DEAD! Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 My only guess is that the logo would be Red, White and Blue like the other "major" sports leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ez Street Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 maybe they are doing a Gretzky Sillouete(SP). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollux Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 I don't like this... The current logo is one of the oldest logos of all leagues, and it shouldn't change!!I hope they come up with something good, otherwise the NHL will go down the drain...

gbasalmon Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 maybe they are doing a Gretzky Sillouete(SP). Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't that oddly enough look like a close relative of the NHLPA logo? All things considering, that would be tre odd...

CJR Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Bettman screws something else up.When's the contest to design the new NHL logo start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yh Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 When's the contest to design the new NHL logo start? About 5 minutes before the "Bring Back the Black and Orange Shield" campaign ratchets up.This is ridiculous. I give the new logo three years and I haven't even seen it yet.

Puckguy14 Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Oh man this would be STUPID! Another way for Bettman to try to make the NHL like the NBA. STUPID STUPID STUPID. The league logo sticks out since it is in black and orange (or silver). There was a book that came out a few years ago, about how hockey has been ruined by greed. One point they made out was in 1993, Bettman wanted an NBA like logo to be made for the NHL, but owners quickly turned down.WHAT NEXT BETTMAN!!! MAKING SURE EVERYONE HAS A GLOW PUCK?

jkrdevil Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 The NFL has a sheild logo, does that hurt them. I don't think so. How many people are going, "I don't like the league logo so I won't watch the game." This is another example of the NHL doing something that will bring in zero fans but will alienate it's current fans. First it was the conference names now the league logo.

Sterling84 Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 WHOA WHOA WHOA!!!!!!!!!!bad idea. bad bad bad.Of all the problems they have, the logo isn't one of them.good Lord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 I didn't mind the conference names change. I thought it made sense because it's hard for the average joe to identify the teams in the conference. Although without those division name Chris Berman would use the term NFC Norris.

Cuss16 Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 WHOA WHOA WHOA!!!!!!!!!!bad idea. bad bad bad.Of all the problems they have, the logo isn't one of them.good Lord.

GMac Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 my god... k i have had no reason to start a Jihad against Bettman... till now... i was pissed about the conference names... but hey i can let that slide... but when you want to change the oldest symbol of the league you need to be ran up a flag pole by your underwear while being pelted with food stuff... then the pole is lit on fire so it falls into a truck full of manure... where... well you get the point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
