CJR Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 That would explain why they registered DetroitGladiators.com at the last minute (last Friday). Eh, it could be worse. Thank Gog that it's not "Demons".As far as the logo... Eh, they had to get the stupid "It's minor-league hockey, we better put a hockey stick in there just so everyone knows what sport we play" bit in there but it's not as bad as it could be. I like the wordmark. Black, white and grey/silver leave a lot of options for the jerseys if they add another color.

shiznit1083 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 It's not terrible. I think they put the hockey stick in there because they already used a sword in the wordmark.The only thing that really bugs me is the way the arm looks. The way it was executed, it doesn't look like a natural arm motion or position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfannova Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I like it. It kinda looks like the gladiator put down his sword, and picked up the hockey stick. Very good, in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ez Street Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I think the logo is ok. Not EXCITED about it or anything. I like the name a whole lot more than DEMONS. Cougars could have been so sweet though. @DavidStreeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroseed Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Hey, look, compared to the ABA, that thing looks great. I actually like it, though the shield is a bit awkward. Before I finally figured out what it was, it looked like he was riding in on a football or something at first. Then I thought... okay, a boat? Then I saw that it was a shield... and I felt really dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Well, this turned out FAR better than I thought it would. First and foremost, they don't go with the Detroit Demons identity. Second, they actually unveiled a solid looking logo. Sure, both the arm and shield could be tweaked, but all in all a pretty impressive looking logo.Hopefully, the rest of the WHA takes note.Brian in Boston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfannova Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Is it just me or does the shield seem upside down, if it is a European shield? And If it's a Roman gladiator, shouldn't he have a rectangular shield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesCraven Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Meh. Looks like a detroit Titans hockey logo. "I better go take a long walk off a short pier or something."Some people on this bolard have told me to do just that.My "Ron Mexico" alias is "Jon Tobago".
