The_Admiral Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 The old Winterhawks identity never sat right with me. I didn't like that they used a rudimentary version of the Indian Head, just as I don't like it when the actual Blackhawks use another rudimentary version of the Indian Head. I thought that that sort of hand-me-down approach to minor-league hockey teams, like how there used to be 30some teams across the continent that were just the Boston Bruins, should have been gone for good by the mid-1990s. So while I'm glad to see the poor man's Indian Head go, I can't get too excited about this. It's just a bird head. There are lots of bird heads. Despite the claims that it has REFERNCES that make it inimitably Portland, at first glance it could be for any bird team anywhere. Don't the Tri-Cities Americans on the other side of Washington also use a bird head? I've spoken out against minor-league whimsy in the past, but I think Portland could have gotten away with it. I'm envisioning kind of a Skating Penguin 1.0 concept here: a hawk wearing a scarf and a stocking cap because it's winter. 2 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeypower Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I'm a fan of the new Winterhawks logo, but I don't like the metallic gold in the beak. Should have been flat. 3 hours ago, the admiral said: Don't the Tri-Cities Americans on the other side of Washington also use a bird head? Yes, Tri-City (non-plural) does. It came in as the primary in 2003 and was relegated to secondary in 2008. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the new one definitely. I like how it incorporates Mount Hood into the design along with a cleverly-hidden WH, and I like the more defined beak on the new hawk in comparison to the previous alternate. The old one kinda looked like a hawk-shaped blob more than anything, and the new logo fixes that. About the only thing I'd change is making the beak solid gold instead of a gradient, but it's a solid logo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw the effectively unused alternate logo on there and it's one of the best jerseys in league history. I have not heard anyone in the fanbase pushing for either of these things. Prior to the recent rebrand, most people were adamantly against the updated 2D logo, and the black laurel striped jerseys are probably the 2nd least popular ones that the team has ever worn (after the SENS alternate). Vegas already uses metallic gold striping with a sublimated floral pattern. Leave it to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 While a solid logo, this has always struck me as being a depiction of a cyborg hawk from the distant future that was sent back to 21st-century Portland in order to prevent the erasure of major junior hockey in said city from our timeline.

The_Admiral Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 The old alternate hawk is better than the comma-shaped Flea Market Blackhawks logo, I will say that. 3 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are pretty nice. Eh, aggressivity is such an overrated factor in sports logo design. You look at pretty much all of the most iconic sports logos and you don't really see very many with a focus on it; the Leafs, Bruins, Habs, Rangers, Wings, Red Sox, Yankees, Dodgers, Warriors, Lakers, Celtics, Patriots, Giants, Packers...all utterly iconic sports logos, none feature aggressive elements. I never liked how the old hawk lacked a lower beak; made it feel incomplete. Plus, the new logo incorporating Mt. Hood into the design is a nice bit of local tie in comparison to it just being another "angry bird head" logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Milwaukee Admirals unveiling a new third jersey tonight. Rumor is the logo will be all-new as well. this is the old one - it’s actually a carryover from the previous set, was popular enough to survive a rebranding.

Funny you should mention that, because when a hawk is resting, it’s beak is closed and you don’t see the lower one: It’s only when a hawk is acting aggressive that it opens its mouth enough to the point where you can see the lower beak. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
