oddball Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 The "Weagle" is probably one of the three worst logos in the NHL currently. The other two? The Kings pencil logo and anything related to the Canucks (Johnny Canuck, Johnny Canuck V, Whale, and Ice Rink "c"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whale doesn't bother me too much, but with the addition of the wordmark it does. Can't stand the Johnny V. I wish that would die. The Canucks have too many current logos, let alone past logos. 2 is more than enough, but they have about 5 or 6. It's rediculous. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I agree that they have too many, but the only one I'd keep is Johnny Canuck. Would instantly put them in my NHL top 5.

Kramerica Industries Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 The full-bodied Johnny Canuck is the best logo Vancouver has.The rink-C needs to stay where it belongs, historically. I can't get behind that representing a strong brand in any capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think it looks cool. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

ColeJ Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 i think the weagle is a cute alternate logo... perfect for a alternate sweater, and for the shoulders.the love it gets is absolute overkill though, and it looks awful on anything but a white background to me.

goforbroke Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 These jerseys were all over the Garden today...worn by fans, not at the team shops. The people wearing them seemed to think they are the winter classic jerseys but i think they got scammed. The websites selling them are all very sketchy, and on top of that the crest logo doesnt match the jersey itself or the logo they are using in other promotional material for the winter classic. I'm guessing they wear a white verson of the heritage jerseys from last year, so basically the above jersey but with a diagonal New York or Rangers. The stars would be a nice little tribute to the new york americans jerseys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 That's a fake. Though it does kind of make me wish they would go with a NY Americans-inspired throwback.

For what it's worth, I share his opinion. Too much blue and red butting up against each other in that logo, it's just not "strong". The concept is solid, but the execution is sorely lacking.

The_Admiral Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 The blue and red could possibly stand to be set off from each other. That's a flaw I'll acknowledge. However, this is the first time the Washington Capitals have had a logo that has communicated "Washington Capitals" without spelling out the words "Washington Capitals," and that counts for a lot to me. Also, what's up front now is a hideous reimagining of what was already a pretty hideous design, this weird. jagged, "edgy" take on '70s kitsch. EDIT: is this any better? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 That Rangers "jersey" doesn't even have the Real Winter Classic patch on it. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kings pencil logo and anything related to the Canucks (Johnny Canuck, Johnny Canuck V, Whale, and Ice Rink "c").It's one thing to hate on the Canucks but their identity?That colour scheme alone makes them among the best dressed teams in the league. The alternate jersey in particular is perfection with its Johnny Canuck "V' shoulder patches. How anyone could hate on that logo is completely beyond my comprehension. Works perfectly as a shoulder patch and finally gives the team a logo depicting it's namesake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I hate that logo because it's a bastardized version of a great logo. The full-length Johnny Canuck is outstanding.

I respect oddball's opinion and wanted him to provide further insight as to why the Weagle is ranked so low. However, the responses you and the admiral have provided greatly enhance my perspective and understanding of the finer details that should be considered when creating an effective logo. With that said, I appreciate being informed that the Weagle could have been executed better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look on the Winter Classic site (http://www.nhl.com/ice/eventhome.htm?location=/winterclassic/2012) you see the retro version of the Rangers shield they are using. I've also seen the arch Rangers text in some official medium so my guess they are going to go with a white (or cream) version of the 46-47 uniforms.

kw11333 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 So stupid that the Oil and the Bolts are using their old 3rd jerseys. You JUST changed you identity, and you use your old logo's/colours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it an eagle is it the capital? The triangle in the middle, the lighting bolts on some wings and not others. Plus it looks like someone drove a steam roller over it and it's been flattened. How much more horrible can you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
