Good observation. That execution of it ain't hitting (the top-left), but the idea of that could work well as a secondary/shoulder patch if rendered the right way. 2 Quote *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayne Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Par for the course from the Hurricanes organisation. I find all the primary concepts to be an unnecessary downgrade from their current logo (which has always been underrated imo, and has stanley cup history). But at least this might meant they'll actually commit to an identity instead of constantly being all over the place. Quote I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do.

KittSmith_95 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 The Canes logos: Top Left: Neat idea... for a name & number font and Captain's "C", but not a primary logo. Top Right: Good idea of going for a negative space thing ala Whalers, but it looks forced, and not sure it'd work on a jersey. Mid Left: Terrible. Script and variations: I like it, but for merch, not for a jersey itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaGrandeOrange Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 The two C-storms are a definitely downgrade from what they have- they feel ECHL-y. The script is mediocre but at least sort of works. The C with the flags is...competent, maybe a lateral move? The Hurricanes are low-key among the biggest aesthetic disasters in the big five, though, so I can see them making this change.

Lots of people care about the Blue Jackets.

ruttep Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Carolina, this isn't hard. You brought back your best uniform ever as an alternate last year, wore it in the playoffs, and then inexplicably dumped them for the previous red jersey . . . Just bring back the road version as well 10 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been a die-hard hockey fan, but I've been to 2 CBJ games in my lifetime and despite both being losses, I had a blast each time. Looking to go again before the season's over to take my girlfriend out for her birthday. A ton of my colleagues are season ticket holders as well. You'd think the 'Jackets were annual playoff contenders the way the crowds show up at Nationwide. Not only is it a great venue itself, but there are tons of great restaurants and bars within a short walk. 1 Quote @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only is it a great venue itself, but there are tons of great restaurants and bars within a short walk. That's great to hear. Honestly it's pretty impressive that the crowds are that good for a team that's pretty much had no chance at a championship. I will say this though... I'm pretty much an all around sports fan. I watch most major sports, golf, etc. The Jackets are super forgettable from an outsiders perspective. That probably mostly has to do with the fact that they haven't been relevant in the standings. I think it also stems from a pretty strange identity with the neon hornet, to the cannon, etc. For a non Columbusian, there is almost no reason to follow them since they aren't a good hockey team and I don't find their visual identity appealing. Plus I follow the Blues, so I watch a lot more Western Conference teams. But this post isn't meant to dog the franchise, just FYI. I'm glad that Columbus is supportive of them. And the posts you gave have written make me think a Blues road game in Columbus would be cool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Don't know, but two theories: 1) Karmanos didn't want to do a full-scale rebrand for 07-08 because of his own traditionalist tendencies but also didn't think they could get away with big-timing the entire Edge concept the way the Devils and Blackhawks did, so they made a nominal change for the sake of change to goose sales 2) the Hurricanes under Karmanos were always a giant Red Wings LARP and he wanted the shoulders to stand out like they do on Detroit's white sweater Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 The Edge uniforms were originally supposed to be tucked in as this early prototype suggests. I remember hearing that Karmanos fought RBK on this so they could keep their distinctive hem stripes intact. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DustDevil61 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 A lot can be said about Peter Karmanos, but at least he cared about the consistency of his team’s appearance.
