Burmy Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 LOVE it! In an era where funky, "pack-everything-including-the-kitchen-sink" logos are the style du jour, the Habs decided to do with their affiliate what they do best...a simple, elegant, and classy brand which (aside from some minor tweaks) will last for years to come.

deked73 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 If they had put the 9rocket logo on a shoulder and the Canadiens logo on the other would look better than having those extra graphics on the sleeve. A plus to me is they are making their own identity than using Montreal's uniforms but you still see the relationship with the parent club. Iffy on the number font.

jp1409 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 By the way, I absolutely hate the sleeves and the "fire" things on the back of the jersey and socks. The weird shield logo on the sleeves is ugly as :censored:... LE ROC KET Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4One Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 That is just plain bad. They should have figured a way to incorporate the 9 within the shield or not have it at all. The team is already named after Richard so I don't think it is necessary to have the 9 anywhere on the jersey at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTConcepts Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I don't like the '9' with fire on the arm. It makes it look like every player's number is 9. I also don't like the placement of the fire in general. The arms, without the nine, would be fine, but on the socks and back of the jersey just look bad. Otherwise, it's a good identity.

Otherwise, it's a good identity. *thick Quebecois accent* Well of course they all want to be number 9. It was always five Maurice Richards against five other Maurice Richards! I quite like them. Simple, classy logo that's easily recognizable and a kid could draw it on a notebook, super simple sweaters that look like some kind of Montreal fauxback...but are actually something new, and the little rocket flames are...kitchy? Idk, I think if they were some throwback to a real team from the 1950s, we'd lose our minds with how great it is. It's a minor little thing that is interesting. The shield logo is the only truly bad part of this...I think the 9 on the sleeves should have tried to reflect the Habs' font that Richard wore. All in all, I like them, but they'll probably be gone as quickly as the Montreal Rocket. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerslionspistonshabs Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 All in all, it's nice but he sleeves are a bit clunky. It is the AHL, so it'll be gone in 3 years anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleuet Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 All is fine except the flame on the back. I would've choose another font for the numbers and no white line in the numbers. But, its me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
