Anyways...our teacher bought him a T-shirt and a puck with THAT senators logo on it (nowadays if a teacher did that...they'd be questioned)...then I never saw any merchandise with that logo again.

oakland ehs Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Kind of odd that they went with an almost duplicate of the Oilers jersey style at that time, with just a different logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
final_sun Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 IHL Victoria Spiders jersey, unused as the move from San Francisco never took place:I remember that jersey. I got to try the jersey on and interview the guy who was trying to bring the team to Victoria for a school project. If I recall, his son helped pick the colours for the San Jose Sharks or something like that. (That was according to him) I remember the arena was something like 12,000 that he was trying to build. A bit big for Victoria at the time.If I remember correctly, the Spiders put their giant inflatable spider thingy on ebay. I wonder if anyone bought it.A rental place here in Topeka was the last known owner of the Giant Spider. It was purchase by the now defunct Topeka Tarantulas CHL Franchise back in 2004. They never used the thing, so I'm not sure why they bought it. When the team folded, they put it on eBay.http://www.cjonline.com/stories/102005/loc_mascot.shtmland http://www.cjonline.com/stories/102705/loc_spidey.shtmlI vaguely remember the story being that the inflated spider ended up being too big for the arena the Tarantulas played in. The second article describes it as being "40 feet tall, 53 feet wide and 55 feet deep" so that seems plausible, although I can also see the cost of inflating and handling something like that every home game being too much for a Central League team. They would have been better off buying this:Even by mascot standards it is creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I LOVED that logo! In fact, I prefer it to the direction in which the NHL's return to Ottawa ultimately went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Nah - Philadelphia is too many letters to be put on a jersey using that font.I think the prototype shows that it could work rather well.

Island_Style Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Pre-pending lawsuit Jaguars...That lawsuit was a blessing in desguise.I remember when I first saw those. All I could think was, blech!! I am so thankful for that lawsuit. The current ones are so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosioux76 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I agree that the current Jaguars uniforms are way better than those prototypes. But my curiosity wants to know how they would have looked on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Agreed - it would have been interesting.And just how many sour grapes can you cram into two signature graphics, anyway?

You going for some kind of world record?They aslo should have used the circle fin logo (or at the least the new fin logo they have) with their new jerseys.Does anyone know if there was supposed to be a purpose behind the zipper collar, or was it purly aesthetic?

Moser316 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a..._badge_2005.jpgThree years ago, Coventry City F.C. proposed this change to their badge before fan outcry put the kibosh on it. The badge was never used on the field, so I suppose it qualifies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsM29 Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 I suppose these two logos should apply to this thread too since they appeared in an Official Logo Guide that I have, but are not in the most recent version of the guide. I have also heard rumors of some merchandise with these logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
