Winnipeg Naming Discussion pt. 2

[Positive]

Hmm, from that article:

Scott Brown, director of corporate communications for True North, wouldn't confirm or deny Chipman spoke to Hall. As much as the new team's owners appreciate the input from fans, he said, the NHL has a company that designs logos for its franchises."We've received more than 250 or 300 logos from the public," he said

For some reason I thought each team's owners privately commission a design. If the NHL usually goes with the same company, I would guess the design of the logo will be similar to the newer logos. Animals tend to be 'flat', stylized and more symbolic, as opposed to cartoon representations, etc. Thrashers, Blue Jackets, Wild, Ducks...

I'm also guessing that the NHL has to approve the design. if that is the case that means there aren't any secret warehouses full of merchandise out there.

If TNSE doesn't even have a team name for this design company of the NHL...then I would also guess that we won't see a logo for weeks, perhaps months.

How about Red River Rebels since Winnipeg is the site of the Red River Rebellion?

Maybe why Red River College already took that as the name for their teams.

This from today's Winnipeg Free Press;

British designer makes pitch for revamped Jets logo

I like the color scheme, but the logo kinda looks like a silouhette of someone giving the middle fingers.

And a huge maple leafs on your chest? It's already been done.

this color scheme seems to be way too similar to the Nashville Predators.

this one though is by far the best. Pretty much everything on that page is pure garbage.

Wouldnt the Leafs take issue with another team having a large maple leaf that prominent on the front of the jersey like that?

Meh, three American teams prominently focus stars in their logo/scheme. If enough changes it's fair game.


I still don't like the maple leaf filled with syringes look, though.

Looks like the Philadelphia eagles logo to me.

its true, but they could change the logo a little and keep the basic design.

Has to be the Jets

 

[Moobles]

Not by real Vancouver fans though, only a small minority

no, but it might get lit on fire

Dunno if it's been mentioned, but how about the Manitoba or Winnipeg Rebels after Louis Riel?

Please no. That's just asking for racial slurs or problems concerning history over Louis Riel.
