Burmy Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 At least they're not trying to go back to "Spider-Knight"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 The Knights colours and jerseys are some of the best in the CHL. Hopefully that doesn't change with a new logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Odd phrasing on the main page.Those sharp-looking green third jerseys are done. The London Knights are planning a new look."Remember those jerseys that looked good? Screw 'em! Buy new stuff!"The Knights have a perfect timeless logo, one that could pass for an NHL logo (even if the name "Knights" has a minor-league connotation) amidst bus-league dreck like the Sudbury Wolves and the Brampton Battalion. This older logo is a step down, and while the interlocking LK is clever, it winds up a little muddled in practice. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedPenalty Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 This is disappointing. I grew up a Knights fan, and lived through the Spider-Knight era. Seeing the switch back to green and gold was a god send! The colors and logo they have now are fantastic, one of the nicest in the league by far. This new retro logo that's splashed around the site looks way too dated.The "sharp-looking green third jerseys are done. The London Knights are planning a new look" quote leads me to believe (or hope) that this new look is ONLY for the alternate uniform. I was never font of the green alternate with Knights across the chest, since Plymouth wore one that is almost identical to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never font of the green alternate with Knights across the chest, since Plymouth wore one that is almost identical to it.This new look is permanent and the OHL isn't doing alternate uniforms next year. They're switching to the dreaded Edge sweaters and everyone is changing somewhat. We've also heard the Knights white sweaters are going to be a cream colour like the Minnesota all-star sweaters or Quebec Remparts, but no confirmation.I don't get this, really. The last logo, updated from 1987-1994 was really crisp, it was probably the easiest recognized junior hockey logo, and they wore it when they won it all. This new one is a poorly rendered attempt at going back in time - the original was much cleaner and it didn't try to be cartoonish with the yellow striping that looks oddly like a smile a kid might like - and it just doesn't get a thumbs up here.

Bmac Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I think the Knights have/had some of the coolest logos and jersey in all of hockey. I hope they don't ruin things. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linus Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Booooooo. Huge downgrade. The Knights had the best logo and uniform set in all of junior hockey. The new logo isnt bad but it looks like a school logo, not a junior hockey team logo. beLEAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letterform Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 london jersey historyI don't get the point of crossing the new logo with the original. The new style "mane" looks terrible on that the old style logo. DEATH TO REEBOK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjinners Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 The 1968-1970 look. Dropthepucks.com used to have a picture of one, but the website's been inactive for a couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zer0dotcom Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I'll chime in on my love of the Green Knights alternate.When Tavares got traded, I was on the verge of ordering one up...and then was stoked he wore it to the Top Prospects Game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
