BostonBlazer Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 The AHL's Norfolk Admirals have just recently unveiled their 20th anniversary logo. It's better than their previous logo IMO. It's actually not bad. http://www.reverbnation.com/richardyerardihttp://www.ahlfans.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daschuck77 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 The AHL's Norfolk Admirals have just recently unveiled their 20th anniversary logo. It's better than their previous logo IMO. It's actually not bad.It looks good! Their new RBK Edge look is horrible though. The logo doesn't match and the colors of red, royal, and yellow are not very pleasing to the eye.

Gothamite Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 That logo's a bit of a mess. Too many elements from too many eras.Did they change their colors, or just drop the current colors for this logo? The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

goforbroke Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I think its a decent looking logo, a bit busy maybe. My problem is it doesn't really say 20th anniversary to me. It looks like they just wrote it in after the logo was finished. However, im not really familiar with the history of the team logos so maybe this amalgamation does the job.

jthubble Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 As a Norfolk resident, I can offer a bit of commentary. The logo is supposed to be a "combination" of the four logos the Admirals have had in their history. The first logo was an anchor surrounded by five stars. The second also featured the anchor with stars. The current logo is the battleship shooting the Oreo cookies. The current colors are red, blue, and yellow, so the colors are right. It's not being put as a main crest on a jersey for now. If anything, it might be a patch or the center ice logo. Former Admiral Dennis McEwen came up with the idea, so it's from a hockey player's mentality (at least McEwen's mentality). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks strange to me in blue. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Wow. That is an unmitigated disaster.Looks like something I'd've done six-plus years ago for my rec league team (also named the Admirals).

agentrygraphics Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I'm not a fan of the way that the anchor seems to "weave" in and out of the strokes near the battleship and the wordmark. The ship and the blue stroke behind the word "admirals" appear to be one visual element...and the anchor splitting it up bugs me.

RyanB06 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 It isn't really a 20th anniversary, though, is it? You know, considering the Admirals have only been in the AHL for about half of that time...

How many years they've been in the AHL is meaningless, the franchise itself has been around since 89. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really sick and tired of seeing all that "Est. 1921" merchandise.Interesting that both of the AHL's Admirals came from different leagues.... The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!
