And now I've learned my something new for today.

They literally have all the ingredients to create a top-5 look and outright refuse to use any of them. The Senators' design department is a joke. Then again, the Senators are a joke in general.

The "O" is incredibly boring. I always liked the original Roman senator look, but that doesn't really capture what you'd think Ottawa is about. I like the Peace Tower inside the "O". That would be a good look.

? That’s brilliant.  I never noticed that.  Now I like that logo even more than I already did.

That 2D centurion is excellent...to this day I don't comprehend why they haven't gone with that.

 

I've often thought that if they married that particular logo to a re-imagined version of this sweater (minus the Serpentine)...

...they'd have a strong and solid identity all their own.

Just use this with a matching black at home.  It celebrates the entire history of Ottawa hockey and is the perfect compromise between the roman and heritage themes.  Also put the =O= on the shoulders.

You nailed it, that's what they should be doing.

Perfect. That means that they will somehow do the opposite.

Needs more gold IMO.

Agreed. If they’re going to keep that rich shade of gold in the logo, it needs to be present elsewhere. 

 

I’d also prefer for the chest stripes not to go all the way around because it muddies the numbers. But I know that’s an unpopular opinion around these parts.

I'd rather have shoulder numbers, and have the O on the sleeves.

Is it though?  If nobody gets the reference, is it really there?  Not doubting anything that you're saying, but there's a balance between forcing it and this.

My opinion is that if you’re familiar with the Ottawa flag, then it’s there for you to discover. If not, no big deal, because you don’t lose anything by not seeing the flag reference; it’s still a cape.

 

That’s the sweet spot for me; doesn’t diminish the meaning if you don’t see it, doesn’t carry so much attention that you can’t help seeing it.

I was not familiar with the Ottawa flag and had no idea it was represented on the cape but now that I see it, that's just pure brilliance.  The updated 2D centurion needs to become the primary logo.
