Unused Logos and Uniforms


Recommended Posts

They're all decent minor league logos, but not for NHL.  The one they went with is the best of the bunch, but it's not a strong logo.  TOo much blending of colors, not enough contrast, and nothing iconic at all.  Plus, the corniness of having a hockey stick forced in to it.

and for whatever reason, this was posted in the Blues' jersey thread, so I'm moving it where it belongs

Note the lack of gold in the white jersey. They're just discarded Leafs sweaters with a new logo

 

Also interesting to note is that according to the article, the blue jersey is the home jersey and the white the road.  The NHL switched to white at home and color on the road prior to the 1970-71 season, the year the Sabres joined the League.

It was a great logo in the late 80s.  Even in the 90s it was pretty cool.  In fact, it'd probably be an upgrade on the tragically dull logo they use today.

Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

They were pretty popular at my school in the 90s.  I wouldn't be surprised if they moved a ton of merch, like the Mighty Ducks did.  I could see "NBA merchandising types" liking that.

Popular?  Sure.  But that's never been a synonym for "great". :P

If your job is to sell merchandise, you might not be able to tell the difference. ;)

It's obvious that many of these were designed by a graduate of THE Ohio State University.

 

. . . and they're all pretty bad.

I feel like something's missing from all of those "THE Orlando Magic" logos.

 

Like maybe the frequency.

 

THE ORLANDO MAGIC 93.7.  The best soft rock hits from the 50s, 60s, and 70s.  93.7, Orlando!
