twi Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Some of you need to simmer the down. They're not bad, in fact they're really close to their original look which a lot of people have been clamoring for. Are they perfect? No. They should've ditched the stupid ass front numbers and kept a hem stripe, but other than that, they're far from the "WURST JERZEEZ EVUR!!!1!11!eleven111"This uniform is only a few tweaks away from being awesome. It doesn't make it good by any stretch of the imagination though.Giggy...in Bauer? Interesting, never saw that before. I'm assuming that's a preseason game or something. Much more interesting topic than the Sharks terrible new jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 When you look at the "3" as well as the head, it actually does look like Dion's Photoshopped in. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Oh gawd, look at Terry Smith's(San Jose Sharks primary designer) work. He's a terrible designer. Even his website looks like trash http://www.terrysmithcreations.com/I wouldn't call Terry Smith a "terrible" designer. He's obviously had a good deal of success and he's been in the business for a long time. I'd say his work is a little dated and out of fashion, but I wouldn't say he's a terrible designer. Now, his sports paintings where he made his name - those are hilarious. They're okay in terms of realist painting, but sooooo kitschy. Dwight Gooden can throw fast, the ball's on fire! Michael Jordan can jump high, he has rockets instead of legs!. Also, in 1992 he painted a picture of a juicing Barry Bonds titled "Bionic Bonds". In 1992! Maybe he actually is a genius.

He has provided some gems (Lake Elsinore Storm, Worcester Sharks shield/W/fin logo), but it seems he's the reason that San Jose branding in general isn't the greatest. Apparently, if you're in San Jose, he's the only option.

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Our boy Terry borrows from his own designs..They are not exact copies but more of a "remix" of his own logos.. There are more examples and he seems to use the same font over and over.Wow. The CyberRays. I almost forgot about that disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reselling a design you sold to another client. That's the San Jose Saber Cats head (which I'm sure he designed) on a design for some hockey team.

Orgo Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 That random red patch where the NHL shield usually is doesn't look too well when empty.Have they thought about slapping on the AHL logo there instead of on the jersey's back hem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwing64 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Oh gawd, look at Terry Smith's(San Jose Sharks primary designer) work. He's a terrible designer. Even his website looks like trash http://www.terrysmithcreations.com/You're right. Most of his logos feel like they could have came straight out of the concept section. The guy's cyber/ sting rays logos look an awful lot like the Hull Sting Rays of the British Elite Ice Hockey League... Unless Hull copied his...Knowing how British hockey teams operate, it's more likely that the Hull Stingrays stole this logo. But I'll be somewhat pleasantly surprised if Smith actually provided it to them.Incase anyone's interested, this was the team's original logo before they bumped up to the Elite League: PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockey week Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 This would be great for the NHL Wild:The green roundel on the green jersey just seems so redundant. But maybe that's only because it's a roundel placed around an already-used, shrunk-down logo, because that same effect works well on the Jets, imo. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.

But maybe that's only because it's a roundel placed around an already-used, shrunk-down logo, because that same effect works well on the Jets, imo.Just using the existing logo and putting it in a rondel with text and maybe a flashy graphic (the shooting stars in this case) is probably the lowest form of grasping for straws in the logo business IMO. Also, if they go with that, they would have 3-4 of the same logo on the sweater. (1 crest, 2 shoulder, one possibly on the pants.)I'd place logo without the rondel on the front, remove the phantom yoke, and then get a new secondary logo to put on the shoulders (I don't care if it's two intertwining letters as long as its at least different) if I could tweak this.

BigBubba Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 That is a terrible uniform, roundel or not. The phantom yoke, piss white, and complete lack of red/gold really weigh it down.

I think the entire board is in general approval of minimalism on goalie masks. That mask looks like it could be a nice mix. The leaves (leafs?) on the side should be pretty visible from far away, but there's the airbrushed stuff for up close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgo Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Pads are great, but the mask is just OK. There is just a bit of a CuJo vibe, but at least his mask isn't littered with crap illegible from a distance. Scrivens' mask was great last year and I hope his LA one is good as well.
