How soon before we see a Jersey/ Logo rebrand?
- Thread starter KJ Dangler
- Start date
I would suggest using same font size and just paint the remaining letters of "Blue Jackets" over players' faces.

For CBJ reverse retro, I think this jersey,

with our current third jersey color scheme, could be really cool

To my eye at least, every aspect of this is unappealing.

I personally enjoy our current style. Like others have said, it's unappealing because it's doesn't represent success. Go on a run like all of Chicago/Tampa/Pitt/Boston have over the last 5,10,15 years would change that. What this team really needs is a 20+ year run like TTUN did.
Why not just have colors reversely in that old 3rd jersey, black background with red/blue/white sleeves?

That would be fine too. I just don’t want red as the main color for the BLUE jackets.

They’re correct. The logo does suck. The cannon would put us at least middle of the pack.

I don’t know who this guy is but the fact he didn’t know that it’s the state flag as the logo shows he did no research and was just looking to kill a half hour of time. Meaningless in my eyes
IMO I couldn't care less what outsiders think of our logo and brand. As someone who had to wear the old logo growing up while playing, I absolutely HATED the old logo. And I've learned to love our current gettup.
Like others and myself have said, that perception of our logo and brand changes when we start winning. Until then nobody will respect the logo, brand or city.

If you have to research a logo .. you’ve failed bud… bottom line, and to be honest there’s nothing intriguing that would make someone research
When your logo requires people to know about and care about a generic state flag, you are already fighting an uphill battle.

If I’m going to go through the effort of ranking logos 1-32 then yeah I’d do some research unless I’m just going for “yeah it looks cool bro.”

As opposed to awesome logos like Seattles which is a generic S that looks like an octopus.
It’s really not that deep.
He also comments on the cannon.

He’s not wrong . Have to think at some point the jackets right this wrong, although they have been pretty bad with their marketing

The team is called the Blue Jackets because Ohio was a major producer of union supplies and soldiers for the civil war, meaning the brand needs to represent Ohio just as much as it does the civil war.
I really don't care if others need to research it to know that, most Ohioans probably don't even know that, but it's a cool piece of history nonetheless.

see prior statements re: "Tampa Bay is terrible but Toronto is awesome."

Generic? It's the most uniquely shaped flag in the country. And it came about based off of cavalry flags used during the Civil War, so it's doubly-appropriate.
Remove "generic" from my comment and the rest stands. But in any case, the one unique thing about it is not evident in the logo.

Just post better
Kudos to some no-name dude for ginning up the fans in late summer I guess.
The Columbus team is neither the Stars or the Cannons. Neither logo does what it seems some people want it to do.
And yet, since cars are made all over the country/world nowadays, it might require research on the part of some folks to know why the Red Wings have a wheel in their logo.
Or why the Montreal Canadiens have an H in their logo. Or why the Bruins have those spokey things. And is the Canes’ logo really obvious to everyone? And why does a team named after a bird have a Native American person for a logo?
