The 20 font is pretty obviously meant to evoke the retro Jerseys "O" logo, so I've got no problems with that part. It does seem that they've gone to simplifying anniversary logos, compared to some of the intricate designs of the past. I'd be surprised if we ever saw an anniversary patch in the future that compares to, say, the Minnesota North Stars' 25th patch. (That's not to say there weren't simple designs back then, either, though...) The beige all over the homepage of Les Sénateurs does disturb me greatly too. I can only hope they have some sense and not use "vintage white" on the unis. As far as I'm concerned, forms of beige should only be worn by teams that have it in their color scheme; i.e. the "sand" of Phoenix and the "wheat" of Minnesota. Chicago gets a pass for their tan, as it's based on the team actually wearing tan in the 1930s, and Boston gets a pass on their WC Baseball Jerseys because of the offset effect of the uniforms being primarily gold. Pretty weak to rip off a fan concept and claim it's an official release, especially when there's been no official release. The ottawa senators announced plans on Thursday to celebrate their second decade of NHL hockey during the 2011-12 season. The club also unveiled its official 20th anniversary logo which, as you can see in this side-by-side comparison (right), differs from the 20th logo we saw in March when the team gave us a sneak peek at the Heritage MLB Jerseys. Two things bug me right off the bat. The official anniversary logo, which is no better than the prototype seen in March, is awfully generic. Generic fonts, generic banner. Nothing about it furthers the Senators brand. The other thing is the beige, or vintage white as we've come to know it. It's trendy, we get it. The 86-year-old Bruins used it in their Winter Classic throwback hockey jerseys. The Rangers used it last year when they turned 85. A little less understandably, the Sabres did it at age 40. But guess what. Two years ago, the Montreal Canadiens celebrated 100 years without that dingy shade of white. So why is a team that's barely 20 breaking out the antique colors? This is not the same Ottawa Senators club that was a founding member of the NHL in 1917. There was a massive 58-year gap between that team and this one. I'm not against them celebrating their city's hockey heritage, I just think that trendy beige is silly. And it's just being overused now. I mean, look at that logo. It says 1992—2012 on what's meant to look like a white material that's been aging in the attic for a century or more. Silly. The Senators did not unveil their new Heritage Jersey at yesterday's press conference, though the design was leaked on the blog this week. The official release will come closer to the season, and the team confirmed some details about when it will be used. Wow that's a huge change for the Olympiques... Considering their current home Cheap jerseys is bright friggin orange. I don't mind a potential change though, my dad would take me to Olympiques games at the Bob when i was a kid, and they were always in black and silver, so it works for me. That 20th anniversary mark is lame, how boring will that look at centre ice... or will it be the all star logo? Im curious to see what the Sens go with. As for CTV Ottawa, well, their news and broadcasts are consistently sub-par in my opinion, im not surprised they took something off the internet and called it an unveiling, they definitely need ppl who do their homework lol.
