KittSmith_95 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Islanders in Navy, Oilers in Royal IMO. Keeps them different from one another. Also, the Devils adding a pant logo is fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were pretty much the only team to look worse when they switched over to adidas, and this doesn't help at all. A change for change's sake Is adding a logo really that egregious?

But it seems for now it's only for training camp. I don't think it's only for training camp. Hughes is wearing them in the NHL media day photoshoot. If it was the actual team logo it would be fine, but the fact that it's a grayscale has me a bit concerned. I'm worried this could mean they're planning on introducing some sort of black & grey 'stealth' alternate like Tampa. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepis21 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Correct me if I'm wrong, but Coyotes wouldn't be homeless after this season? It could be quite funny if they gonna relocate one year after back to Kachina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is they hole up in the Memorial Coli while a new arena is being made in Tempe, ala the Isles holing up in Nassau while Belmont was being constructed. Tempe wants a pro sports team there, and literally nobody else in the city needs a new place to play right now; that plus the gambling revenue and the NHL having a vested interest in the market makes a move unlikely. If anything, I see Houston as the Western Conference Quebec; a threat to dangle over cities to get them to cooperate. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of wordmarks... Coyotes' Guide to Style Resurrects White Kachina Another result of the rebranding is a new wordmark, with two custom display typefaces, "Desert Sans" and "Desert Sans Condensed." "Desert Sans" was created to match the Coyotes' heritage look and feel. The typeface will be used to create large and confident messaging systems. "Desert Sans Condensed" works well in large sizes because of its readability. The font will be used mostly as a graphic element, because of its beautiful shapes and negative spaces. Both versions of the new wordmark can include either the full-body Kachina primary logo or the Kachina mask secondary logo. 3 "If things have gone wrong, I'm talking to myself, and you've got a wet towel wrapped around your head."

This just feels incomplete and the color balance is off compared to the above: I was talking about the logo concept. Not the stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the Suns' arena not suitable for hockey, or am I missing why they can't play downtown for a few seasons? Sorry, I'm on an iPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanMcD29 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 So I'm going out on a limb and guessing that either Peak Lou things are happening and the Islanders aren't doing a 50th anniversary logo this year (they did the 25th in 96-97 and 40th in 11-12) or they're waiting for next year to coincide with 72-73? I don't know, the lockout threw things off-kilter and this is a bit confusing, or it's just Lou saying "no we're not doing one". Either way, the Islanders bucking this stupid one year gold accented third jersey trend for 50th anniversaries is nice Also FWIW no UBS Arena inaugural season patch either 2 Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coyotes did play there in the 90s, but that’s one of those basketball-first arenas a la Barclays where the hockey rink doesn’t quite fit and a lot of the seats can’t see the rink. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean that's true, but most fans don't notice details like that the way people on a sports branding forum do. Senators fans, myself included, were just happy the old logo they always loved was back and the 2010s logo that was, at best, tolerable, and at worst, an eyesore, was gone along with those ugly jerseys. Most Ottawa fans barely even realize the outline of the new logo is gold instead of red, unless you pull the logo up to their face and point at it. They don't really care about tracing or the symmetry of the laurels. All I know is that, seemingly overnight, every Senators fan I met was rocking a new hat or something with the 2D logo again and 2010s logo just disappeared completely, hopefully never to be seen again. That's a team "getting it right" in my book. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling they'll work some sort of deal out with Glendale that will allow them to keep playing there for a few years while a new rink gets built in Tempe. 11 hours ago, WSU151 said: The Sens had the same jersey in NHL 94 and it's really just the Blackhawks RR jersey.

People roll their eyes at me, but I said from day 1 (of last season) that that should have been Ottawa's Reverse Retro jersey (maybe just a red version of it?) They could have had fun with it as a one-off instead of going the safe and boring route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
