AFirestormToPurify Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 How about something like this? Quick MSPaint job. I tried to fix the stick buttend, blade tape, triangle outline and lack of teal Old 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 That fixed one still has the issue I was talking about with the inner black outline. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think I made the outlines on the shark worse. I hadn't even noticed lol. Well, sounds I'm in over my head with this photoshop job But if you squint it looks good, no?

But I don't want another teal nosed shark. That's so cartoony and childish The beatings will continue until the uniforms improve. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chcarlson23 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I also think that both Sharks logos really do have their flaws. While the 90’s bizarreness of the shark eating a hockey stick is actually really cool, the logo just needs to be cleaned up a little bit. The current logo looks more inline with a dated ECHL logo, where it’s tough but cartoony. It needs a little more realism, and a few less outlines. I also still can’t believe that the artist didn’t know enough about hockey to figure out the knob of the stick-problem. 1 "And those who know Your Name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."

The Sharks and the Jaguars are logo siblings in different sports, while both of their original logos are flawed they are far superior to the slicked up attempts to modernize in their current logos. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridleylash Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Eh, I feel like mashing the best of both together produces a more desirable result, personally. There's bits of both that are good; the improved shark on the newer one, the lack of an unnecessary curve on the triangle in the original. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTConcepts Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I'm tired of retuning to the deigns of the past. Between the Coyotes, Sabres, Flames, Penguins, Islanders, and Senators, we've got enough teams that replaced their identities with stuff that's borrowed from the past. The Sharks' current logo is fine, there's no need to change it. It looks cleaner, more fierce, and more dynamic than the cartoony '90s logo does. Just brighten the teal, replace the orange with grey, redesign the jerseys, and call it a day. 1 "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..."

TheRealPepman Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Weird that the Flames did not have a helmet sponsor yesterday when they did two days ago. Is it because the TELUS stickers have not been printed yet or will it be a different sponsor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seasaltvanilla Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 The old shark looks like a kid's drawing of a shark. It's a blob with fins. Modernize it like the Sens did with the 2D Centurion , but to go back to the original logo is a mistake just like the Sens made by using their original logo. It's poorly rendered and neither team has the historical cache to use a poorly rendered logo just because it's old. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't the intention to wear the 80s "FLAMES" wordmark decals when the team unveiled the full retro set last year? Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

The current logo is an anime character. I think that every Sharks logo has been cartoon-y, just in different styles. The current does feel very anime-inspired and the old one feels like it's from an old comic strip. The new one is undeniably much more dynamic and has better proportions overall, but I would definitely like an update that reduces the bad aspects of it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosioux76 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 So is the general consensus that the orange is unnecessary to the Sharks look? I actually think the color looks great next to the teal. It's just that, in the current set, it's so underplayed that it seems extraneous. I can see making the case for dropping it altogether. But If I'm being honest, I wouldn't mind seeing what it looks like if orange became a bigger part of the brand. My biggest issue with the Sharks' original color scheme is that, despite teal being a new-at-the-time trend color for the league, the whole thing felt drab. The brighter teal they're using now certainly helps, but using black or gray as secondary colors just brings it down a notch for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, removing the stick and going back to the original colors improves it a lot. 12 "If things have gone wrong, I'm talking to myself, and you've got a wet towel wrapped around your head."
