Their alternate shield logo would look great on their aways over the full shark. If you think this should be on the front of a jersey, it solidifies to me that you have no idea what you're talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like that shield logo would add a good balance of black and orange to the jersey. I also don't see how that's busy at all. It's text, inverting colors and a shark.

Your contention that this logo: is not busy rather beggars belief. You can say lots of things about that logo. You can even make a case that it's a good logo.

hockey week Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Two things. First, I haven't seen the Vegas-ized NHL logos posted, and I thought they were pretty well done. Columbus is probably my favorite http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/16044186/nhl-national-hockey-league-team-logos-redesigned-las-vegas They're pretty big on their own, or I'd post a few. And there's an artist accusing Florida of stealing his work...and I think he has a legit claim to it Quote Mike Higgins June 7 at 3:54pm · Irvine, CA · TLDR Version: The Florida Panthers ripped-off some of my art! Details: I was contacted by someone from the Panthers over Twitter a while back saying he liked my mascot series on DeviantArt (http://jmh3k.deviantart.com/gallery/46088358/NHL-Mascots) and wanted to commission me to do some work for the Panthers. I was psyched to do something for an NHL team, so we talked for a while, but when I got to outlining my rates, he cut things off and said they were "going a different direction." Today, a month and a half later someone on Twitter pointed this out to me: https://twitter.com/FlaPanthersPR/status/740190254544605184 They took my Panthers image from DeviantArt, cut it into pieces, repositioned the pieces and painted a new jersey over it. Check the head, the right hand, the tail in particular. I've had my artwork ripped off (and butchered) by a big company. I think that means I've finally made it as an artist. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan33 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Don't understand, for the life of me, why the Sharks don't use this as a shoulder patch. Now that the "SJ" version appears on the pants, it makes even more sense. As for the shield, waay too much going on. I was not at all sad to see it go.

Gothamite Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Yeah, that's a great shoulder patch. Especially if they insist on incorporating orange, which I wish they wouldn't. Put the full-body shark on the front and that on the shoulders, and you've got a beautiful set. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

T-ROY Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I also love that logo, but it just wouldn't fit with their current set. I guess the borders are a bit much in the shield logo, but I still love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I'd argue that that's a solid enough logo to use as a primary. Funny, I used to like the sharks primary logo, but it's grown stale. Maybe it's the weird color balance, or maybe it's the fact that the Sharks uniforms have exponentially decreased in aesthetic over the past two decades, but the whole Sharks identity is in major need of an overhaul.

I'm not sure if this is an unpopular opinion or not, but I actually liked the navy and copper Oilers more than the royal and orange. It's not that the current or WHA-inspired sets are bad by any means (currently I'd put them in the Top 10, maybe even Top 5), but the navy and copper look was just so unique and it gave the Oilers an identity that wasn't "shared" with the Islanders. Besides, that alternate logo and third jersey were some of the best and most creative aspects of NHL logo and uniform design of the 90s/early 2000s.

SFGiants58 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 The navy/copper/red Oilers identity has always looked nasty to me (although I do like the sleeve patch). If I had my way, I'd have the royal/orange Oilers and the navy/orange Islanders. These are some of my favorite NHL uniforms: The only changes I would make would be to dump the double outline and add the lighthouse logo as a sleeve patch. I know their color scheme is supposed to reflect the New York City flag, but a shade of blue paired with orange should do the trick in this situation (it doesn't necessarily have to be the Rangers' royal shade).
