See I actually liked the B Devil concept logo. The team while in Albany could have been, and should have been the River Rats. The B Devil logo looked better then the previous letter brands IMO. The B Devil at least didn't look so cartoonist. Minor league us okay but it's semi pro at best, the FHL has some better logos. The local group in Binghamton came up with this, the NJ Devils I am sure had to just approve it or not.

Didn't know that, although it makes sense given that they're running the show there. Thanks.

I'm not saying I didn't like the concept logo, just that I like these better. The thing with the horned B, like the horned A and U before it, is that while it was very clean and classic-feeling, it lacked creativity as it was derivative of the NJ Devils logo. The Lowell Devils tried to counter this by adding a devil to the logo, and it didn't work. They'd have been better served by simply putting the horned L over a circle like the NJ and U before them. Derivative, but clean (and would've looked better on the jerseys, especially the red one).
At any rate, this Binghamton set is... not bad. I suppose I can't criticize much because I don't know what I would have done better. It's a solid effort, but it feels like it's lacking something, I just can't figure out what.
Although I admire some creativity in logo design which sets it apart from the parent club I have always thought the logos in Binghamton by far have been awful. The best logos to come out of any team in Binghamton IMO are the Broome Dusters. Another one I think makes a great logo was the old Binghamton Whalers. The Dusters were a club sporting an original logo of their own, while the B-Whaler just was simple and it just worked. Rangers, BC Icemen, Senators, and now the Devils IMO are pretty bland with no appeal. I expected better from the local group, lost opportunity.

The guy who designed the Binghamton Devils previously did work for the New Jersey team. Probably not the same guy behind the Albany and other logos.

It's the robot devil from Futurama lol
OMG lol that is so freaking funny! That's why I said Devil Bot, the silver full face helmet and the horns. I thought the B-Devil concept logo just gave it a weighty professional look to it. The logo they chose is so semi pro at best. The B-Devil logo looked pretty good considering the Devils letter logos in Utica, Lowell, and Albany were awful with no creativity.

It's minor league hockey, who wants a boring Letter logo?
Give me this new logo and others like the Crunch.

Minor league hockey needs their own identity as parent teams come and go....... As every agreement has an out clause...... Makes no sense to have the same name as the current parent team does it?????
The local team should have their own name................
No contradictions whatsoever. Do you know what contradiction means? I said the Devils previous letter logos (Utica, Lowell, then Albany, even in NJ) have all sucked. The only one I liked was the concept logo floating around online. Its pretty simple to understand.

You defended the Devils doing the stupid A-Devils letter logo while in Albany. The River Rats name and logo in Albany should have been a no brainer. Your so blinded by red I guess it didn't matter what Albany preferred???? Paint the town red philosophy only goes so far. Whatever the case the only ones that have to like it are the Southern Tier fans. With hockey out of Elmira for next season, fresh new team, Binghamton should do okay next season. Elmira's departure will help, just as Albany's AHL departure should help the ECHL Thunder.

It's a contradiction because the B was the exact same thing as its predecessors: a red letter with horns and a tail stuck on it. What was so special about the B that earned your praise while the others only received scorn? Serious question; I truly don't understand your thought process here.

These are not a true statements. The AHL team owned by the NHL club do not have parent clubs come and go. And that is now a lot of the teams. And the only "out clause" in those relationships is selling the franchise.

You accuse me of making a false statement??????
AHL teams that have local ownership have parent teams that come and go, and those agreements do have out clauses, no matter what you say??????
Another person I have to "educate" on my post. First, these are opinions of mine based on what I like. Like your posts or Devils Dominion's posts we are not talking about gospel. I "personally" do not like the previous lackluster letter logos. The concept letter B-Devils logo I liked. I thought it was done with good graphics, good colors, good curves, simple as that. Because I said I don't like the previous letter logos, I thought the "B" was nicer looking. Boston Bruins have a simple letter logo IMO that works to.

Now you're just being contrary for the sake of being contrary. I don't have the patience to deal with this tomfoolery, so I'll leave you to your delusions that there's any sort of difference between the proposed red horned letter logo and the actual
red horned letter logos that came before it.
I don't like the Devil Bot logo, I did like the "concept" B Devil logo, it's just that simple, there is no science behind it or no grand delusions. It's like looking at a woman, out of five there may be two or three you find attractive lol.

Every agreement does not have an out clause as those that own their AHL have an agreement and many of those will not have an out clause. Minor league hockey does not need their own identity if they are owned by their NHL team and those parent teams do not come and go so your making blanket statements makes them false. Qualify the statement sand they would be true.
Did the Senators not own their AHL franchise when in Binghamton? I read that they just purchased the franchise. I was under the impression the Send owned the team and decided to relocate. If the local people in Binghamton owned the franchise and they were doing ok financial wise then why sell to the Senators? They must have paid a pretty penny to the Binghamton group, enough so as to allow the Binghamton group to make the deal with the Devils. The big question though is why sell? You could have just affiliated with the Devils or perhaps Vegas. Binghamton must have direct flights to Vegas, Albany does.

The Binghamton Senators were locally-owned from their inception in 2002 until they were sold to Ottawa earlier this year.
With Ottawa wanting to move the team north of the border, I'm sure they paid a premium to obtain the franchise. No idea why the local group wanted to sell, but I have a feeling they saw the successful model that was being used in Utica, and thought it made sense for them here as well. NJ really wanted to be here, and didn't seem inclined to sell their franchise, so it works for both parties.
Direct flights from Binghamton to Vegas? Hahahahahahahahaha, that's a good one. The only direct flights from Binghamton are to Detroit. Its a regional airport, with only Delta operating currently.
