Foppa 11-29-2004, 06:17 AM Freakin' hilarious. Funniest thing I've seen or read in a long time...I gotta agree, th guys descriptions make it all the better.
That 60's New Jersey logo takes the cake...Apparently New Jersey had some long-standing legend about a roaming beast that terrorized the state. Apparently half of its body was shaped like New Jersey and it could hold onto hockey sticks with just its fingertips.
Oh that LA Blades dude with the razor head is pretty tight too :)

Some of those descriptions are stupid, you can say alot of the same things for the NHL teams.
Columbus - made up a freakin bug
Flyers - what really is their logo? the letter P with wings?
Anyways...i like the hartford wolfpack logo, the only thing that Hartford needs to explain is the submarine thing...was there a submarine from there that they called the wolf? no clue.

There is a large submarine base on the Thames River in southeastern Connecticut, as well as the shipyard that built them, including the Seawolf class.

In WWII, Nazi submarines roamed the northern Atlantic sinking Allied troop and supply ships in packs, and were nicknamed wolfpacks because of the similarity in their hunting styles and those of wolves.
Leave it to the Rangers to name a team after Nazis

Columbus - made up a freakin bug
Yeah...the "Stinger" thing in Columbus was pretty weak. They actually seemed to come up with the bug before they had fully thought out the whole "Blue Jacket" team name deal.
Personally, I think the bug was designed to be popular with kids and be a big merchandise seller, like the Mighty Ducks bit.
In all fairness, though, the team logo has always been the "CBJ" crest. "Stinger" was simply a mascot and shoulder patch (which, thankfully, has quietly been phased out).

It's a whale, done in a similar style to the art of the natives of the pacific northwest. It also forms the shape of a 'C' (for Canucks). The whale is jumping out of water, or breaking through ice or something. I'm not really sure.

I wasnt really defending the logo or anything. It just ticked me off that the dude didn't know about the famous Okanagan lake monster (Hell, even Final Fantasy has heard of the Ogopogo. They named a character after it.). I think that they should have made the logo look different as well. Or atleast chance the name. "Rockets" is bloody lame anyhow.

If I didn't know that the team was called the Lancers, I would assume that the hockey stick was part of the stick/puck geaphic and not part of the team name.

Well, the overall shape is that of a "g" for Goaldiggers. The circle represents a puck, and the negative form in white, represents a stick.
On another level, the stick could be viewed as a shovel. The gold circle is being "dug". When a stick is a shovel and you "dig" a puck. Hopefully into the net for a "goal". So in the end you have Goaldiggers.
That’s what I think its suppose to be.

Yes that was a particularly awful logo however I believe the one that Vancouver came out with later gave me small epileptic seizures , you know the multi-colored vvvvvv. God I can't believe how many times I messed with the color, contrast,tuning dial antennae just after that logo messed up the entire balace of the color scale. I think it was the 82-83 jerseys?

It's facing the wrong way for it to be a G unless it supposed to be a lower-case g. When I look at it, a see a face in profile, with the yellow circle as an eye and the white part as a big smiling mouth.

Portland Buckaroos (http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/logos/logos.cgi?logo_file=whl/portland_buckaroos_1969.gif) Because there's nothing as feared and admired as a rodeo clown.
Thats why Portland has no NHL team yet...

I'm think of using that for my avatar. :lol I'm try to work out who is going to be the horse and cowbow, right now it looks like Bettman is a horse and Goodenow just got bucked.
bmoak 12-16-2004, 06:39 AM Hey! That's a great logo.
And so is that one. Now folks are just being picky.
Jackalopes: certainly a unique name, but the design is the antithsis of a jackalope. The jackalopes of folklore, like Brer Rabbit (and Bugs Bunny), rely on wisdom and guile, not muscle. A surly, juiced-up Jackalope brandishing a hockey stick is just wrong as a design.
Mammoths: Well if hockey-playing mammoths float your boat...I just found it a ridiculous example of a hocey-playing mascot. Plus the colors and lettering are off.

Now, now. The Portland Winter Hawks have a perfectly good logo. Of course, it's the Chicago Blackhawks' logo, but it's a start....

And this was when the IHL was trying to establish itself as a big-time minor league to rival the NHL! I'm surprised the IHL BOG didn't take the Cincy owner to an isolated location and work him over with nightsticks until he agreed to change his bush-league logo.
Just so many bad elements on this one. Notice the eyebrows on the goalie mask?
Teezax 12-16-2004, 08:34 AM Some of those descriptions are stupid, you can say alot of the same things for the NHL teams.
Columbus - made up a freakin bug
Flyers - what really is their logo? the letter P with wings?
Anyways...i like the hartford wolfpack logo, the only thing that Hartford needs to explain is the submarine thing...was there a submarine from there that they called the wolf? no clue.
The Flyers simplicity in their logo is what makes it work, it's one of the nicest in the league. It's a P with wings and a puck. Dont mock it when it's obvious your in the minority and your opinion doesnt count right now.
