sbirgells Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Bloomington ThunderThe railroad correlation makes sense, I can appreciate the compromise due to legalities, but the logo itself is disappointing (particularly if you're going with the railroad theme, go era-appropriate when Bloomington's railroad prominence was historically significant). And don't get me started on purple/silver/black. Way to conform to a decade-old trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

MarkAtnip Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 The first reports showed a royal blue, black and white version of the logo shown below. WJBC later showed a version of the logo in the new team colors, which were announced as a "LA Kings Style" purple, black, white. Later in the afternoon I found of this was on Pantagraph.com and they showed this as the new logo. It would appear that this is the "final" logo of the day.

Sodboy13 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 That logo isn't even suitable for the youth club they named themselves after.The Thunder will open the SPHL season at home against Peoria on Oct. 25. While the complete schedule is not yet final, a majority of Bloomington home games will be on weekends.A home preseason game against the Rivermen has been scheduled for Oct. 19, with general admission tickets priced at $7."The Thunder's first road contests come against the Rivermen in a back-to-back weekend set in Peoria, followed by a lengthy seven-game home stand against the Peoria Rivermen, leading directly into four solid months of back-and-forth contests with the Peoria Rivermen."

OchentaYOcho88 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Absolutely painful to look at the Blaze logos and set then look at this crap! If I were a bigger Blaze fan I'd be disgusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkAtnip Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Actually the logo for the youth club, when altered to the new team colors is pretty sharp. (except for the gradient) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbirgells Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 Yep, at least the youth logo incorporates more of the "Iron Horse" look of the "Prairie Thunder" that was the old locomotive on the Central Illinois rails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Well, at least I feel better about the new Rivermen logo now.
