nash61 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Erie has been trending away from the current Otter design and has really been embracing the alternate script mark. Watch for it to become the primary with a new jersey set. They also wore the alternates a ton during the playoffs, including the game they won the Robertson Cup.

The image released with the league schedule shows the script in blue outlined in yellow (like it would be on a white jersey) I really hope they embrace the look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMMF Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 The one thing that bugs me about those Otters jerseys (and I love them!) is that the patch yellow is off from the jersey yellow. I chalk it up to the difference in fabrics but it's just different enough to be noticeable and distracting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed it for a couple seasons now on the WHL and Ice website). I think the lightning bolt shaped piece of hair extends too much and I'm not sure about the font for a sports team, but it's a needed update for the previous dated logo. This was created by an artist on Dribbble named Yury Orlov. The version he sold them was much better, they hacked it up! https://dribbble.com/shots/3551877-Kootenay-ICE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, that doesn't bother me nearly as much as the fact that their jersey script/patch is different than their marketing logo. When Reebok proposed the concept jersey for approval to the Otters, they "cleaned up" the script logo (used loosely, as their cleaned up version still has drastic inconsistencies), so the jersey patch is different than the one used by the Otters in all of their materials. Both have large inconsistencies, but it's one of those things that once I noticed I cannot unsee. I'd like to see them use a hybrid of the two and cleaned up further. As for next season, the current home/away sets are being completely retired. The yellow/gold set is becoming the new primary home set, and the away set will likely be a white version of the yellow/gold. I am happy they are finally retiring the rainbow scheme (current "official colors" are Light Blue, Navy, Gold, Tan, Red, White), and going with a more simplified Blue, Gold/Yellow, White.

Part of me still has a soft spot for the 90's "fire" jerseys, just because those are what I grew up with. I don't think many people in the region remember the Erie Blades, which I've heard are the reason for the blue/gold color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterLine Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I completely agree in terms of the soft spot. They scream 90's and also immediately throw me back to the 2001-02 championship and that Game 5 OT at home when we beat Barrie. As for the colors, the yellow/gold set is roughly based off one of the sets worn by the Blades, as they featured multiple schemes in their existence (black/yellow, blue/yellow, blue/orange, black/orange). I personally like the blue and yellow/gold scheme the best out of any iteration of the Otters sets (including one-offs) they have had throughout their 21 years in Erie. The combination of the simplicity of colors, as well as the classic style to the set are an automatic up-vote from me. Shaun RajewskiLead Developer, FounderEpic Web Studios LLC.

Also looks like the have a new primary logo akin to their now old alternate logo, but seems like that's been a change for a while now. Should be fixed in the hivemind.

Tyler Crowder Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I'm a huge fan of these jerseys. The simpler the better the green and the white work really well together and the Old English E is a really nice tough. A huge improvement over their last set.
