gojetsgo Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Go to the 13 minute mark of the video to see an interview with the logo and uniform designer. Nothing too in depth, but he does talk about his desire to have the team wear just blue, and skip the red to be different from "that other team."http://www.yathehabsrule.com/2009/11/nfb-film-gives-early-look-at-quebec.htmlWorth a watch. There's other general hockey goodness to watch in there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puckguy14 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 So can we officially add a Nordique logo that has the red replaced with a royal / cobalt blue? 2004 San Jose Sharks 7th Man Fan of the Year San Jose Gold Miners - 4x Lombardi Cup Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the double-blue Igloo N more than the blue and red one.It also gives a cooler feel to their look, though the Light (French?) Blue/Red look that Quebec initially had certainly was unique for hockey in the day (and, as far as the NHL goes, still is, as Atlanta doesn't have that much red in their light blue uniform).

BallWonk Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Guy had a good point about not using the Canadiens' color scheme. I like the double-blue Igloo N more than the blue and red one.Too right. I've always liked the Nordiques logo, but something about it looked out of place for a hockey team. It had the feel of a mid-1970s corporate logo; could just as easily been for an iron-mining company with the initials NL as a hockey club. Something about the version with deep royal blue instead of red brings it back into the realm of specifically sports logos for me. Turns a very good but somewhat flawed and dated logo into a truly great sports logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 The CBC and NFB also have weird abstract logos. Oh, and Hockey Night in Canada with the stick/puck circle. Lots of interesting Canadian graphic design. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
