It reminds me of the awesome New Jersey Devils logo, for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toronto206 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 From Chris Smith's most recent article on Icethetics: "Rumors have also surfaced regarding changes for specific teams. My spies tell me that with Lou out of the picture, the Devils briefly considered sweeping changes to their identity but have since scaled back. But look for redesigned home and road sweaters along with a new shoulder patch. And consider them a lock for their first-ever third jersey in 2018-19."

I remain hopeful this change will be a tasteful one. Maybe they will even incorporate green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I would prefer a return to the red and green look in its entirety, but even keeping the red and green template but switching green out for black would be nice. As far as alternate logos go...I fear it's going to be some sort of cartoon devil.

That striping configuration is so much cleaner than the inaugural one. I hope you're wrong about the cartoon devil, that would be just awful.

Thaumatrope Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Does anyone else see a lower case "d" (for devils) in the logo? I always assumed it was intentional but in light of all the discussion about hidden shapes I'm second guessing myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's *kind of* there if you look for it, but I don't think that was an intentional design element. Much like the hidden "SJ" in the Sharks logo that's sort of there but not really.

The new ownership has been pushing a theme of being a "New Jersey" team. Maybe something like the draft logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdevs7 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 FWIW, There has been very rare uses of a cartoon logo throughout the Devils history, only appearing in either their minor league logos or their team store logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwing64 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I really don't see the Devils going the cartoony route. If this were to happen in the 90's then, yeah, I could see that. But this is the 2010's, and these days the trendy thing is to base it on the military PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Giant Pacific Octopus Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 That really wasn't their logo. It was their mascot. Their first logo was a jersey devil looming over a map of New Jersey. Then they ditched the logo for a bland wordmark Then they went with an old English "D" Before going to the sailboat logo And finally these monstrosities where they became the Flyers farm team and fused the logos together The team was based in Cherry Hill NJ.

Chico Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 John McMullen's wife based the original Devils concept logo off of the NJ Transit logo. I think it would be cool if they based a shoulder patch on the Garden State Parkway logo utilizing the state shape from the 2013 draft logo.
