NeverSayNever Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 The scarf was too reminiscent of soccer... just like the Florida Panthers shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 They wanted it to be as realistic as possible, and real penguins don't wear scarves. They do, however, wear skates and carry sticks.

wildwing64 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 And then the skates and stick were removed from the logo, making it even more realistic. It was so realistic, in fact, that people mistook it for a mechanical pigeon. PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, they added it for the Winter Classic and then removed it when they weren't playing outside games wearing that uniform anymore. 9 hours ago, Walter Sobchak said: I had a similar idea only with this jersey: Just replace powder blue with yellow and navy with black. We're talking road jerseys, right? I'd replace white with yellow, navy with black and powder with white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 A logo depicting motion does not belong enclosed in a circle or other boundary. The penguin has no room to skate and looks awkward in the circle. It's why I'm against helmet stripes for teams like the Falcons that have a logo that is "in flight" across the helmet and doesn't need a barrier that only serves to make it appear static.

Ark Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 The great thing about those uniforms is they had metallic gold material. Jersey makers have lost that knowledge apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverSayNever Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 It's called dazzle knit material... NBA teams featured this material during the late '90's... problem is that the shiny material snags horribly and looks awful after over a period of time.

habsfan1 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 So to promote their return to athletic gold, are they finally going to raise back up Mario's old retirement banner with the right colors, the colors which he wore for most his career, and pull the other one down??

The_Admiral Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Retired number dilemmas like this always make me think of what a generally bad idea it is to change your team's colors. Teams will keep a logo or script but change the colors when it should be the other way around. Spain wouldn't keep its flag design but change the colors to two-tone blue. But it just screams Spain! ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate when they change banners. It feels so wrong. Sure, he didn't wear that for most of his career, but that's what he retired in, and he picked those colors. I also find it amusing: This is a great identity! They should bring this back! It's perfect! This identity is awful! It's so muddled! It's not unified! They minimize a great logo! It's terrible! But yeah, an alt based on any of the above would be pretty great. I like all the concepts for Nashville based on the 1967 striping, because it looks like guitar strings or sheet music, and because that pattern needs to be used somewhere, because it's too good. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wore athletic gold most of his career, but clearly prefers Vegas gold. And now the team is ditching Vegas gold in favor of athletic gold. But given that Mario clearly preferred the Vegas gold (and probably played a role in it sticking around for so long), I'd say keep the banner as-is.

When Jagr finally hangs up his skates (in about a few bazillion years), he can have the athletic gold banner. BTW, I've mocked up my ideal third for the Pens (that I mentioned on the last page): It's a little tribute to the double-blue past, while staying within the soon-to-be current brand.
