RedRenesis Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 A mid-season name change? I didnt think any leagues would actually let something like that happen anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianVlietDesign Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 A mid-season name change? I didnt think any leagues would actually let something like that happen anymore.It's better then a team folding mid-season. For example, the Columbus Stars in the 2003-2004 UHL season. And they had the best record up until folding! NYCFC - MLS CUP CHAMPIONS - 2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian in Boston Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 The new logo of the Connecticut Whale will be unveiled this coming Wednesday evening (9/29/10) at 5:30 PM ET at the Koeppel Community Sports Center on the campus of Trinity College in Hartford. Afterward, it will also be on display during the Hartford Wolf Pack's preseason game against the Albany Devils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthStar74 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 One has to wonder why in the blue hell would the AHL allow this name change for the Hartford Wolf Pack to do this midseason?!? oh boy this is getting downright crazy.. that should have waited till the 2011-12 season eh?

Varsity Blue Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Seeing that a whale is the victim of a whaler, I don't get the whole idea behind this.This idea should be beached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian in Boston Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 Well, it is about what you'd expect.Connecticut Whale Logo UnveiledLine weights are all over the place. There's ample evidence of a quicky "cut-and-paste" job being done surrounding certain elements (the way the "C" overlaps the whale's tail, the manner in which the whale's fins grip the hockey stick, etc). It just seems amateur in execution. Underwhelming, to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loogodude90 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Looks pretty bad IMO, from the font choice (both for Connecticut and Whale), to the blowhole action. It also has a very 80's look to it if you ask me. Despite the wierd name, they could have at least had a cool logo or identity, but they failed. Just my opinion.

ricearoni1287 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Yuck that looks like a very 80's logo, as was stated above. Very cheezy IMO, and quite bland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's I-can't-describe-it-using-the-words-I-want-to-without-being-banned bad.I'd be disappointed in this turn of events, but I already had low expectations for this so I'm not.Howard Baldwin may know marketing, but he sure doesn't know logo design.
