Korbyn Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Not sure if this has been discussed, but I think that I recall hearing last year that the Flames had only been given permission by the Federal & Provincial Government to use the flags for 1 year.Does anyone know if I'm making this up, if they were given permission again, or if they'll be dropped?I hope they get dropped as they were ugggggly.

Webhamster Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Not sure if this has been discussed, but I think that I recall hearing last year that the Flames had only been given permission by the Federal & Provincial Government to use the flags for 1 year.Does anyone know if I'm making this up, if they were given permission again, or if they'll be dropped?Yes. They had to get permission from the two governments and the NHL to wear them for one year. At the time it was said it was to commemorate the 100th anniversary of organized hockey in Alberta.Also at the time they said that they would need to get permission to wear them going forward beyond last season. I haven't seen any word either way as to whether or not they got that or even sought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartacat_12 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Well at last year's draft a lot of the teams were still using their pre-Edge jerseys so that doesn't mean they'll still use the flags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calgary has fantastic jerseys, the flags are unnesessary blobs of colors that don't belong there. It ruins their overall look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerbreadmann Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 New Bruins wordmark.Wow. Oh and, I forgot to ask, this isn't being used anywhere special right? It's just 'there'?It's not anything hugely special. But I really like it. I just don't love the serifs and all, how they all point left up top.

The_Admiral Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I still think that B is great, but I'm not a fan of the "RUINS" part, especially the N. It's that same distracting haphazard-serif approach that the Patriots' nameplates have, and I don't like it there, either. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habsfan1 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Their (The Flames) current jerseys are one of, if not, the ugliest jerseys in the league.I thought people would start liking them in vertical stripes because I think Calgary pulled it off quite nicely. But that's just my opinion. I won't argue because I'm sure I'm in the minority with this thought.good?....bad? (New Bruins wordmark) I'd love to hear some opinions on this.I don't care too much about the new wordmark. But keep posting as many images as you can. Thanks for sharing.

CreamSoda Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 not a fan of the B's new word mark. The serifs look odd and too one directional... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plamenj Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 The Hockey News Logo Rankings CentralIt?s the image that brings a city together and sets it apart from everywhere else. When players say they?re playing for what?s on the front of the jersey, not the back, this is what they are speaking of. The colors, mascots and traditions collide in an emblem forever emblazoned on flags, hats and hoodies ? until some genius in marketing decides to go for a more youthful demographic, that is.Welcome to The Hockey News' Ultimate Logo Tournament.Over the course of the next two months, we will first lay out our rankings of every notable league in North America, then let you vote on your favorites.From your votes, a tournament will be spawned. An event which will pit 40 teams from every league against each other, regardless of home attendance, winning record or prominence. The Montreal Canadiens may end up facing the Fayetteville FireAntz. The Minnesota Wild could run up against the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Who knows? Tourney time is approaching and it will be madness.Beginning now, THN.com will start posting our league rankings, from the NHL to the USHL. We assembled a panel of THN staffers to debate the merits of each and every logo, in which the winners were celebrated and the less fortunate eviscerated. Factors such as uniqueness, impact and overall aesthetic were all considered in our choices.Accompanying each ranking will be a poll, allowing you the reader to pick your favorite from our top 10. For some leagues, that?s everyone. For others, there won?t be enough tickets for the dance. That?s life. Based on the poll results, 40 teams will be chosen ? including at least one from each league (and conference in the case of the NCAA).Those 40 winners will be part of the tournament, which will also be voted on by you. The showdown commences Sept. 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
