Hockey Free Agent Signings

WileE

That is the first I heard of that. DAMMIT!!! I wanted to get a sharks jersey too.

Any word on what it is changing to?

Jump

The logo will be revealed on their website (one of the first team websites launched online by the way) on the 24th. The Jersey will be towards the season more.

And Tex, that is from an actual sales research report that was based worldwide that I read last year. And of course I will never find it again. They rake in more from logo sales than tickets I believe. It was a cumulative figure since they were one of the first teams to come out with teal colors and many bought them just for that back in the day.

Jump

Well, here it is. I'm going to have to look at it for awhile.

Jump

They haven't changed the website yet. I guess this is a mock up one.

San Jose Sharks - The Official Web Site

That is a horrible logo. Why to the good ones change for the worse??

Jump

Orange is an "IN" color right now. Maybe they figured it would be good to sneak a little in.

Jump

Here you go WileE, all the new logos and crests in a nice display.

meh. While it isn't horrible, their original logo was great.

The freekin' Pens did this too. They had the skating penguin, which was really cool. They they went to that modern art crap. Fortunately, they came to their senses (after MUCH public outcry) and changed it back.

Jump

Well. if you really look at it long enough it will become aparent that it's the same logo with a mild color change. The shark looks more fierce now. And of course the orange will sell as well. It's all about marketing to the masses.

The more I see it the more I like it. We'll see if it grows on me and if it sells.

Jump

Here is a nice video that gives their perspective and that of the artist who is also the original artist.

Back to the topic. The Sharks have made no free agent acquisitions.

WileE

But they havn't lost Marleau yet, so that is good.

I think it will stay somewhat quiet until we come out of arbitration and see who gets what deals. Then there will be another frenzy I think.
