as a "growing market" and start considering it a "failed market". Failing at the very least.

I couldn't agree more. No matter how good the new jerseys turn out, there's no chance they will top the originals. My hope is that the red version will be brought back as a third. The Miami writer, who leaked the info, hinted at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note, does anyone know of any hockey arenas with a separately named rink? Like how Boise State football plays at Albertson's Stadium on Lyle Smith Field.

ColeJ Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 the new logo looks like a delicious chicago style pizza. and i pray to infant jesus that they won't bring that "hockeytown" center ice logo to the new barn. seriously. i'm not one of those people that gets up in arms over how silly it is (probably because i don't remember a time when they didn't use it, because i became a fan in the early-to-mid 90's... it just looks like such a relic of the "Fox Trax" glow-puck "Coolest Game on Earth" era of the NHL. at the joe, it reminds me of darren mccarty and kris draper and mike vernon and vladimir konstantinov... that's the past. this is a new arena, an entirely different era of players... we're a lot closer to 2020 than we are 2010, let alone 2000 or 1995. the time has come and gone, if it was ever appropriate to begin with.

Missed opportunity right there lol. If there aren't a thousand jokes about Wings fans being hot n ready on game night, I'll be so disappointed. Nothing like Pizza and Wings for Detroit hockey! HA!

I still can't believe your work has yet to be on Icethetics. I like the shield without the wordmark much better but it is still way too JAGS for me if you get my drift. As for their new logo, it isn't terrible but I was expecting something with a more timeless look to it. It's too similar to the Jaguars' logo and it reminds me of a sports car brand, like Lamborghini or Porsche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people don't like a design, they're going to criticize it.

Was the old logo great by any means? No -- it was far too angular and intricate, and had no real success associated with it to boot.
