edit:

Did a bit of a color correction on the snapchat version, as the original was washed out. I'm thinking it's more like this:

That NYR logo is pretty heinous

That NYR logo is pretty heinous

Seriously. What is that supposed to evoke?

 

[kingsholygrail]

I'm yawning thinking about this match up.

 

[Samkow]

It's a Buffalo home game, Rangers are probably just making a logo because they have to.

 

[tarheelhockey]

On a positive note, I like the WC logo. A little busy but at least it's not ugly.

 

[ColdSteel2]

That NYR logo is ******* ugly. It's like the designer forgot about the deadline and then his outlook notification popped up, "Meeting to discuss potential logo in 15 minutes" and hastily put something together, sweating bullets as the bosses looked it over and then nearly burst out in laughter when they said it was perfect.

This is the fakest, quasi football-ish, faux heritage event ever...

 

[Sol]

Do people still care about the winter classic?

Blog on the making of the Winter Classic logo if anyone is interested.

 

[Inkling]

Is there anything genuine about the New York logo? I have seen a lot of old jerseys but I don't remember that logo.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

as a Rangers fan, I can agree that the logo is garbage

Really hope that isn't the final logo

 

[DowntownBooster]

On a positive note, I like the WC logo. A little busy but at least it's not ugly.

I agree. I actually think it looks sharp.

 

[JaeTM]

That can't be the NYR logo. It can't be...

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

The Rangers logo reminds me of something you would see on a fire truck? Weird.
I noticed the "NY" at the bottom of the Sabres (awesome) logo, is that new? I don't remember even seeing that nomenclature there before.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

I like the actual Winter Classic logo.

New York's on the other hand....good God.

A 4 year old in MS-Paint could have done a better job.

Do people still care about the winter classic?

I hate posts like this, the WC is apart of hockey and is literally just hockey played outside. It's essentially asking do people still care about hockey?

 

[Machinehead]

Rangers crossed the line between classic and boring.

And the Sabres...made the same logo with "NY" at the bottom.

Could have been better.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

The Winter Classic logo is almost as good as the Rangers' logo is bad.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Rangers should just bring back the Lady Liberty jerseys for this.

 

[NeverForget06]

Rangers should just bring back the Lady Liberty jerseys for this.

Agreed, I love those. One day I'll get my hands on one with Jagr on the back

 

[Black and Gold 11]

That Buffalo logo with just the animal and the word "sabres" looks pretty good but NYR tried to be too modern

 

[R3DDRAG0N]

Do people still care about the winter classic?

Nope about 5% of fans still haven't realized that this event has lost its luster. The NHL has beaten this horse into mush....no idea why these events have any merit anymore whatsoever. They are boring as ****, but they make the NHL money...sooo.....

Oh yes, the best is actually being at the game where you're cold, can't see the game and resort to talking to pass the time....

I think the general complaint is that the gimmick is tired and the games are rarely any more interesting to watch than any other regular season game. It's not that the game is UNINTERESTING, it's that all the marketing pomp and circumstance around a regular season game is silly.

why dont the rangers use these games as opportunities to bring back the liberty logo from the the 90s early 2000's. 20 year old logo is close enough to be classic
