KDubK414 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 OK, so getting back to the subject at hand, I was browsing through the forum today and read this thread. Yeah, I do think it's kinda dumb to have 2 Ads teams, but it's not their fault just a coinky dink haha. I work at the Bradley Center and have heard through various sources, to dispell thoughts of "just going back" or "just a logo change," that in fact the logo is going to be entirely NEW. Add to that, the teams colors are going to be "very aquatic" in nature.I have no real information, nor do I own any concepts, but from what I hear: Ads top brass is really set that the fans and public will love it. On a sad note, maybe Phil Witliff didn't think to highly of it, a diehard for Ads fans as a player, a coach, and GM. He decided to step down today and retire. Good luck Phil in your future endeavours!!!Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Sounds interesting.I never liked the new Admirals identity - the "skating admiral" logo lost all its charm when it was reduced to just a head, and the over-emphasis on cardinal seemed misplaced with the team name.Anybody remember the 1940s Great Lakes Naval Station gold-anchor-on-blue-cap that Ebbets Field used to sell? Something like that would make a great logo for the team, and could work with the Brewers colors. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Sec19Row53 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 John Greenberg was on the radio this morning. He said that the colors and logo are completely new, not anything that they've previously used. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just still doesn't seem like a great name. When I think of Admiral, I think of someone who controls a ship militarally. Maybe Skippers would make more sense? I dunno.

KDubK414 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Since the unveiling is tonight, I thought I'd give a heads up. Last I heard, was that the colors are gonna be something like Black, Teal/Aqua, and Gold...? Not sure though, so don't quote me lol.Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deked73 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I don't know if someone mentioned this already, but I remember reading that Milwaukee's nickname came from the original owner's best selling appliance at his store was the Admiral. Today's useless bit of info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

33hooligan Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 very simplistic...different but, I'm not sure how it will look for a crest on there new jersey and if the fans will like it. I would like to see the uniform before I decide if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvrdgsfn Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Wow. That's just horrible. meh, it's interesting but at the same time, it leaves me scratching my head. I do like th elogo they orginally had but once I see the jerseys, then I'll come to a final decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
