Habs change to single logo design at center ice

[donghabs98]

This is all fine, but when do they reveal the hot-dogs?!?

I wanna know if they will change the goal song. For all the complaints of Allez Montreal it was at least original, whatever techno nonsense they had last season was generic, devoid of character and made we want to cheer against scoring. It was pretty reflective of last season's team.

Horrible, but it's all good, the food will be better

It cuts your logo in half, and in a bit of an awkward way. It's pretty bad. Anyways, like it or not...why even do that? Not a big deal regardless, just pointless.
Change for the sake of Change should definitely be the new motto of this organization.

As for the word play...Are they trolling their own fans? "Hey guys.....we made big big changes down the middle for this year...ready?? Ready?!?!?...We moved our logo! hhihihiihihi Got you!"
Is the one in charge here a teenage Leafs fan? The hell is wrong with this club..

Molson promised fans they would see big changes on the ice come next season. Too bad for us rather than doing the thing a real owner should do which is take charge and find people to do the changes, Molson decided to stick to fall changes.

The single logo looks great imo.

 

[Gravity]

That's the problem with this franchise. They no longer want to lead, they just want to be one of the crowd.

My God THIS. This is what I've noticed of MB, he's a follower not a leader. When he gets eliminated by a size team he adds size, when he gets eliminated by a speed team he adds speed. Just following what the previous champ did.

If we were switching from this logo to the old one instead, I guarantee the same people would be outraged.

This was one of the prophetic signs. ALL HAIL KING BELIAL, LET THE CHOSEN ONE LIFT THE CUP OVER HIS ANOINTED HEAD.

Change for the sake of change is never a good reason to change anything. It smacks of desperation and a desire to distract people from more important issues. "We still have no #1 center but hey, check out that new, bigger center ice logo!" It ranks right up there with "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain."

And if they're doing it merely because all the other teams are doing it then it's an even worse reason because this team should never be following the pack; it should be leading it.

Everything is happening. Accept Belial into your heart as your king and guide! The cup shall return!

 

[Laurentide]

One big logo is better.

Now, this could simply be because that's how it has been for the Leafs for pretty much my entire life.

Then you're not very old. The logo at Maple Leaf Gardens was nothing more than a small maple leaf around the center ice face-off dot.

Yet another example of taking away something that was unique and original and replacing it with something generic that everyone else is using. Literally any sports team in the world can play U2's "Vertigo" after a goal is scored (and many still do) Why the Habs decided to use it is anyone's guess. I'm not a fan of the pequistes who comprise Loco Locass but at least the "Allez Montreal" ditty was unique to Montreal. Personally, the one I liked best was this one:



But there's another more traditional goal song that they seem to have forgotten about entirely, the old French Canadian folk song, "Les Canadiens Sont La"

 

[LyricalLyricist]

If there wasn’t a post ranting about it I wouldn’t have noticed. I would’ve just assumed I remembered wrong.

It’s not a big deal and I honestly don’t care.

It looks fine either way.

Belial & Southern Hab as Mary Joseph, the cup is born!

Eklund is building his ark!

 

[CH4]

Don't fix what ain't broken.

and there are many broken parts to fix. the goal song being one of them. I Wonder how they come up with this in a meeting to get things better...

anyway this year I'm not spending my bi-annual 1000$+ to go to the bell center. stupid management that thinks their fans are as stupid as they are.

 

[JianYang]

I also liked the double logo better. This concept looks like it belongs in a practice facility or something.

Some logos work as a single. For me, the ch is not one of them

The point.





Your head.

I just watched this video yesterday and that song sounds so much better. Watching the line-up back then makes me feel so nostalgic... especially if you compare it with the upcoming one.

Exactly.

When the NHL said they had to have the red line all the way across the ice the went to 2 small logos on either side of the red line.

But I kinda see what you mean. I'm 51 and remember what would now be called a medium sized logo but looking at historical photos, the center ice logo was at one time pretty small.
But there was only one of them.

 

[peate]

Why is there still a red line exactly?

How do you make an icing call without it?

 

[Habaneros]

I wonder who came up with this brilliant idea, they can't even get this right. The red line totally bisects the logo and disfigures it.

The red line should stop at the edges of both side of the logo...just like in the KHL....

Why the NHL runs the red line directly overtop of the logos?...I dunno....lol..like taking a nice piece of art and painting a line right down the middle...

 

[SquiddFX]

I don't really care about 1 logo or 2 logos but why didn't the put the logo the other way and cut the logo down the middle? That's just me.

 

[TRG]

The H means hockey. So it's now like the team on the ice. It disfigures Hockey.

Exactly! Well said. Maybe I'm overreacting but I love that logo it's sacred to alot of people. Putting a line down the middle of it seems wrong somehow.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Im going to say i love because even if I dont find it aesthetically pleasing because it makes the logo disjointed looking and has nothing to do with the team or management, DramaticGloveSave will repeat, for the 100th time how we just hate Bergy, we blame him for this, criticise everything because of this
