Ranking the Canadian team logo’s: How does the Jets new logo stake up against the other 6? We want your thoughts in the comments.

Winnipeg Free Press: Cyber-crank posts fake uni. I’m surprised its just a fake photo and not an actual fake replica, given that counterfeiters generally don’t take long to crank out a new product.

Toronto Sun: Cherry loves new Jets logo. In probably the least surprising logo reaction stories, HNIC Coach’s Corner Don Cherry is a huge fan of the Jets new logo. Don has supported the return of the Jets since they first left 15 years ago.

Around the NHL:

Edmonton Journal: Have the Oilers adequately replaced all that Dustin Penner brought to the line-up? Sounds like Penner brought the intangibles which don’t show up on a stat sheet, which won’t be easy to replace.

MSNBC: New Pens winger Steve Sullivan “This could be my best year yet”. Luckily for him he’s in a situation where he could be playing with some of the best players in the NHL.

ESPN: Stars’ Brenden Dillon a fast-rising prospect. Story as old as the NHL draft itself, player passed over because he’s “too small” who later develops and could become a star for the Stars.

1. Their are dozens of jersey concepts out there already. The ones that Brown denied are my favorite of the ones I’ve seen.

   Jets logo compared to the rest? History aside, I would say the jets logo is top 2 among the Canadian logos.

2. The other 1 being………

   If you had to rank from 1 to 6 Tim, what would that look like?

3. Honestly, I would only really put the Nucks logo in the conversation and more so because I like this one:

   Completely ignoring the history,

   Nucks and Jets would be top 2.

   Montreal would be third.

   Oilers and Flames would follow.

   Toronto and Ottawa would be at the bottom.

4. I think the log would be far better if they included “Winnipeg” written inside the bottom of thr roundel. It’s just missing something.

5. If i had to rank the current logos, id have to say:
   Leafs
   Habs
   Jets
   Flames
   Oilers
   Canucks
   Sens
   The ones that got to top 2 spots did so because they are just so classic, and unchanged for so long. Which is why the Jets took third, because it looks timeless. Ottawa is just to over the top. Its cartoon-ish. Sorry Sens fans, no hate!

6. I tried to ignore the history and look at is as what is most visually appealing to me if we were starting over.

7. OK, lets try again then:
   Flames
   Jets
   Canucks
   Habs
   Oilers
   Leafs
   Sens

8. Yeah I have seen some doctored versions with writing in the roundel that looked pretty nice, but I think it stands up pretty well as it.

   Seeing them side by side pretty much kill what people were saying about the new logo looking like a Leafs logo.It has more in common with this one: http://www.ctaa.ca/logos/mLogo.jpg

9. Ignoring hockey history – just based on the logo:

   1. Jets
   2. Oilers
   3. Senators
   4. Flames
   5. Maple Leafs
   6. Canucks
   7. Canadians

10. Based on logo, ignoring hockey history, and looking at what the logo communicates clearly and in a stylised way:

    1. Vancouver
    2. Calgary
    3. Winnipeg
    4. Edmonton
    5. Toronto
    6. Montreal
    7. Ottawa

11. The Canuck is a breed of Pacific shark/killer whale?

12. Haha, no. But the artwork mimics Haida art, both on the west coast.
    Still trying to figure out wth a Canuck is…

13. Maybe a W instead of the maple leaf would have made it a little distinctive. Nucks and sens would be the only two logos I don’t really care for. THis is pretty close to how I feel:

    Leafs
    Habs
    Jets
    Oilers
    Flames
    Canucks
    Sens

14. The only reason the Leafs’ crest gets a pass is because of a tradition. If it was introduced today it would be made fun of like crazy. It’s quite dull. However, it’s part of hockey history/tradition and must stay.

    Okay, in my opinion, here’s my rankings:

    Habs: kinda looks like a toilet seat, but no crest has as much history. Plus, it ain’t bad.
    Calgary: Even though they stole it from Atlanta, the Flames allows for great visuals (although the Flaming A of the original franchise looked better).
    Winnipeg: Most symetrical and loaded with meaning. Plus, it ain’t bad. Not the best in the league but nowhere near the worst.
    Sens: Current version way better than the original Trojan condom crest.
    Canucks: Love the uniforms, luke warm on the logo. Stick with the Killer Whale, but don’t have it bursting through a “C”… looks silly. Also, looks bad in white against their coloured uniforms.
    Toronto: See my original comment.
    Edmonton: Hey, it’s just a drip with a very 1970’s style font. I feel like giving that logo a kleenex… it reminds me of a runny nose!

15. Completely putting aside my own team allegiances, ignoring both history AND knowledge of the uniforms, judging SOLELY on the primary logos, my rankings go:

    1. Jets
    2. Oilers
    3. Flames
    4. Canucks
    5. Leafs
    6. Habs
    7. Sens

16. Jets, Leafs, Oilers, Flames, Canucks, Sens and Habs

17. jet fans = fascist war mongers
