Bpoe96 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 You have anything backing up the Florida flag details? I only ask because the Florida flag, minus the seal, is the Alabama flag.My apologies, I seem to have misread the tweet slightly. Rather than the seal not being there he said it'd be a stylized version. The tweet from that is below, the rest of them I combined into one picture.It potential to be solid, but I'm not holding my breath.I'm right with you. I'm liking where they're going with the jerseys, but not so much with the primary logo. I hope they surprise me (in a good way) somehow come unveiling time.

rmackman Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 So, since George put out the Tweets below, I went ahead and I tweeted Hockey Week's mock-up over to him because I thought it was closest to the description. I also sent everything over to Chris. I'll let you know what George says, and/or you can just follow him @GeorgeRichards or me @rmackman to see the conversation as it develops. Nice mock-up hockey week! I think the font may end up being different (and I would change the numbers to white because one of the tweets said "White with a blue outline" as noted in my list below).George Richards tweeted a bunch of information about the new Florida Panthers uniforms, and he basically said that whoever hand-drew this away jersey has come the closest to guessing the way the uniform will look:Other information provided by Mr. Richards (a Florida Panthers beat writer for the Miami Herald):For now, the hockey stick/palm tree crossing secondary logo is outThe new secondary logo has a Florida feel; will alternate the words Florida/Panthers depending on road/home New jerseys will have a horizontal stripe; red/white/gold w/ blue pants. Airborne shield w/ panther head coming out teeth bared New logo: Airborne shield w/ Panthers written on top for home/Florida for road, but not like Vancouver because the lettering will be part of the actual crest rather than separate from it.The red color is now lighter/closer to the KC Chiefs red, and the gold is more "gold" tone than yellowishBlue will only be featured on the numbers & background of shield. Jerseys themselves are red dominant, big white stripe, gold outline; road reversed Logo is very aggressive looking, more natural 'Florida Panther' ... Red eyes, bared teeth makes it, well, look mean.Numbers are white w/ blue outline, but could end up white w/ gold for home & blue on road whites New fonts for everythingHOME: Big center stripe is white outlined in gold. No blue except behind shield.Collars will have lacesLogo is not a 'flat' panther head; it seems to turn out of shield and remain 3D like current 'leaping cat' does Didn't see a U.S. flag on the shoulder, but considering a state flag similar to what Calgary doesPanther faces to the left instead of the right (the drawing made it facing right)I'm going to revise my earlier prediction based on the new information.

The Giant Pacific Octopus Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Am i the only one praying for the cats to make an another cinderalla run to the cup finals 20 years later just so we can see them wear something decent for as long as we can before switching over to these monstrosities? You know. It was the North Stars Cinderella run to the finals in 1981 that kept the green jersey from going black the following season.I think Florida has a great logo, secondary logo, and jersey. They look great the way they are. Why change? For a logo with a wood-mark. a stupid flag. And Montreal Canadiens striping?Bleh. The Catch of the Day!

I'm looking forward to hearing what he says, if anything. I got a bit confused on the numbers, and I had to throw the flag on at the last second because I forgot about that too. The font is an absolute shot in the dark. I was originally thinking something sharp and unique, then I realized how old-school the jersey is and muted that quite a bit. no doubt it'll be something wildly different.My question though, is the secondary logo separate from the "stylized" flag? Or are the two incorporated? Two different shoulder patches, an amalgamation, or are they still undecided on the flag?I actually think the stylized flag could work. Red cross, gold ring...if they simplify what's in the state seal, it COULD work, because it's already the right colors I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.

Red cross, gold ring...if they simplify what's in the state seal, it COULD work, because it's already the right colorsIt looks like they're still undecided about a lot. What George has been looking at are preliminary stage mock-ups. Nothing is final. I think there will be two shoulder logos, with one being the flag. I just don't know what the other shoulder logo will be.As for a font, I think you're right that it will be more traditional than what you selected because of the way the jersey is. However I expect a modern "tweak." Can you try it with white numbers, and say...the Winnipeg Jets font? It's kind of a modernized twist to a more classic font. Again, just a thought.

hockey week Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 If that's all he said, then it has to be really freaking close. I bet he can't say "That's it! That's exactly what it looks like!" and expect to be shown such things again.With this revision, I think this is as close as we're going to get without some description of the font type and what the secondary logo looks likeThe only thing I'm wondering if I got wrong is if the stripe is much thicker, like Blackhawks Winter Classic thick. With some reebok jerseys still having no hemline stripes, it's so hard to say what's too plain in the NHL anymore I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.

Morgan33 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Mixing military logos emblems with sports logos is disgusting , guess teams are trying to cash in on the goodwill/asskissing of miltary personel that goes on at sporting events.Like the camo jerseys in MLB, they suck.Couldn't agree more. Why can't sports just be sports? Why do franchises have to suddenly become propaganda arms of the military industrial complex? This mindset severely botched Anaheim's rebrand (could have had hunter green) as well the re-introduction of the Winnipeg Jets.Am i the only one praying for the cats to make an another cinderalla run to the cup finals 20 years later just so we can see them wear something decent for as long as we can before switching over to these monstrosities?

And Montreal Canadiens striping?Bleh.I wouldn't say they have a great jersey but I agree with you about everything else. I don't see what's so difficult about simply correcting the mistakes the team made during the edge change-over of 2007 and adopting their best looking set. The 2011 change went halfway by bringing back red... The 1994-2007 set was classy, original and eye catching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
