Looks like they updated the news site to remove a lot of the bloat! I'm considering this a personal victory. Good job, me.

Sorry if this isn't the right place to post this, it's just been bugging me ever since the redesign and it's ironic that a site that focuses on logos and design in particular suffers from such poor design. The news page of this site needs some serious rethinking. The format is broken up into various sections from a couple of carousels cycling through new articles, a ticker also displaying new articles, an listing of articles displaying the very same articles and a panel on bottom right of page listing, you guessed it, the same articles. This is overkill. To demonstrate my point, I've highlighted the same article in each section of the news page. There is no reason for viewers to have to look at the same headline 6 different times on one page. I get that there may not be a huge amount of sports logo-related news to fill up the page's current format but maybe that's a formatting issue. I'm not web designer but as a frequent on this site, it pains me to see such terrible design.

Along the same lines, Cam Fowler with Anaheim's original Reebok jerseys.

This may be a bit of a stretch but how about the Ottawa Senators introducing a red alternate jersey with a forward facing logo in 1997, it eventually becoming the primary home jersey in 1999, and the same look essentially being used for the Reebok rebrand in 2007?

Put this on a shirt and take my money.

The infamous Pooh Bruins jersey

I feel like the Senators have done exactly that for better or for worse. Everyone has a nostalgia-boner for the original 2D logo, so when they put out surveys asking fans what direction their rebrand should go in...

Icethetics posted a great article about the Sabres' transition. Using the classic logo, and using a blue that's not the original royal blue but still lighter than the current navy. https://www.icethetics.com/news/buffalo-sabres-show-signs-of-returning-to-royal-blue

how about some league logo rainbows? edit: damn, should've swapped Minnesota and Dallas. WHATEVER

Trevor Linden in the Reebok-era Canucks jersey. Such a strange sight for me.

Personally I don't like the forced inclusion of orange. Why not omit the stick entirely? It such an outdated 90s motif that doesn't even make sense in the context of the logo (we eating hockey sticks because we are aggressive, grrrr). Teal, silver, black and white are already enough colors. Add orange and you've got a mess of 5 colors. Maybe a gray shark is monochromatic but if the base of the jersey is teal, I don't see any issues with that. Here's a concept I made a few years ago that incorporates the current shark with the original triangle.
