At fan fest.

Da Gulls.

Da Gulls.

I hope so. Gulls old logo w/ Ducks colors would be fantastic.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Would be shocked if it wasn't the Gulls, but truth be told I'd prefer the San Diego Destroyers.

 

[offkilter]

I'm going with Admirals.

the Jr Gulls team here in SD changed their name to the sabres...it is the Gulls for sure.

 

[Tackla]

Gulls or go home.

So it's officially the Gulls I guess. Couple hours early but I just checked their website (http://www.sandiegoahl.com/) and it's got Gulls all over it, and you can see the logo in the background.

Here's the logo:

Not quite. No teeth in the beak, different font. But very close. It was fun listening to all the speakers try NOT calling them the Gulls prematurely.

I guess it is slightly different.

Here's a great breakdown of the changes

You can read the full article at Sportslogos(dot)net (why in gods name is the website's name getting ****** out?!?).

The one observation that I missed was the seagull shape between the L and S.

Outside of that fun little inclusion I'm a little disappointed in the overall execution. The changes to the design seem pretty arbitrary (adding a more defined eye and a hockey glove) and the overall graphic feels less polished. Whether thats due to a low quality image file being used on the site, or shoddy work on the part of the designer...we'll just have to wait for the official unveiling.

While I appreciate Anaheim's recognition of the Gulls brand and its history, I was hoping they'd put their own spin on the name and do something more like this.

That was what I was hoping for, in a way. Much better than the logo I posted on the Ducks board.

They let it slip once or twice. The word "goals" became "gulls" at one point I think.

Quite the impressive turnout!
