winters in buffalo Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Why do I have a feeling that's going to spark an outbreak of Sabres' concepts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Why do I have a feeling that's going to spark an outbreak of Sabres' concepts? I'm more appauled by the same font and grey cup they've been using since 2004. Can't the CFL try something different for a change? As for the logo. Who's hosting it? The University of Manitoba? I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost looks like it.For comparison...Thanks LogoserverNot bad, but the white horn bugs me.Could've been worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac the Knife Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Can anyone explain for us stupid Americans the significance of the buffalo/bison and how it ties to Winnipeg and/or the Blue Bomber franchise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Likely has to do with the Provincial Flag of Manitoba, as well as the provincial coat-of-arms. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

Gordie Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 It's crap. The only decent elements are the script and cup, which have been carried over from past logos.We had a bunch of better bison rendered by amateurs here during the Kolodziej scam, and it looks like Barnstorm Communications is running an in-house contest to see who can draw the worst maple leaf from year to year.

Phil Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Likely has to do with the Provincial Flag of Manitoba, as well as the provincial coat-of-arms. The bison is the animal most commonly identified with Manitoba, despite the fact that its natural habitat covers only a quarter of the province.Manitoba, as a prairie province, was home to many bison herds as little as 100 years ago, before they were hunted to near extinction in the region. Regardless, as Mockba mentioned, they can be found on the provincial flag and coat-of-arms. In addition, two huge bison statues guard the stairway in the provincial legislature.And Gordie, you're right... that's a horrible maple leaf.

winghaz Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 It may not be the greatest-looking maple leaf, but that's a fantastic-looking bison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 It's okay--but the last few years they all look very similar (especially Ottawa's resemblance to Saskatchewan's...But Even BC's looks similar to those.

-kj Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 The trophy looks odd, as if it's broken somewhere between the cup and the base. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

Gordie Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 . . . that's a fantastic-looking bison.I disagree - it's sloppy, and even if you cleaned it up, mediocre at best.Bucknell has a fantastic bison, Marshall has a good one, Colorado's is nice, even Fiasco's Oatmeal Stout label kicks the crap out of the one in this Grey Cup logo.For the championship, and showcase event, of a professional league, you ought to be able to come up with something better than a retread logo with a second-rate bison and a piss-poor maple leaf slapped on.

No, really, don't beat around the bush.Tell us what you really think of it.My input. Meh.I see it, I don't have anything to say.It's just ordinary.Not horrible, not great. Just ordinary.

ReginaCanuck Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Each of these would be not bad on their own, but it's really annoying how they reuse 80% of the logo from the year before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of those, I like Vancouver's the best.......and all of those are better than the lame Super Bowl logos we have down here.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muskokalax Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Now I am not too sure, but this company is the same that came up with the Ottawa Renegades logo, and any other interests that Brad Watters used to have.The Grey Cup logos are kind of boring.

Stampman Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 The Regina one was kind of cool, and it fit the team as well, but then it's just revisions more than new logos--"Hmm, how can I tweak the Regina logo for Ottawa?"etc.They used to have more individuality.There are some older ones at the bottom of this page.
