Lights Out Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Oh G-d. They're keeping the incorrectly rendered stick. Does anyone who runs this organization actually watch the sport?The stick is the least of that logo's problems. Yeesh. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaRadniz29 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 It wouldn't be that bad if they dropped the Barracuda Network background teeth, fixed the fish to face the other direction, fix the stick so it's just a tad more authentic looking. Basically, the don't have start from sratch, but a few tweaks would make this logo much better. The name is a variation of what I expected,. I would have liked Seals as well, but there seemed to be logistical and trademark issues not to mention the Sharks eat Seals debate. While Barracuda is the proper plural form, Barracudas sound better, but the name isn't bad - they could have done a lot worse.While the sponsorship was expected it just seems like a goofy schtick (not to be confused with the goofy stick in the logo). Since the Sharks entered the league I feared that the Shark-biting-the-stick was a bad omen, because how are we supposed to know it's the opponent's stick? Florida Panthers use the Panther-breaking-the-stick as an alternate, maybe the Sharks should follow suit. Though, this biting-stick curse could just be a way to find a place all the Sharks playoff failures. Either way the 25th anniversary might be the time to adjust the logos accordingly.

The_Admiral Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 A completely awful logo for a completely awful farm system. Just total crap. Took the AHL out of New England for this. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justen Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Dear god what the hell is wrong with the Sharks. Thats a whole lot of ugly right there. A few tweaks and it could be ok. Get rid of the stick and arms and center over the "splash" or get rid of it all together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twi Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I wonder what the crest will look like. I have a hard time picturing that awkwardly shaped thing on the front of a jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say just keep a shade of teal and blow up everything else. I'd don't care if it is Original Six-Dress Up, just something that breaks away from the current logos entirely and away from black/orange (maybe even silver).Ideally, they would update their original look with a new logo (divorced from the triangle and the breaking stick) and new color scheme (something like the one Go Red Sox! made here), but that's asking too much of an organization that sits on its ass all day to keep a dying run of contention alive.

wildwing64 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Ugly, unbalanced, blatantly corporate piece of fish turd. I'd have been OK with the Barracuda Networks logo addition if it was only that bit on the left of the logo's mouth, at least that would have been a bit more subtle. But no, they had to also have it taking up a prominent chunk of the team's logo.The wordmark sucks too. If they were going to shove that in there, they could at least have gone with the Sharks font.

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 They forgot the S.(or is the plural of Barracuda just Barracuda?) Either way it sounds terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Giant Pacific Octopus Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 With the exception of the singular name, I actually dig that name and logo. Perfect for a Sharks farm team. The scariest man eating fish in the sea is the Shark. The second scariest is the Barracuda. Barracudas are like mini sharks. Its a perfect name for a farm team.And why are people complaining about the stick?Its certainly better than the Jacksonville BarracudasBut maybe not as cool as the Birmingham Barracudasor the Pensacola Barracudas The Catch of the Day!

nash61 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 The alternate logo fixes so much. If it wasn't for the stupid sponsorship, this team could almost look respectable.EDIT: Uniforms!

RyanMcD29 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 You know, that orange third would be a kinda neat idea for a Sharks third if black alts weren't already traditionally ingrained as the Sharks' third jersey color.Oh yeah, and I'll be the first here to point out that they're taking the parent club's cue of removing the hem stripes to "improve performance" or whatever.

The Giant Pacific Octopus Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I'm digging those jerseys. Add an "S" to the name and you have yourself a winner.Still think they would better off in Oakland. Whats the point of having the parent club and the farm team in the same city? It would be a great way to expose the franchise throughout the San Fransisco Bay by having them play in another Bay Area city. The Catch of the Day!
