SteveR Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 The W-eagle, barely. I'd like to see it as a jersey crest on a blue alt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 The W-eagle, barely. I'd like to see it as a jersey crest on a blue alt.Ooh...you might be onto something here. Though, the crest would probably need to have a pretty good white outline to help it stand out. But still, the weagle on a primarily navy sweater could end up looking pretty daggone nice if produced. (Concept, anyone?) *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Concept, anyone?)This is just a quick and dirty recolor of their current template. It's more likely that they'd come up with a whole new jersey design. The weagle is a really good logo. Good logo nickname too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good logo nickname too.Idk I've seen many blue alt concepts with the weagle on the front and haven't really been impressed by any of them... I think it works best on the shoulders as a complimenting logo. A red, white, and blue alternate featuring the 1 Legged screeching Eagle from the previous set of uni's for the Caps would look legit... At least it does in my mind.

Don Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Replace the current logo on the red sweater, put the Weagle there. Boom. Me buy.

BBTV Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I just can't stand the red right up against the navy in that logo.Separate the wings with white (think Flyers wings) and separate the red from the navy with white. There's just something... un-NHL about it as is.

Axis_of_Weasel Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 My personal favorite Caps logo is the Blue/Gold Eagle.THANK YOUi thought i was the only one to think this. those jerseys, color scheme, and primary and secondary logos were fantastic. instant modern classic. if they had kept them now, i'd have an easier time rooting for the caps. to this day i dont know why they ever changed them.

There's just something... un-NHL about it as is.I don't think its a huge problem on the logo since the detail of the wings isn't the focal point but on that subject I absolutely hate the navy side panels on the current Home jersey. The colours bleed together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it falls to the team. Reebok and push for any design all they want. It's the team that makes the decision.

IceCap Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I imagine most of them probably used variations of the "maple leaf style striping" theme.

IceCap Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 It's like the Ballard era design....without everything that made it look good.

loogodude90 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Now that I really look at all these logos, I think they all pretty much look equally good, and were all kind of appropriate for the era. They had the original "capitals script" logo, then went through the Standard "Mid-90's Identity Change - to the Xtreme!", then the "Early 2000's tone-down", and then full circle to the "Late 2000's Fauxback" look, which seems to be a standard identity cycle. They never seemed to hang on too long to an identity for it to get stale or look dated for that era, and don't seem to change identities too often either. It's hard for me to say which is uniquely the best. WIZARDS ORIOLES CAPITALS RAVENS UNITED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
