walby2 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Seems weird to me that a team playing in such a big and well known city wouldn't embrace that fact by actually using the city name in more than just a cursory way.I mean, if the AHL came to NYC would anyone expect the team to be called the "Hudson River fillintheblanks" or somesuch?

Fillintheblanks is a horrible nickname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illwauk Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Seems weird to me that a team playing in such a big and well known city wouldn't embrace that fact by actually using the city name in more than just a cursory way.That's because their identity is based on a local legend known as the Lake Erie Monster. It's the same reason the New Jersey Devils didn't become the Newark Devils when they moved into the Prudential Center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESTONES6 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I don't its terrible, but it doesn't really add anything to the logo either. To be honest, I dont really notice it much. I'm not against it as long as its kind of like a wordmark or a primary logo. It should say 'of Cleveland', I agree, but as long as its not like a complete overhaul, I don't really care. I think the logo is pretty cool and I don't necessarily think that the 'Cleveland' ruins the overall logo.

hockey week Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I don't see why this was necessary to put in the primary logo. You could make a secondary one that includes it, plenty of room in a roundel, after all, and put that on the shoulders. Ideally, you introduce a third jersey with "CLEVELAND" going diagonal down it, an homage to both the Lumberjacks and the Avalanche. That would have been way better than this logo adjustment I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if they absolutely must, Cleveland Lake Monsters sounds OK. But the fact that using Lake Erie is different in a Golden State Warriors kind of way (which I like), makes it kind of cool. Every other hockey team in Cleveland, whether minor or pro, has failed. The Monsters are actually doing well. Don't break it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Why don't they just call them the Cleveland Monsters?http://en.wikipedia....e_(lake_monster)Okay. So they're the Cleveland Monsters in honor of a monster people think is in the lake near Cleveland. Doesn't seem hard to do.But the fact that using Lake Erie is different in a Golden State Warriors kind of way (which I like), makes it kind of cool. Every other hockey team in Cleveland, whether minor or pro, has failed.That they're succeeding because they're not named for Cleveland is some egregious post-hoc reasoning, but whatever. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
