And it bugs me when people hate on the Mighty Ducks logo because it's "cartoon-ish". The team was using it well before D-2 or the cartoon series came out, plus there's other NHL logos (looking at you Pittsburgh and San Jose) that have equally silly logos.

Neither of those logos were used as part of a Multimedia Branding Initiative™.

Perfect. Touch the logo up a bit (fix the tape issues and the perspective on the shark's left fin) and that's what the team needs to be wearing full-time.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

The logo needs more teal. It's their primary colour but barely appears on this particular logo... In that regard, the 2007 update was a huge improvement.

Yeah, the updated logo fixes a lot of things you didn't know were wrong with the original. I felt the same way about the Cardinals' and Panthers' updates in the NFL.

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫

The shape of the original logo is stronger and more recognisable than the new logo. It's a great logo, but it was only good for it's time.

By today's standards, the shark is incredibly outdated and the triangle has 6 outlines.

The Nuggets and Avs are run out of the sub-basement of GloboKroenke Enterprises. It's just a drinking bird at a console. They probably meant to make this the new full-time look, but the drinking bird hit the wrong button. That would explain the rumor from earlier this summer that the Avs are debuting 6,000 thirds.

Perhaps such a situation has happened in the last few years at (the non-Rams branch of) Kroenke Enterprises. I can see it all right now...

"Change uniforms from modern classics to RBK Edge? Y-E-S

Sound goal horn? Y-E-S

De-Kroenkify Kroenke Sports Enterprises? Well, give me a Y, give me an--hey, all I have to type is Y! Hey Fans-Who-Don't-Find-Us-Relevant-Anymore, I've just tripled my productivity!

Well, my work here is done." (Sets down drinking bird to hit "Y" as the employee leaves the room.) "It's your turn to cover for me now."

[Among the next questions to appear are "Bring Peter Forsburg back for a couple games?", "Make Adam Foote captain for a year?", "Fire George Karl?," and of course "Improve (or at least unify) Avalanche identity?"]

That last question is when the bird hit the wrong button.

I disagree that it needs more teal. A logo does not have to be the identical colors of the team. That is what the jersey and other merchandise is for.

I hate the Sharks. They're a division rival. They've come to make me feel physically ill when I see the color teal.

But god damn, I need that jersey in my closet.

How come this is in the EDGE cut? I thought CCM made the vintage and throwback jerseys for consumer purchase through their "Vintage" line.

When the Ducks wore their throwback the EDGE wasn't widely available, just the CCM version. Same I believe with the Devils when they wore the Christmas one the past couple years because my brother got a CCM one.

Oooh that's beautiful!

Sidenote... Am I the only one who thinks the shoulder logo looks odd when not "facing forward" (on the players left side). That's the only change I'd make.

When the logo appears by itself on a white background, their main colour is barely represented at all. Once again, this is the main reason why I think the 2007 update was so successful... Just a shame they had to replace grey with orange as an accent.
