NESN NESN explains why the logo was changed

[HuskyBruinPride]

I hate to be the one to point it out, but anyone notice the shape of this poll?

 

[Fenway]

Only one problem Brian, the ticket logo was NOT introduced in 1986

@Fenway

For the love of God, please please PLEASE make the dopes at NESN get rid of the ticker.

 

[Fenway]

My gut feeling is the ticket logo was introduced around 1990 - certainly was not 1986 as NESN claims in the press kit

 

[TwineTickler]

Doesn't bother me one bit

That ship has sailed - as long as ESPN ( and other networks ) use a ticker so will NESN.

My reply to this last night.

BRUINS GDT - GAME #1 - OPENING NIGHT IN DALLAS - SECOND PERIOD

The new Bruins intro is a ripoff from another team - waving to @BMC

New Bruins


That other team
​

to be fair, not sure how old the Habs look is for this, NESN has used an extremely similar intro many moons ago...

But why.

It's 2019. No one at home, in a bar, wherever is going to wait for the ticker to scroll to check a score of a game.

It's one thing if they used it for real time stats exclusively, but to use it for scores is archaic.

ESPN is different, because it's not a regional network. People watching ESPN are either fans of whatever teams are on, or are random sports guy #1 watching MNF or a random college game.

I attended the 20K game in 1986(when I was an MIT freshman and rotisserie baseball was a big deal in out frat house). Later on, I went to a card show in New Hampshire and got my ticket signed by Clemens himself.

Kinda cool even if a slight ripoff of the Habs opening.

It’s ok Emerson, I don’t give a shit about your new logo.

 

[TP]

I don't like it, but I am not going to lose sleep over it.

Well the logo does represent a mattress company so you are all set

 

[BruinsFan37]

It's just why...

Sure paper tickets aren't that common anymore, but brand identity matters, and the NESN "ticket" logo was borderline iconic at this point...

I mean, when was the last time you used a 3.5" disk (if ever). That's still the "save" icon for a lot of programs.

 

[Ozamataz Buckshank]

It’s ok Emerson, I don’t give a **** about your new logo.

while it's nice they can at least have a sense of humor about it, that guy is not funny at all.

 

[Paddington]

It's the Nescafe logo!

YES!!! It reminded me of something and I couldn't put my finger on it. Thank you haha.

Edit: Nespresso

 

[HockeyMomx2]

It looks like a news logo not sports. Hate it. Too damn stuffy and pretentious.

 

[dabid]

I cant remember the last time I watched NESN for something that wasn't a game telecast. The first episode of Behind the B maybe??? They should just show SlapChop infomercials all the time outside of game telecasts to be honest.

The new NESN logo reminds me of most modern Flat UI designs: monochrome and boring.
