Taro T Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 4 hours ago, N S said: It was chronic knee issues that prematurely ended the career of arguably the best player in the history of the NHL. Scary, indeed. True. But surgical techniques today are light years ahead of where they were when Orr played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 If I'm from Hartford, I'm pissed. The jerseys are great and all, but it just feels so weird to wear the uniform of a city you abandoned. The new owner has also pitched the idea of playing a preseason game up there, which may just be the worst idea of all time. The people would chase them out of the building. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josie Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 I'll take this moment to pop in a piece o' art history- some doodles leading to a super clean, concise, and in my opinion, great, logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVE IT SO MUCH i love logos that make you go "oh well holy crap those clever devils" they're SO hard to come up with. It's like the arrow in the FedEx logo. Ooh that sneaky negative space. I don't think I knew about the H until I found that, either. I'm glad they did the whale tail over the trident. Top left reminds me of the Hamburg Brewing Co logo.

pi2000 Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Love the Whale... I remember watching a Sabres/Whalers game as a kid, probably early 80's and the Whalers just pounded Buffalo... oh man, this song just over and over and over... what a time to be alive!

Sabres Fan in NS Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 I demand that the Canes move back to Hartford immediately. Where that ever to happen The Whale would re-become my second team that very same instant. LOVE THE WHALE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the Whale should never been pulled out of Insurance Town, really not a fan of giving the Bruins & Rags extra home games each season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) The Whalers logo is the best in the sport but it just doesn’t exist anymore. I find this to be a little weird. I’ve only ever seen highlights and pictures and I’ll only ever see pictures and highlights so it won’t be enough to fill that hole.

Doohickie Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 I see the current Yotes logo as comparable to the Buffaslug. A total insult to the original logo. But I realize a lot of people like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Buffalo Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 You can still get Whale sweater, a guy in Danbury CT owns the rights and has fielded a minor league team though I think it is defunct now. He gets residuals from NHL use of logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
