Still wish 17 odd years later we would have picked Polars, or even Voyaguers. Oh well. At least they made up for it with the logo. I always thought Minnesota Muskies was too cool a name to leave in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a kinda fun "what if" they did a few years back. I think all are better than Wild. http://wild.ice.nhl.com/club/gallerylanding.htm?id=20535 Store 1 Store 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Giant Pacific Octopus Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 ^ I was hoping for Polar Lights. I remember when they announced Wild. I groaned so loud my brother came running downstairs thinking I was having a heart attack. Every time I hear the name Wild even to this day I still groan really really loud. The other day my neighbor was knocking on my door to see if I was OK after she heard "loud unhuman-like groaning" coming from my home. Its funny you would think that after a decade and a half I would be use to that stupid name by now but NO! The Catch of the Day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe you came out of character. You're not an octopus at all, are you? White Bears is weird. Bears would've been OK, albeit generic. Northern Lights? Blue Ox? They make Wild sound like a godsend.

I'm not a big fan of the Devils due to seven games in 2001, but they do have a great logo. I think their logo is certainly a hockey icon, but from a purely visual standpoint... it's a mess. The proportions and balance are really not great, and the execution of the forms is pretty clumsy.

Could it be cleaned up? Sure. Should it? mmmeehhhh Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twill is a fabric, my friend. :-) More specifically, it's a specific type of weave used to construct a fabric, but generally speaking...

Brass Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Hopefully this means the authentic jerseys at the NHL Store in NYC will be on sale.

I know it's right half is worked into the J, but I think 2 separate letters might've worked better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Yeah, I kinda figured the perforated twill with kiss-cut outlines as needed would become the norm after seeing that gimmick at the World Cup. Lightweight! Performance! Buzzwords! Job Justification! Current price for the perforated stuff is $90, and River City Sports is the only one I've seen offering it (though I'm sure EPS is doing it.) For everyone else, it'll either be the now-inaccurate full-weight twill or the screened garbage from Fanatics.

Toronto206 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 So what happens with the Avalanche; do they promote the thirds or get a redesign? Hopefully they promote the new fauxback logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
