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.

I love the shape of this lockup - the only thing that always bothers me is the two distinct tyles of the original design and the stylised D. They just don't work together at all and it's annyoing every time I see them try to make them look like they belong together.

That it's dumb they don't wear a jersey with their actual logo on it. They essentially are wearing 2 alternates instead of a proper home and road.

Strengthening their case.

Orange and royal blue Copper and Navy

I like it.
