The Blue Jackets have a logo nearly identical to the double blue alt logo with the cannon, but instead of the double blue its in the current navy, red and silver scheme. The Jackets use it on the shoulder of their primary uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan33 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 It doesn't look that out of place really. One thing that image points out is how much better the vintage white looks on a flat application of the logo than it does on the jersey itself.

IceCap Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 The cannon logo in red, white, and blue is the best logo the Blue Jackets have ever had. The Civil War cap is the second best.

The_Admiral Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I don't think it looks out of place. If anything doesn't belong in that composite, it's Washington: the ratio is all funky compared to everyone else being more or less 1:1, and there's a whole ton of empty space. It's no masterpiece, but I could buy it as a primary. I prefer the Ohio flag; being in the state capital and not having Cleveland or Cincinnati in the league makes it a good idea. You can market them as Ohio's Team in a way you can't with Ohio's other teams. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You put those on your shoulders or on the right chest to commemorate something. It's not a bad design - I never said it was - but it's not a good NHL primary logo. For it to be a logo that looks like it belongs in the league it would need to be executed differently. Which is possible using a cannon as their motif. Just not in a roundel with a poorly coloured ribbon and an obligatory star. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do.

BBTV Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I think it looks out of place, though the version with the red is much better. THe fact that there's other "out of place" logos doesn't redeem this one. 1 the text is too small to be read at small sizes. It's fine when blown up to the size that's posted on message boards, but it's generally too small. 2. the cannon is overly detailed for a primary logo. Doesn't pass my "book cover" test (albeit only barely.) Fewer spokes, less shading, and less size restriction (imposed by the roundel) would help. 3. Maybe if they could lose the roundel, lose the text, but work a "c" into the wheels (or some other way of using just the cannon to represent the team... but I can't think of many) it would work better, but for now, I gotta say it's not strong enough to be a primary logo. 4. Their actual primary is pretty strong, and IMO is some unnecessary beveling away from being one of the top logos.

It's simply the fact that it's designed in a way that converges with the the style often seen in commemorative patches. It's also quite detailed and uses small text. Buffalo, Edmonton, Boston, Winnipeg, you name the rest...all have logos that are much more simplified and stronger from a distance. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself.

SFGiants58 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 This is still the best logo in the team's (relatively) short history. It combines the team name (uniforms of Civil War-era Union soldiers) with the history of good hockey in Ohio (Cincinnati Stingers), while also providing a twist on the navy/red color scheme (adding light blue and neon yellow/green). Sure, it's goofy as all heck, but it's got charm to it and is less messy than "the CJB" and that roundel (at a distance). I still like the Ohio flag-star crest, but Stinger appeals to me in a different way than the current primary. The cannon has primary potential, provided it was sized up and maybe protruded the roundel. That'd add a bit of perspective and make it less dull than the shoulder patch option.

Morgan33 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 You're the first person I've seen say that Stinger was their best logo. I don't agree but I respect anyone brave enough to take that stance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
