It was a gift, but I giggle like a little girl every time I wear it
It's worthy of a giggle

A pirate theme wouldn't be a bad idea, if they really wanted to get away from the current branding altogether. It ties in well enough to the concept and it has local resonance.
But... get ready for a cartoon logo. And be careful what you wish for.
I know, I know, but I'd really like a name change to Raleigh Storm.
We can keep all the logos and all the colors the same. They're fine. I like "Raleigh" because there's already a pro sports team called "Carolina" and it's not in Raleigh. It's confusing, especially when that team -- the Panthers -- also shares a team name with an NHL club. I know people think that will alienate fans from outside the immediate area, but it just won't. I'll bet 99.9% of the Washington Redskins fans come from outside of Washington, D.C. It really won't affect a thing, aside from giving the city of Raleigh a boost.
And I prefer Storm for two reasons. No. 1, we'd no longer be named after a life-threatening event that has devastated the area twice in the past 20 years, and No. 2, the single warning flag "works" now.
I know, I know, but if we're going to do anything, I think we should do this.
Yeah I'm not so sure those are good reasons to change the team name to that of a travel lacrosse team.I know, I know, but I'd really like a name change to Raleigh Storm.

For 20 years I’ve been a Canes fan and for 20 years I’ve despised our logos. I’m not alone- the Canes logo is universally and consistently rated as one of, if not THE worst in sports. Both the toilet bowl logo and the “tropical depression” alternate need to go. Love the warning flags tho and really like how the tone on tone look of the new home jerseys.
As for the colors, I realize they agreed on the red bc of NCSU but that’s an easy fix now. If state’s playing use their colors on the scoreboard, ribbons and lighting. Then use a neutral color for the seats, etc.. So many NHL teams have the red/black scheme. Why not green and blue? It’s looks great on the ice and gives a nod to the club’s history.
I say this last (bc it’s a pipe dream) but it would be cool to drop Carolina for NC. Not North Carolina but NC. It’s different, original and more appropriate. When naming the panthers Richardson actually chose Carolina for a reason. Charlotte’s close to SC and Richardson grew up in Spartanburg. He intentionally shaped the panther logo like the 2 states.
Anyway, I’m interested to see what you guys think. Should TD make any of the above changes? Will he? I haven’t heard him say anything about it. Haven’t heard anyone ask him either.

Suddenly, a new image emerges.

Look, you can buy your own Scott Darling lego man for only $10:

I think their legs should have the eye of the storm logo over their bottom kind of like all those girls with the juicy shorts. Anyone who can give me some photoshop assistance?
otoh has anyone seen anyone with an eye of the storm tramp stamp? There's got to be at least one and I am on a quest to see it before kicking the can.
That would let us do some fun stuff during the playoffs (if we could make the playoffs)So the thought of renaming/rebranding the team makes me crazy, but I suppose the one exception I could live with would be renaming them the "Raleigh Blackbeards" and having that wild picture that is on Cam's helmet be the logo and black Queen Anne's revenge silhouettes on the shoulders.
