Evil Doctor Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I seriously had no inkling that this was even in the pipeline, but now that I've had a chance to digest this after the horror of seeing this show up on my Facebook news feed....This commits the greatest sin of design imaginable, it's dull and boring, made worse when it stands next the boldness of the previous logo. I could have come up with this using MS Paint. It's like something you would slap on a jar of mayonnaise. You don't want to be known as the mayonnaise of sports leagues.If they wanted to dull it down a bit, they could have gone with a simple shield logo like the NFL, NHL and MLS. They could have gone with a version of what the CFLPA uses which would be a black and red version of what MLB and the NBA uses.As someone who is passionate about the CFL, I'm utterly horrified...

Soundwave721 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I hate this logo. More of this overly simplified, clip art-esque crap. Both the logos with the football helmet and the half Maple Leaf logos were good logos that were simple, but had a sort of pizzazz to them. I still love the league, but THIS is really the best you can do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Ottawa looks like the Orlando Predators.And that's not a good thing.If Ottawa were to put the plaid pattern on the sleeves these would improve by a bit. I also like Orlando's old look compared to the templated Russell BS they wear now. Hopefully Under Armour fixes that if they are taking over uniforms and not just shoes and gloves.

vman Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 So, this happened...I didn't think it warranted its own thread.It didn't warrant that post either. You're only 6 hrs and a page behind As for the new logo, while I admit to just yesterday thinking that the old slanted maple leaf logo was getting a bit dated while the awards featuring it were handed out, this is by no means an improvement. I kind of like the 3 laces/3downs thing, but otherwise it's a significant downgrade design wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Doctor Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Obviously they've been sitting on this for a while since it's now clear that next year's Grey Cup logo is modelled after new CFL logo.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleuet Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I wonder if any team will get a new logo?CFL currently has some pretty solid marks for their teams. Do you think any of the teams need a new logo?Montreal's logo is horrible (as is the similar one before it) and I don't know why anyone defends it:Their whole current identity needs to be nuked. Update/pull from the past identities or go back to the drawing board.I feel like BC and Calgary could use modernizations of their logos. They just look a bit high school-quality at the moment. Edmonton might be able to use a more sharpened look for their logo; if not, they just need to make sure it's bigger on the helmets. And I don't know much about Winnipeg's visual history, but using a block W as a primary logo for a professional sports team is pretty bush league.I believe MTL is one of the nexts on the logo redo table.Team loosing momentum, not playing soldout anymore, not sure sells lots of souvenirs items etc... They used that design very long ago, heck, it goes to to relo of the team from Baltimore.Like, they need to open a new chapter after Calvillo's era as a player.I'd like a new logo. It would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walby2 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Underwhelmed by the new CFL logo here. I like the old, what was it, 1969 version of the logo and I remember being apprehensive when they announced a change was coming in 2002. However, they nailed it and I was happy with the end result.There was nothing stale or dated about the current logo, so the change was pointless to begin with. But they replaced it with a new one that's just dull, bland and forgettable. Not terrible, but certainly not good. I'm not impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlesonicsofsacramento Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 The new one looks very Web 3.0. I don't know whether I have much more to say about it than that.

Chewbacca Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 If the CFL is willing to completely trash their logo, then, I have a very good feeling that they are working on allowing Adidas to completely molest the jerseys. Get ready for a whole lotta collegiate crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_J_H Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 CFL should keep the 2003-15 logo just change the "CFL" font to the new font and call it a day.

Get ready for a whole lotta collegiate crap. From Chris's post on it:“The time has come to update and transform how we present ourselves,” Canadian Football League commissioner Jeffrey Orridge said during his state of the league address today, his first as commissioner of the league. “Our great fans will be the first to tell you: we need more fans. And in particular, we need to attract the next generation of fans, so this league is strong for years to come.”The logo change makes a lot of sense if this is really the CFL's strategy going forward. Like I said, the new logo is very Web 3.0, basically something you'd see as an app button for a smartphone. So yeah, I'd be completely unsurprised if Adidas goes full #adiswag #icedout next year.
