zigzag Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 The griffins new logo, per the mothership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikWings Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Logo is a downgrade. Uniforms are an upgrade. (Though I probably would've kept Navy instead of Black.)Hopefully they keep the Red Wings alt with the shield logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I feel pretty secure in saying that this is one of the biggest downgrades I've seen since I started coming to these boards.

Pengin. Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Wow massive downgrade. If they wanted to make the griffin more fierce then they should have had whoever did their previous logo do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMW79 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 What a sad way to celebrate the their 20th anniversary. The Griffins needed new uniforms, but these aren't that great and logo and colors didn't need to be changed.On a side note, Chicago is now the only former IHL team still using the logo they had when they joined the AHL.

Tigers6884 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I HATED the old logo, and adore the new one. The jerseys aren't quite that good though. Thank God the old logo is long gone now, because it was garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 The new font is fine. But the new bird is way too cartoonish, even for an AHL team. Not good at all.Grade: F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 .... ...Why is the arena/Grand Rapids "skyline" in the logo? --------------- Also, why is the Griffin on fire?

The_Admiral Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Hoo boy that's really bad.

Sodboy13 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I understand Griffins season ticket holders are petitioning the league to give their team the California exemption, so they'll only have to look at this mess 34 times a year instead of 38.

Evil Doctor Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 And here I was expecting something really bad, like original Phoenix Coyotes bad, but this has a special charm that people are missing. I think having a giant griffin destroying Grand Rapids is a pretty cool idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
