  1. I really like the Robo-penguin as a logo more than the Skating penguin - but I get the history and at the end of the day, the skating penguin is kind of iconic, so fair enough. I would like the Robo-penguin even more if it lost the 2 lines in the black area though (I know, don't care.) and used some subtle detailing in the yellow and black triangles on the actual jersey. I think that'd be real nice.
  2. I've never rated Demko's masks to date, but that one looks nice.
  3. Bit late to the party, but I don't mind the TB stadium series jersey for what it is. Seems to be the treatment that a lot of these teams go for - big and stylized so it can be seen at a distance. Not as into Nashville's. I could see how that idea COULD maybe work but the final execution doesn't hit. I'm rarely a fan of shoulder patches being used on the front of jerseys and the guitar pick is definitely in that category. Feels to me like it was a compromise by the designers to have to include the pick.
  4. ^both not good. The Devils look good in dark green and red. That should be their alternate look at the very least IMO.
  5. 100%. I can't stand the webbed D anywhere near the original Ducks uniforms, it looks awful. They're 2 completely different design styles.
  6. Yeah I agree. It's really nice -- a perfect balance.
  7. I can't really explain it, but I always had a slight soft spot for the Ducks wordmark and the uniforms they were used on. I mean I never loved it, but maybe it was because I was a supporter of them moving away from the Disney identity at the time, I liked seeing the Ducks look a bit more serious and mean (maybe I still am). It's definitely not a great 'logo', but I don't think it's awful. I remember being really onboard for them to just finally use the webbed D by itself, thinking that the decision would possibly cement the non-Disney identity as something quite solid and respectable for the franchise. However by that stage I probably started realising that the logo itself was a bit lacking, and removing 'ucks' wasn't really going to suddenly propel it into the top 10 logos in the league. In fact, I started disliking it, and now I honestly think the webbed D is probably the weakest logo in the league. Funny how opinions change over time.
  8. Perfect looking jersey. The logo isn't great, but it doesn't bother me when they Sharks look this nice. Unfortunately nothing has even come this close since. Yes, I also really dislike the orange. It cheapens the look IMO.
  9. I always thought of it as the moon but it could be a sunset. Not that much of a stretch.
  10. Fine if that's your thing. I find it a bit lacking. Much prefer when teams emblazon their actual, you know, team logo on a huge surface rather than a tertiary mark (which I think is highly overrated by many).
  11. How blind do you have to be to not be able to see a team wearing a green kit on tv? Seems like a weird thing to cater for. Do we have to mandate that every player on each team wears the same colour boots as well, just to avoid the possibility that it might get confusing for some?
  12. Every diagonal text jersey that isn't the Rangers just looks so ineffective to me. I don't know if it's because of the number of letters and the size that they end up being scaled to, or if it's just because I identify that look with the Rangers and any team who tries to mimic it just automatically appears inferior by comparison. Either way I don't like them.
  13. That last pic looks more like the Avs to me. Would be a nice solution to the whole black thing. The jerseys they have this year (and their whites for the last few years) have always looked to me like they're unfinished.
  14. NFL uniforms are easily boring to me. As with NBA I'm not saying they can't be nitpicked and analysed and done well etc, but there's not much to any of them. I think the big difference for hockey is the prominent logo and how it influences the entire look of the uniform. It's a art piece. Every other sport is essentially just a colour scheme and some numbers. Soccer kits I enjoy to an extent because you see a bit more creativity more often, but even them I'm not that into.
  15. If you're not raising a banner that isn't a Stanley Cup banner or a retired jersey, you're raising a 'we failed' banner. Plain and simp.
  16. I don't know why anyone cares about MLB, NFL or NBA uniforms at all. They're boring.
  17. I would love to see a modernised version of this set if anyone has ever constructed a concept? I feel like the eagle is a little TOO 90's? But maybe not.
  18. I wholeheartedly disagree. Logos are poor, jersey is poor.
  19. I'm telling you, it's overrated. If it came out today it would be heavily critiqued. I like the fin, but the way the W is formed looks completely clunky and it's not even a nice H in the negative space. Not to mention the grey outline version which is just wrong. It should be two elements sitting on an empty background. And blue and green sitting next to each other doesn't work that well either. It's a good concept for a logo, just executed poorly, in a very outdated fashion.
  20. The Hartford Whalers logo is overrated.
