tomhunter8 Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 As the "official story behind the logo" that I posted earlier explains, this little guy...I just realized why he has a peg-leg: he apparently sawed of his leg to use as a stick.

Gothamite Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Note to Admirals GM:WE ARE ALL LAUGHING AT YOU, NOT WITH YOU. Speak for yourself - that might have been true on the evening of the first of August, but the tide of this conversation over the past several days says very much the opposite. Nice beer jpeg though.

Avsman Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I think he looks like the character from the PSP launch game Death Jr. Other than that, it's atrocious. Someone said that this logo looked cartoonish, but I thought their old logo was just as cartoonish. Just in a 1950s kind of way. Have you ever looked at sports logos...ON WEED?

Suigi Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 A photo of the jersey that was attached to the JSOnline article someone posted earlier: Ladies and gentlemen, the endangered American Douchebag GM.But seriously, I'm torn on this new identity. Although the Deadmirals color scheme I dig (black, silver, ice blue), the logo is...iffy. If this were for an NHL team, heads would roll. But in the AHL...it works. Remember, there's been cartoony logos before. Toronto Roadrunners, anyone?Witholding further judgement until the Deadmirals show us their numbers and nameplates.

dutyfree Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Would heads roll? I wonder. Look at Nashville, Tampa, Columbus, Washington and a few others. Those are major league logos and they are, in my opinion, terrible. This is minor league logo and, opinions vary, but I think it is distinct and clever.

steiny_ramone Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 It would be a great character for some kind of web cartoon, Homestar Runner, anyone? But as a hockey logo: [bUGS BUNNY] What a maroon!

BostonBlazer Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 There's only one type of skeleton more cheesier than the one shown in this logo.http://youtube.com/watch?v=6VP7cTwpt90Watch this music video and wait till the part where they show those skeletons. http://www.reverbnation.com/richardyerardihttp://www.ahlfans.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Like father, like son. Throw Jack Skellington onto a jersey and Milwaukee could ice "Tim Burton's Corpse Line" for a shift or two. The question is, can a trio of corpse's "kill a penalty" if they're already dead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 GREAT PLAN TO MAKE JERSEY SALES DROP FASTER THAN LEEDS UNITED!!!! The team obviously disagrees. Only time will tell.Given how low sweater sales were previously, I highly doubt it. They didn't even bother selling them online before, so it's already an improvement.

DrBear Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 As somebody quite rightly suggested, I was getting a little obsessive about this, so I backed out of the discussion. Just popping back in to post the following response to the angry comment I sent to the Admirals Web site the night of the announcement:Dear Mr. Barrington,Thanks for your comments regarding the new Admirals logo. As along-time Admirals employee this is my third logo change and this ofcourse is by far the most radical. Fans were actually more passionateabout the change in 1998 even though it was slight. I am hoping thatthe new look grows on you like it grew on me. Many fans who havestopped by the Admirals booth at the State Fair have said theyoriginally didn't like it, but it's growing on them. Many have evenpurchased merchandise.Remember the jersey might be different, but it's still your MilwaukeeAdmirals. Thanks for your support and we look forward to seeing youduring the 2006-07 season.Best Wishes,Mike Wojciechowski--A bit form letterish, but at least they sent an e-mail back.I still don't like the logo for all of the reasons I stated, but let's see how it does in the marketplace. Maybe I AM just getting too old for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gueman Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I took a real good look at the jersey today. While I must say the head is strange in an ABA kinda way I think the "boney anchor" is very slick. I am supprised that the AHL approved the grey jersey. I think it could cause a problem on the ice. I think that they could use the grey instead of white, but they need a real contrasting jersey on the ice. Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. P.
