The Lewiston MAINEiacs logo is so horrifically bad that it has crossed over into campy goodness. They must keep it. I don't see how the Colorado Rockies logo even gets in that discussion. Agreed. It's a great logo. Besides, it incorporates the Colorado state flag into it. Beauty. Lastly, there are a surprisingly large amount of people from Mississauga that has purchased our software. How big is that town?
The Columbus Blue Jackets is a shoutout to the Civil War history of the region, and it's also some kind of stinging insect. It makes a certain amount of sense, and while the logo sucks, the rest of the jersey's design is pretty snazzy. (And am I the only one who thought the Islanders' Fisherman logo looked good? If I am, I'll make my peace with that.) The Sabres' third jersey design (the two crossed swords in a dark circle on a red uni) looked stellar. This new one is bad, but not as bad as the Bruins' jersey with the big dopey bear head floating in a vat of mustard. The worst NHL logo, though, is the Tampa Bay Lightning. It looks like a sixth-grader did it in ten minutes in WordPerfect (Win3.1) while Phil Esposito stalled the press conference in the next room. It's just amateurish, and completely unbecoming of a Stanley Cup championship team. Jeezus, guys, I respect the franchise and all, but pick a new font, at least.
...but not as bad as the Bruins' jersey with the big dopey bear head floating in a vat of mustard. Bruins have retired this one (thank goodness) and replaced it with a retro '70s (?) jersey.
But that Bruins jersey was an homage to one of the early unis. Except for the bright yellow. And garishness.
This list isn't complete without the Lubbock Cotton Kings. That's just great.
Yeah, that's a pretty sweet logo. Looks exactly like the Tripod logo. Cool muppet mascot though.
The commentary on the Inferno and the Raiders was very funny, but then... I dunno. It tailed off for me. I kind of liked the IceDogs logo. It made me think of beer for some reason. Yerfatma, dude, that's the second time in this thread you found occasion to use the word "garish." Stop. Please. As it is this thread is a little too "Project Runway."
Oh, stop being so campy, BullpenPro. That's so garish of you.
Excuse me - but: We want fish sticks!" How does the Gorton's fisherman not make the list?!
Aw shit, how very declass of me.
For a brief period of time, I believe the El Paso "Buzzards" were called the "Cow Patties". The logo and their uniforms looked like they were made by Gateway.... Here's the only article I could find on it. The team's no longer there...go figure.
Am I the only person who thought of University of Santa Cruz when looking at the Sabres new unis?
Relax people. The changing of logos is strictly for marketing. People just HAVE to have that new logo. Expect to see a change from time to time. It brings in the $$$. They should change some of the team names starting with the Anaheim Mighty Ducks, Carolina Hurricanes, Columbus Bluejackets, etc.
What's wrong with the Hurricanes name?
The Macon Whoopee.
The NHL team for Colorado is The Avalanche not The Rockies & yes that logo stinks. Otherwise fun site.
while I can definately feel MrFrisby's pez dispenser assessment this is the first thing that I thought of The Los Vegas Chinchilla its absurd, fuzzy and maybe a little garish. Seriously funny thread Dr Evans thanks.
The NHL team for Colorado is The Avalanche not The Rockies... The team that you now know as the New Jersey Devils used be located in Denver, Colorado. I'll give you three guesses as to what their name was.
The Scouts?
Nope, but close. They were the Scoots. You see, they liked to eat undercooked pork. Gave 'em the scoots.
Kansas City Scouts became the Colorodo Rockies became the New Jersey Devils...
Kansas City Scouts became the Colorodo Rockies became the New Jersey Devils... And were named after Tonto's horse. At least that's what their logo would suggest.
Relax people. They should change some of the team names starting with the Anaheim Mighty Ducks,. Umm, they did change the name, they're the Anaheim Ducks now.
Heh, this bad logo business has gotten insane... if my site was hosted on my own server, it would have crashed a few hours ago. (And if I'd have known so many people would be reading the thing, I would have done a bit more digging for the bottom of the barrel.) The No. 1 most common email I'm getting is saying 'where's the Islanders' Captain Highliner jersey?'
Alas, a whole league of stinkers. Hockey + southwest does not translate into good logo's, I'm afraid.
Sweet merciful crap, those are awful. All of 'em. Except those old LA Kings jerseys - They're art.
Hey now, the CHL is how I got into hockey in the first place (and my first opportunity to see it live, which I did quite a bit back in HS). Admittedly, the first Tulsa Oilers logo sucked a *lot*, but the 95-96 one was pretty legit, if you're aware of the Golden Driller. Beats the hell out of whatever they have now.
I have a New Mexico Scorpions shirt somewhere. It's a total fashion don't.
Uh, the Jackets' original logo was not by any means bad. As for the new Buffalo logo, I don't see the point. The last one was just fine, and even looked like a buffalo. the numbers on the front, I can live with, but that so-called logo sucks.
The No. 1 most common email I'm getting is saying 'where's the Islanders' Captain Highliner jersey?' Heh -- I almost just posted that as a comment, except I was going to call it the "Old Man And The Sea" jersey. Except those old LA Kings jerseys - They're art. You're speaking my language, Weedy.
Lastly, there are a surprisingly large amount of people from Mississauga that has purchased our software. How big is that town? Mississauga is the largest suburb of Toronto and as its own city, it is actually one of the most populated cities in Canada. Some 700k people. Still a wasteland though (I know cause I spent 16 years there). Nobody cares about the Ice Dogs though, crappy logo or otherwise. This is Leaf country.
