It just goes to show that there's no pleasing everyone. I think they're awesome, but go figure.

I like minor league logos to be campy and fun, these are too serious for me.

I don't think they are bad, or poorly designed (the M-A bone logo is hard to see though), just prefer the previous logos more.

Huh. Interesting. So they went from some folks who didn't even specialize in sports branding last time... to one of the old guard reliable pros? I love Dan's work. He's as good as they come. So there's very few nits to pick and you pretty much know you're going to begin grading at a B+ with him and likely go up from there.

But in the interest of being honest and thorough...the M/A/stick is just too much...just a tad too high concept and low yield. It takes some real looking at to even make sense of it. The A alone is lovely.

Also the white irises? Why? I mean I know why I suppose....as a nod to the logo it is replacing. But no, no, no. Go with plain old skeletor eye sockets please. This does not work. It's a small thing but I totally hate it.

I also adore symmetrical logos but I guess I question the star at the bottom center. That feels like space fill-age to me rather than a critical element.

- love that jersey crest logo. That's the winner in this and a huge upgrade over the last logo.

- on the primary the epaulettes look like two scrub brushes, but I'm not sure how you correct that because that's basically what epaulettes look like. Maybe fewer tassles?

- Only real criticism is the MA Stick logo being a jumbled mess. Should've either used just the MA or the M with the Stick or the A with the stick, but all three elements woven together like that just looks like an illegible blob. I would've tried to rework the bone anchor from the last set.

But really not a lot to complain about. Serious upgrade over the last one, which I always thought was a disaster.

Well...here it is. I think it's a huge improvement. The link below the logo shows the entire package, including all pantone values.

It's a huge improvement in my opinion. I like how they managed to get the letter "I" dead center in the middle of the logo by sneaking the L under part of the S. I'd say the stand alone head and collar logo is almost better than the full primary logo, but both are great. I like how the white in the eye gives the skull some life.

As far as the M/A bone logo..if they made the A different color than the M, it'd be more legible.

Yeah, I wasn't trying to make a commentary on specific people... More of a broad stroke that people have different expectations for the same thing.

I didn't think you were, was just giving a little more insight into my opinion.

Hell, I'm bored as hell on summer vacation and posting kills time!

Okay, looking at it now I found something that really bugs me. That navy outline is thin and even all the way around the Admiral's head, but when it gets below the letters it gets thick all of a sudden. There's too much blue space below the "A" and the "S" for no reason.

I think that's to add depth to the letters. The same drop shadow is applied to the blue bar and the bottom of the badge.

New gripe that I just noticed: that star is in a really awkward place.

That logo is beyond awesome. Skulls are cool. Tell me this wasn't the best logo the Pittsburgh Pirates ever had.

If the Pirates made that the full time primary I would probably start watching baseball again. I haven't watched baseball in eons. Are the Boston Beaneaters still around?

The Catch of the Day!

The interlinked "MA" with a hockey stick through it is an illegible mess. Should have anchors on the shoulders instead.

Yup. Came here to post just this. The rest of the set, though? Not bad.

This is much better than the last skeleton logo I like how it give a not to the original skating admiral with the A hat, though I would have preferred a modern take on the original logo.


It is a good logo but I don't care for the jersey template.

Has the alt been posted yet?

Definite improvement overall. I never liked the old logo. And I really wish they'd have not used the above alt...they coulda done something else.

But definite improvement overall. Aside from the alt the "MA" bones is the only thing I don't like. I think that's pretty forced.

Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."
