coltravesty Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 the canadian media is acting like cnn during the election process. Convincing the public that the franchise is a joke when they've barely done anything yet. This team might be booed to death when they play in Canada next year.

Sport Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 2 hours ago, Playhouse said: The Clippers officially changed their name to the LA Clippers. And Randy Newman doesn't officially represent the City of Los Angeles. Unless I missed an announcement along the way. 1. Nobody should be taking any branding cues from the GD LA Clippers right now. Good grief. 2. It was a joke, but just because a city nickname is used colloquially by a city department does not make it an official name. The city is still Las Vegas. That's what they signs say, that's what the maps say. A lot of people I know refer to my hometown as "Cbus", but I'd riot in the streets if my hockey team called themselves the Cbus Blue Jackets.

The_Admiral Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Wikipedia does not observe the Clippers' name change. It sounds like when the Miami Heat insisted they were the Miami HEAT and no one took it seriously. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Or the Ottawa REDBLACKS. Teams can insist on all kinds of stupid crap. Doesn't mean we have to humour them. 45 minutes ago, coltravesty said: the canadian media is acting like cnn during the election process.

LAWeaver Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Not gonna lie... That logo is terrible. Both are, actually, but the primary logo, to me, is dreadful. The colors are too dark and blend together, the shadows don't look right, the highlights look like the Browns' upshadow numbers, and the shield and helmet don't seem to go together, like the helmet was slapped on over the shield. Not to mention the helmet doesn't have any depth, and the helmet is a Spartan's helmet. I actually like the idea of the star logo, but I also think it's a couple tweaks away from being decent. @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worcat Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I just looked through the NHL team logos of all the franchises. As I inspected all of them, giving them my opinion rating them 1-10 and such etc, I finally got to Vegas..... Looked back at all the other logos and then back at Vegas. Does it not look like an X-Box Halo Achievement logo? Or something? It just doesn't scream official big league NHL. I dunno, I dunno.

Yeah, seeing the logo on the NHL page for the mothership it doesnt fit with the rest. Could just be a timing deal and we need to give it more exposure.

Morgan33 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 +1. The primary logo feels rushed and forced. It's not terrible by any stretch but it's a far from great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, it's definitely way too dark second, this guy definitely has an Army boner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel75 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 FWIW (nothing) Here's my two cents. - First off, the gold in the logo is too dark. - The "Vegas" in the script should not be larger than the team name, it just looks odd. - Having no Las in the name is a poor decision, its bush league. Aside from those things, i think it's good, not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the new logos are actually pretty good. The helmet logo is still growing on me, but I'm loving the sword-star. The color scheme is also pretty good, imo.

The_Admiral Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Another thing that's similar to saying "Vegas" in place of Las Vegas is "Indy" for Indianapolis. There's a team called the Indy Fuel. They play in the ECHL. Do not do as the ECHL does. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash61 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 This is a stock logo. This looks more like an NHL logo than the Vegas one does.
