Yup, Senators is a terrible name. Obvious because they are the national capitol. But there is no good visualization of a Senator. Some old political hack, asleep in his chair in the Senate Chamber. :laugh: How is a Roman Senator an appropriate symbol? Seriously, how?

Instead of changing their logo, they should change the team name. IDK what to, Lumberjacks, River Pirates, Polar Bears, Rough Riders.

They would have done well with something like the Nationals or Capitals. Maybe they go full Canada and just use Ottawa Beavers.

Dallas were not as good as Colorado but the Avs goaltending imploded. Vegas was the better team but Dallas was living right in that series and the better team lost thank god. Now Dallas gets a tired and battered Lightning team. Gump Khudobin is on fire which is great to watch. Seems like an awesome character.

I am expecting the lightning to come out flying next game.

Khudobin reminds me of Arturs Irbe. Veteran team veteran coach, maybe knew how to stay out of trouble while in the bubble. Before the bubble, Stars were in our sights, they were tailing off and we were on fire. It seems like the layoff favoured the grinding teams as the playoffs wore on. A longer season might have worn them down though.

Beavers, God love them, would be an iconic nickname. Underwater specialists.

"New" Sens logo.


New Sens' jersey.

I actually really like the jersey, don't really care for the logo, but I think the jersey itself is awesome. I love the two-toned jersey schemes. The thick black red stripes with no trim looks great to me. Art is subjective, obviously, so don't mean to shit on anyone who hates it, but I, for one, dig em.

i guess that the jersey sales will speak for themselves.
the funny thing is that the original sens' jerseys - red, gold, black - were not that far off what Vegas did for their jerseys colourwise.

at least we agree the logo's awful. nothing about it makes sense. the red headdress separated by the black. the nose and mouth are so poorly drawn. the wings behind the head.
personally? i'd have added a thin gold edging around the red. dark red on black isn't a great look.
it's also inconsistent. white edging around the logo, no edging around the red stripes.

i'll give you two options that look better.

option 1: embossed logo/no white edging.

option 2: focus on the gold. have gold edging on the red piping. get rid of the white around the logo.

i actually really like this version.

That pretty much is the original Sens jersey, they just lowered the waist stripe (along with the minor changes to the logo). I preferred the 95-99 ones that had the added white stripes on the arms and waist, would have went with that one.

Here's my fix on the Sens' logo.

i moved the cockcomb flush with the helmet.
i made his nose less pointy.
i closed that ugly mouth up a bit.
i got rid of the laurel.
