Rocky the Roadrunner gets another makeover

The 3rd jersey looks WAYYYYY too much like the regular white jersey. Also, how come the blue jersey was the only one to get shoulder patches? Not bad, but definately could have been better. Especially with more of a Southwestern flavor. Those colors would seem to suit a SoCal team better. Anyone know anything about name/number font and colors?

The colors suck big time. Major league disappointment. The jerseys are ok, but shoot, they could've done so much better.

BTW, this team is playing at the America West Arena, right? They do know about the 1/4 of the seats unvailable for viewing the entire rink.

Well considering the team plays in the ECHL, I wouldn't think those seats would be available anyways. BTW remember those practice jerseys from the mid-90's?

Good God, I love those 'Runners alts. A shot just from the front doesn't even begin to do them justice. The lettering on the back is done in lower case, and the numerals have flames cut into the digits. How I long for one.

As for the new stuff... meh. Rocky is one of the rare occasions where I feel traditional. The PH(crossed hockey sticks) wordmark makes me physically ill. Is it that hard to spell Phoenix? The winged R is subpar also. I once designed a shoulder logo for the 'Runners that was simply the lowercase "r" with motion lines behind it. Simpler and better.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

I enjoy the animated gif, showing what the logo looks liek in all of its iterations, though in general with 'new logo' releases, I'd like to see a frame of the OLD logo in there as well. I had to view every post in this thread to see the difference, cause i couldnt find ECHL on your site.

Marketing Guy: "How can we make this guy look even LESS like a Roadrunner?"

Designer: "Hmmmm, maybe thicken and shorten his beak?"

Combine the Road Runner with Heckle and Jeckle, with a little Woody Woodpecker. Add ice and stir, serve liberally.

now what gentlemen's club do they serve that at?

As a Roadrunner fan since 1970, I'll miss the old "Rocky". However, the more I look at the new one the more I like it. The new Rocky looks like he's wearing a real

hockey jersey as opposed to a skin-tight shirt, which is an approvement. The head doesn't look as good as the old one; it resembles a tired crow. They should have incorporated the original's wide-eyed, wise-ass smirk. The third jersey is a nice tribute to the WHL team. This style was worn from 1967-71.

I think the powder blue and gold are fabulous. I don't care for the black because this means they'll probably wear black pants, which won't look good with the alt. jersey. I'm curious to see how light the blue will be once the jerseys are formally introduced. The original jerseys from the WHL were more of a light royal blue similar to the Stl Blues of that era. Someone mentioned earlier that the colors better fit a SoCal team. Well, the original 'runner Pres. and co-owner, Bob Whitlow,

was a UCLA grad.
