SenatorJake Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Let's be honest here. Were it not for tradition, the New York I slanders would have one of the worst logos in the whole league.That being said, I can't see myself accepting that the Islanders wear anything other than the dynasty-era uniforms. I know what they wear right now is a uniform that predates those form the glory years, but at least it's close enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The road is nearly identical. They could fix that, and even bring back the 4-stripe shoulder patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more subtle.However, if they pull a Habs and start winning 24 more Cups then they'll have a Kessel candycane stick on their logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwing64 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 However, if they pull a Habs and start winning 24 more Cups then they'll have a Kessel candycane stick on their logo.Reminds me of that third jersey Edmonton had a while back.The five rivets were symbolic of their Stanley Cup Championships. I remember reading somewhere that they would simply add more to it if the Oilers won any more Cups. Now if they had 24 like Montreal, it would just be a circular saw.

IceCap Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Yeah, I never liked the five rivets/four stripes the Oilers and Islanders went with. It seemed like an admission that either team would never win another Cup.

BigBubba Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I actually really like Calgary's throwbacks, but only as just that - throwbacks. Bring 'em out 5-10 times a year, sure, but no more than that Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgo Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Yeah, I never liked the five rivets/four stripes the Oilers and Islanders went with. It seemed like an admission that either team would never win another Cup.At least the Oilers toned down that shtick. The Islanders in their logos page have 7 out of 14 logos referencing their 4-year run. (That's not counting the uniforms for both teams being thrown back to their glory years). Their 45th/50th anniversary logos will feature the "4 cups" thing again.Nevertheless, as mentioned, the stripes on the stick aren't the main design element of the logo like the Oilers' Spawn logo. You wouldn't notice it unless you're looking for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayne Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Haha I totally agree about logos that are designed to represent the number of cups a team has won. If you need to make physical changes to your logo every time a team wins a cup then it's a bad logo. The Oilers' alternate logo supposedly needing to be altered if they won another cup is just tacky to me. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do.

The Oilers' alternate logo supposedly needing to be altered if they won another cup is just tacky to me.I think it's an excellent thing for something other than a primary logo. Secondary, maybe. Tertiary, definitely. Then only a subtle change is necessary, and let's face it, nobody is ever sad about tweaking a logo because they won a championship. I think Steelers fans took a total of 2 seconds of mourning over not being able to say "one for the thumb" after Super Bowl XL. It's the kind of casualty you're quite ok with. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I love how the Islanders have 4 rows of tape on the stick to represent the 4 Cups - it's very nice and subtle. As I've said many times before, the 4 stripes patch was probably one of the stupidest design elements in hockey at the time. It was incredibly lazy and tacked-on. I mean seriously, what was the thought process behind that? Four Goddamn lines! How the hell is that a shoulder patch? Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

Sodboy13 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I liked it because you have to know hockey to get it, and because I thought the diagonal, contrasting lines were a minimalist nod to the paint job on a lighthouse.

Billy B Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I don't mind those logos that represent each championship, I actually kind of like that. But that might be due to being a soccer fan and liking the stars above the crest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 The red and white colour scheme of Detroit is easier on the eyes. Calgary's combination of red, white and yellow is quite garish. As much as some folks hate black being added to teams colour palettes for the sake of it, I think the Flames are a team that needs it.Agree 100%. The Flames pre-edge set was the best they've looked in their history. The current throwback doesn't even come close to that beautiful red jersey.June 4th is the confirmed date for the new Stars gear, if that hasn't been mentioned yet.A little over a month away, can't wait!

hockey week Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I wanted to share the playoff coverage logo from Pittsburgh newspaper the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. It's minimalist, informative, and in my opinion, excellent. Something like this would be an ideal finals patch, especially in an era where teams have more and more clutter on their jerseys (doesn't help I'm watching the sharks game right now lol)Sorry for the crappy photos, I can't seem to find that logo online.

twi Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I like that. Maybe with a simple silver outline so it doesn't get lost on black jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockey week Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I like that. Maybe with a simple silver outline so it doesn't get lost on black jerseys.The more I think about it, swap out that shield with the NHL-shield shape, and in the black space on either side, put the year, split two digits each. When used anywhere but jerseys, you can slap a wordmark at the bottom. And yeah, a silver outline, or white, idk yet, would make it visible on black jerseys. it's ideal.

Bayne Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I like it too. It has that traditional, regal quality to it but more simplistic and old timey. Looks a little art-deco as well.
