The powder blue ain't helping. Top left at least makes an effort to update the original identity, but the streak behind the duck looks terrible.

chcarlson23 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I don't understand the hate for the D-foot. It's a very clever logo. I get that people prefer the Mighty Ducks logo, (Which I think is only because of Nostalgia) but that doesn't mean the D-foot isn't a good logo. It's simple, it's got a hidden yet very noticeable meaning. The letter D shaped kinda like a duck's foot, for the team the Ducks! Think of the Canadiens logo. The letter C for a team called the Canadiens! With an H in it for Hockey! If the Habs logo is considered a great logo, even without all the history behind it, why isn't the webbed-foot D either? 2 hours ago, Lights Out said: The Ducks currently have one of the worst logos in sports, but after reading about the ridiculous restrictions they placed on the designers, it's their own fault that they have to wear that crap. Nope... Have you seen the LA Clippers new logo? The OKC Thunder? The Miami Marlins? It's not even close...

Ark Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Miami Marlins logo is underrated The main problem with the Ducks is that their color scheme is really ugly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't mean I hate the D-foot. I just don't think it's anywhere near as good as the mask. What's not helping the D-foot is the bland black and gold colour scheme it's been paired with. Actually, I did a quick palette swap with the logo. I think the main portion being orange instead of gold helps it better resemble an actual duck's foot. It's strange seeing the colours this way round, but they should really have emphasised the orange from day one. Maybe this is a marginal improvement, curious to see what everyone else thinks.

KittSmith_95 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Orange & Gold are hard to play off each other. You need to use either as little gold as possible (SF Giants do this slightly as Gold is used as very minimal trim) or use as little orange as possible. I hate the Ducks new jerseys. They're a giant mess & I hated that 3rd jersey from day 1. What the team should've done is kept the sweaters they had, add the Mighty Ducks oval logo to the shoulders & scrap the wordmark for the D. Instead, they made a set off a jersey I can't stand & don't get the love for at all. They're a horrible templated version of the Sabre's 90's set with yokes that aren't needed and these skinny looking numbers. The number font that was made was never supposed to be stretched out like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current primary set isn't particularly good, but as a fan I'd rather have that than what they had before, at least they're interesting to look at.

NeverSayNever Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Don't look like hockey crests... but rather something you would see at Bass Pro Shops in the duck calls section of store. And really nothing can top this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockey week Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 5 hours ago, Lights Out said: Gotta disagree. Most of these suck, but top-center and bottom-left logos are lightyears better than the one they picked. IMO, they're even better than the old duck-mask logo that everyone raves over (I've never been a fan, personally). The Ducks currently have one of the worst logos in sports, but after reading about the ridiculous restrictions they placed on the designers, it's their own fault that they have to wear that crap. I think that the top middle is awful, with the wings being the only good part. The bottom right has some salvageable qualities, but the shield shape and the crossed sticks are all wrong. I made this years ago, but I still think it's true. The webbed-D is a very fine logo, it could be just as simplistic and timeless as Winnipeg's logo (which I know also got a lot of heat on here, but boring = not trendy = never dated looking). It's a D, it's a Duck Foot, if you turn it sideways, you could even get an A out of it. It's fine. Not amazing, but just fine. But throwing the UCKS on there, and the dumb little circle, just made it so much worse, so much more forced, and the jerseys didn't do well in the switch to the Edge template. They didn't have the chutzpah to do what they needed to to do from the start. A decent alternate logo with the name on it would've worked just fine, but no. They couldn't do it. Then the nostalgia for the Mighty Ducks logo keeps popping back up, so the logo that would inevitably grow on everybody is going to get chucked to the curb and this will be an awkward footnote in their history that vaguely explains the color scheme change. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously. 1991-92 Pro Set hockey cards (with 90-91 pictures) were among my favorite. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Their home yellow/away black look was a natural and very unique in a league dominated by many home white/away royal blue teams. The Flying V and constant losing, though, made their brand look bad. However, they should have kept their blue and green for identity stability. The Canucks could've gone with navy blue, add more green accents and change the logo to Johnny Canuck(What's a Canuck?!) and keep the SIR as a shoulder patch.

worcat Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 It's safe to say that a Johnny Canuck jersey is due. They should put Johnny as the main and the C stick/rink logo as the shoulder and stick with it. No more uniform changes for 20 years.

I think the only reason it get's praise is because the prior version, with the script, was so awful. Its a great dynamic design. Doesn't look poorly rendered at all. And yes a Ducks foot in the shape of a D is just as clever as that hidden "H" between the whales tail and "W" from the old Whalers logo or the "MB" in the shape of a baseball glove for the old Brewers logo.

NeverSayNever Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 The upper center dick crest looks like it got caught In a fox trap. Just too goofy. The Canucks jerseys pictured are perfect as is the green and royal blue color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwing64 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 To be honest I'd probably like the D-foot more if it were on a more traditional uniform design. Kind of like the current third, I think it'd lend itself well to something like that. I'll mock something up when I'm not in phone.
