Tampa Bay, really? That's very much a shoulder patch logo and nothing more to me.

Agreed on the Jets. Disagree on the Caps. I know I'm in the minority though.

100%. There is a great Shark logo in there somewhere - I wish theyd find it. If they could have a classic looking primary logo that went with the style of this shoulder patch I'd probably be deeply in love with the Sharks' look. While on the topic, can I just express how perplexed I am when people think that these shoulder patch logos are perfectly suited to be used as primary crests. Am I crazy or does anyone else feel like about 85% of the time, this is never a good idea. The design intention of a secondary logo is never for it to be used as the primary logo for an organisation. Vegas do it - it doesn't work. Carolina do it - it's an awful jersey logo. Blue Jackets have it - I don't like it. Dallas use their secondary on a fluro jersey - awful. Minnesota, nope its just a wordmark. Washington shouldn't do it even though everyone wants them to. Florida's sunrise logo was just a gimmicky looking thing. There are about half a dozen more teams that could use their shoulder patches as primaries but they'd all look bad in my opinion. The only one in recent memory that I think has worked pretty well is Bostons 'Bruins' logo with the bear. I'll sit back and wait for the comments on my opinion. Pretty sure almost everyone will disagree to some extent.

I agree with most of what is being said here. Sharks look great now (was calling from them to drop the orange on the jerseys for years) but the logo still bothers me a little. Too anime/exagerrated cartoon feeling. Does not feel like a classic hockey logo - which is a shame because their jersey does.

No idea why they thought removing it was necessary. I'm not sure whether it significantly impacts the look of their overall uniform that much or not, but I can't see how it could be seen as that much of an improvement. Not sure I would have advocated for a similar striping pattern to match that of the jerseys though, that feels like it wouldn't look right.

That was the obvious problem that logo had from the second I saw it. It's always looked dumb to me. Not to mention it's a weird logo in that its a ratty flag pole. It's just not nice to look at.

Which is why I don't like them.

Maybe I'm being a bit knee-jerk. Fair.

The older I get the more I start to resent teams who use multiple different uniforms. I really wish teams would stick with an identity that works and just nail it, instead of diluting their brand will throwbacks and cash-grab third jerseys. Rich coming from a Canucks fan but I'm certainly not excluding us either. Worst offenders to me are: Canes Ducks Canucks (although I appreciate the desire to stick with the blue and green for the most part) Minnesota are slipping into this category Arizona have done the right thing. Gone back to their originals and are just using it.

Because they can sell something different?

I like these so much. Which is why I've never been one of those people who has an issue with the much-maligned Hurricanes 'Toilet Bowl' logo. The whole jersey just works.

I am not going to miss warm-up jerseys.

No need to be hyperbolic. Some teams have better white jerseys than dark jerseys and vice versa. I could live with a switch up sure, but it doesn't bother me all that much.

I don't find these ugly. Not my favs, but they're far from ugly. I think the script is decent. Yes I'd rather they had a 'logo', but the Rangers don't, so it's not unprecedented. I think they've been using this for long enough that it has a fair amount of equity, along with the original wordmark version. It'll probably go pretty soon, but it was a period in time that I think it was a legitimate design.

To me, these prove the oppostie. That the Johnny Canuck lacks presence on the front of a jersey. Feels small and too detailed.

It's designed mathemateically and geometrically perfectly, and subsequently feels soulless. I don't care if the balance of the elements are better and the lines are thicker and the face looks more like a traditional sports team logo face or whatever, I lke peculiarities in logos and I just feel like the original is better.

Couldn't disagree more. The logo looks like someone 'fixed' the original logo, but in the process destroyed all its charm.

They don't have to but they should.

Glad they didn't continue on with that look. Desperately needed to move away from the red and black that they had been using since the early 2000's. At least the piping and shoulder patches would have been fixed, but still very similar.

Beauty. Make it permanent. Seriously.

Looks very minor league to me.

I think there's a good identity to be created regardless of the name or colour scheme. It just needs to be found, executed well and stuck to in order to create equity and recognisability. Carolina have messed this up and I really don't like what they've done to their brand. It screams of having a lack of vision or direction (or too many different ones) - it feels confused and unsure about itself. A bit like the Canucks, much to my chagrin. If Carolina had stuck with their 97-07 Stanley Cup winning uniforms and hadn't worn anything different - those things would be modern classics. I really think that. They're unique and really cool. Shame they've messed around with it so much.

Did you design this? I'm not having a go at you, it's just my opinion. Yes, that's why I said it's decent. I identified it as good work, with a caveat.

I still consider the remaining grey as a 'shadow'. as well. It's the same as the Dallas beveled star or Columbus'.

Decent, but any logo that relies on a faux beveling/shadow effect is a compromised design in my opinion. It might look good at a controlled size and application, but the second you need to use it black and white, or reduce it super small for example, it suffers big time and loses clarity. (not to say I'm perfect, look at my avatar. I use it. But for a professional sports team that would replicate the logo for countless applications I would never) I honestly have never had a big problem with the Hurricanes' logo - the whole toilet bowl thing is dumb. I think it's a perfectly okay design and I could list about 7 other logos that I'm less a fan of.
