B-mer 959 Posted July 13, 2020 Well dip. Now do they mean the home black set with no white but the numbers or the ones with the white? Can’t read beyond the pay wall. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GFB 2,090 Posted July 13, 2020 Basically: - 2D logo returns, closer to the less-ornate ‘97 version than the original ‘92 version (no team name). - Home uniform is black with two red stripes (no white) - Road uniform is what you would expect (white version of 90s uniforms) - Alternate is happening, may or may not be red. - Black pants Still unclear: The author of the article makes no mention of the current, unused 2D logo (states the team hasn’t had a 2D logo since 2007), so we don’t know if the “near identical” logo is the current 2D logo or a new update of the ‘97 crest. Also, no mention is made of the colors of the sleeve numbers on the uniforms. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TorinK92 314 Posted July 13, 2020 Quote According to the mockups, all of the jerseys will be worn with black pants, which were depicted with the Senators’ alternate ‘S’ logo from the 1990s on the right leg. Im assuming they are talking about this logo Makes me wonder if they're considering ditching the "O" logo and doing something new with their third jersey. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The current 2D logo is like, one of my favorite sports logos ever. Really hope they're just using it. 27 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's good, but I feel like it benefits tremendously from having a set of wings like the original; Something like this on the front of the sweater would be perfect. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Krabs 82 Posted July 13, 2020 Great news that this is coming. That said, I still to this day wish the Sens had worn these beauties in at least one of their playoff runs from 2002-2007: 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

~Bear 675 Posted July 13, 2020 The current 2D logo is near-perfect. It's an amazing modernization of the 1990s logos. Cautiously optimistic with this rebrand. The new unis sound good, but hopefully they make the right call with the logo. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B-mer 959 Posted July 13, 2020 I mean, I get that look was probably their best, but was hoping to see something new. Kind seems like a cop out. I am kind of glad it’s the black jersey without the white. It pairs better with the white version. id assume it will have some updates to the shoulder logo, and probably the main. I can’t image they’d use the original one. It would look so dated. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WSU151 9,466 Posted July 13, 2020 The white accent stripes on the black jersey always looked better to me and represents more of when the team really became fun to watch in the late 90s edit: It sounds like they will keep the double red arm stripes (without white accent stripes), which will still be okay with me. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RyanMcD29 764 Posted July 13, 2020 I doubt they'll go this direction, put putting the Peace Tower logo from the black alternates back in the day would be awesome for a shoulder patch. Even still, will be nice to see the Sens go back to their roots with a black home jersey. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-kj 2,329 Posted July 13, 2020 The wings were the worst part of the bad original logo. If you're not going to keep the superior current 3D logo, at least keep the mostly-superior current 2D logo. Also, the Peace Tower logo is traaaaaaaaash. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would make them a black and red version of the leafs basically. Perhaps with different proportions but still. I say it’ll be the same as before with the numbers inside the stripes. No one else does that anymore. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoE38_Concepts 1,662 Posted July 13, 2020 As a Sens fan, it's kinda surprising to me that a pretty good chunk of the fanbase thinks the updated 2D is hot garbage (which I strongly disagree with). I would prefer the updated 2D to be the main logo, but I'm not gonna complain that I can finally cheer for a team that doesn't wear a 13-year hot templated mess. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bayne 1,022 Posted July 13, 2020 I'm in the minority but I never quite felt the updated 2d head elicited the same impact that the original does. I always like thicker lines, so I appreciate it for that, but the original feels more like a primary logo, where the updated one looks more like a shoulder patch IMO. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DTConcepts 2,093 Posted July 14, 2020 I will never, for the life of me, understand why they didn't go with this logo from the start. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
