Frenchie Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 How about Captain Highliner.....I think that is more well known as the Gorton's Fisherman.I've never heard of that one referred to as "Captain Highliner", but when I hear "Gorton's Fisherman", I know exactly what is being talked about.With all due respect, it's the opposite here... never heard of Gorton's, but know absolutely who the Captain is...As for the Robo-Pigeon, I thought we were referring to that Mighty Ducks' atrocity...So I don't know his knickname, but he must have one... Any Ducks' fans in the house???I will SECOND Winnie the Pooh... he's soooo cute!!! @Frenchie_TO Owner of the Rochester Americans of the MLH Owner of the Toronto Frenchies of the GCFHL6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNCane4288 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Canucks - "Flying skate?"Boston Bruins alternate "Winnie the Pooh"Nordiques "Igloo"Also, not sure if this has caught fire anywhere else but here in Regina amongst my friends, but I call the new 3d Ottawa logo "Mark Messier in a Senator Costume"And also, the New Jersey Devils "Nasty Crap" or "Worst team ever"HAHA....I have to second "Mark Messier in a Senator Costume." That's just classic.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Perhaps, there are a few people here who haven't heard of the nickname "La Sainte Flanelle" given to the Canadiens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 thirding Winnie the PoohAs for the Robo-Pigeon, I thought we were referring to that Mighty Ducks' atrocity...So I don't know his knickname, but he must have one... Any Ducks' fans in the house???nah, robo-pigeon aka the hummingbird is the 90s Pens logo. the duck busting out of the ice (which is what I figure you allude to) bears the same name as the Ducks' mascot-Wild Wing. If i'm not mistaken, the logo was based on the Wild Wing statue outside the Pond (IMO they shoulda at least kept that part of the arena's official name)in any event, I don't figure this meets the OP's requirements, as it was based on the costumed mascot and bears its name. I'm almost positive the Brewers' "Beer Barrel Man" also falls into that unfortunately-official area, otherwise I would've nominated it.

I can say right now that Bubbles isn't going in, because I've been a member here since '04 (and a lurker before that) and never heard of it prior to this thread. That doesn't mean that it isn't a valid nickname, but it's not nearly on the level of some of the others.

I'm in Canada, and up here we have "Captain Highliner" fish sticks, etc. and that guy looks like the dude in the logo. I've only heard of "Gorton's Fishsticks" when people reference this logo on the boards, and they're always American! I've never seen Gorton's stuff in the store.

Brick Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Wasn't the Washington Nationals'/Senators' W called "Pretzel W"?That's what it was called before radio broadcaster Charlie Slowes started saying after every win,"And a Curly W is in the books." That was no later than June 2005. I don't know if it's "official", but I've heard Stan Kasten and other people in the front office call it the Curly W.

BBTV Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 Stick-in-rinkI think I'ma have to make a separate wing in the "hall" for nicknames that are literal descriptions of the logos - but I guess I have to agree - the same arguments I made about the BIG probably apply to the Stick In Rink too.

I've only heard of "Gorton's Fishsticks" when people reference this logo on the boards, and they're always American! I've never seen Gorton's stuff in the store.Well its my list, and I'm in America I'll be refining the criteria once I get some more time, but for now, I've started to categorize the inducted logos. I'll make it more robust, with descriptions and links eventually.Now then, I'm pleased to announce that the Hall has accepted the following:Robo Pigeon The Goat Head Stick In Rink "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Arts11 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Who's the "Goat Head?" That's the only one out of the original list that I couldn't identify, and I remember "Robo-Pigeon" more as "the Hummingbird." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
