  1. Don't like the dated agency font and tired of yet another Canucks jersey. I don't think anyone is talking about this in Vancouver.
  2. Should've been a gold and black jersey with gold socks
  3. It seems a bit desperate that the Kraken are hosting an outdoor game and will play dress up wearing the uniforms of a team that locals have no real affinity for.
  4. I cant believe we are having this discussion. The slug is a horrible logo. Universally panned when it debuted. Before today I dont think I had ever heard the screaming eagle logo taken down. Fans clearly like it.
  5. People love the screaming eagle logo. This is evident by the fact that it was the fastest selling RR two years in a row. It is easily their best logo and would be a top NHL logo regardless of how bad their other logos are. The weagle is static and wide. The screaming eagle moves and looks like it's flying. That's why I like the logo. It doesn't need to be clever or realistic. Abstract is completely acceptable for a logo.
  6. The Caps need to use the screaming eagle logo. The word mark and weagle are bland and pretty original.
  7. I think I like the Sharks RR Seals jerseys better than any uniform they've ever worn. The jerseys are gorgeous, and the colour scheme is unique. They look great on TV.
  8. Idiosyncratic elements and tradition are what makes a team's uniforms. Its criminal that the Bruins switched to black socks in 2016 after using gold for 80 plus years.
  9. Much better than the Canadiens knock off red and blue with mid stripe they wear lately but not as good as their original unis with the arched numbers and leaping panther. Makes you wonder if they and the Lightning are trying to court all the Canadian snowbirds down there.
  10. I see Toronto decided to pretend that in 62 they wore the same generic socks they wear today. Also just noticed that the RR is not a lace up like the original. is it too much to ask that the Leafs wear the same idiosyncratic triple stripe pattern socks and double hem stripes they donned when they were winning cups? The Leafs are so bad at being themselves. It's been a total :censored: show since 1967. Ballard era, RBK minus hem stripes, black Bieber jerseys, centennial classic MTL knock offs, all white stadium series, etc. The current ones are a mess too with the single hem stripe and the bland Ballard era socks. Who is this team?
  11. I don't need to argue. I know the logo history very well and it doesn't look right. Others have commented about the same thing independently. Perhaps there is a strong bias on this board. Seems logical.
  12. Sorry, I didn't expect an Annie Hall moment. I don't mean this personally towards you. It must be quite an honour to redesign such a significant and historic logo. Johnny Canuck has been at the centre of a branding debate for the last 50 years with this franchise. Maybe I take this more seriously than I should but I am a long term fan of the Canucks so I am invested. This logo is important to me. I have researched and know the history of the WHL team quite well. Better than most people. I have collected hundreds of pictures of the team and have seen those uniforms. I know how that logo looked on their uniforms and in print materials. This looks out of proportion to me. I am not the only person with this opinion who has commented online. I thought it was ok to post a comment here, since this is a forum where people talk about the minutiae of sports logos and uniforms.
  13. The RR logo is obviously stretched. They probably took a photo of a crest from bad angle and copied it. The legs are clearly longer and the torso is tiny. It looks bad.
  14. It's absolutely not the same proportions with the torso and legs. Others have noticed it. And it looks bad.
  15. Not a fan of the 40th anniversary pants striping. It looks busy and the green looks muddy. The Canucks uniforms looked better with the old socks and pants with stripes though.
