Voted for the Bruins today.

Damn I can't believe the Leafs went down. That's disappointing to me.

Too Hell with the leafs. I voted on 6 different computers everyday at work to help put the leafs down. I hate the devils too. Just hate the leafs more and for a longer time.

I love Mozilla, all I have to do is close the tab and then go back to the site and low and behold I can vote again without going to a new machine.

THANK YOU FIREFOX!

I use Mozilla and I tried that, but it didn't work. It said thank you, your vote has already been counted.

I don't think it matters if your logo has

a. History

b. Recognition

If the logo sucks, the logo sucks. The Habs logo is stupid, and boring. I know it's O-6 and some kind of sacrilege to not like the Habs logo, but I don't. Same with the Oilers logo. It's stupid. It's the *WORD* Oilers in a circle with a drop of oil. Lame.

Best logos:

1. Wings

2. Hawks

3. Sharks

4. Senators

5. Thrashers

What they all have in common: Complex, sharp looking logos that don't have crazy color combinations and aren't too cartoonish.

Worst logos:

1. Sabres

2. Ducks

3. Blue Jackets

4. Predators

5. Canucks

What they all have in common: Logos that are an attempt to look cool and modern and as such disregard normal aesthetic values. Color schemes often questionably used.

Upon the realization the Sens intend to use the 'forward facing' logo as their standard logo going forward...I have to yank them from my top five. Replacing them will be the Boston Bruins at #5. The Thrashers logo moves to #4.

You need to find something better to do with your time. So you hate the Leafs or their logo? Do you hate them so much you can't be objective about something as trivial as a logo tournament? By the way, the Leafs logo is better than the Devils, although the Devils is pretty good.

The habs logo sucks? Great color scheme, simple yet elegant and the history, sheesh.

Oh well, at least the logo doesn't suck as bad as soccer in general. Boo, soccer!

If you ask me the history of a logo speaks volumes of it's quality, a good logo will naturally last longer then a bad one, unless you're Buffalo of course.

Anyways, I gave the Wings a vote today, though I do admit I am a fan of the Kings logo, just nothing tops the winged wheel. Probably my favorite logo in all of pro sports.

OH NOES!!!!11ONEELEVEN You don't like soccer. Join 98% of the rest of North America. Am I supposed to be offended or something?

I'm sorry I don't like a sideways toilet with an H in it. Just don't care for it. It has nothing to do with the history of the team, or anything other than the logo on it's own merits. I'm reading lots of comments about "Oh the *insert team here* logo is too bland/simple/unimaginative" C H is the definition of bland/simple/unimaginative. It doesn't even make sense unless you speak French\know your history.

Look, I respect the Habs as a franchise, and all of the history the team has. I don't hate the Habs. I just don't like their logo.

I don't think it has to make sense to anybody who isn't a hockey fan. I think most hockey fans know what it means. I don't find their logo to be very bland or unimaginative. If you look at logos like the Thrashers or Wild or Columbus they're pretty imaginative....but they still blow chunks. The beauty of the Habs logo is in its simplicity and elegance. Look at the Wings logo. Its not flashy at all. It's 2 freaking colors for crying out loud. Its a wheel and a wing. The wing is pretty cool but a wheel? Is there a more boring image you could put on a logo? A tire?? But the fact that that wheel means something to the location, the city, the history of that team makes it beautiful and elegant in its simplicity. I think the Habs is the same way. I surely don't see it as a toilet seat. Whatever.

PS: Almost forgot to ask but I assume you like the Wings logo? If so, why? I've given you my opinion on the logo, which I love but believe to be rather simplistic in and of itself. It certainly isn't very imaginative in a sense like somebody went outside the box to create something like the Wild's 1/2 creature, 1/2 landscape image. Based on your unimaginative and bland standards you must not like the Wings logo either.

I actually gotta agree with Vincanni on this comment:

If you ask me the history of a logo speaks volumes of it's quality, a good logo will naturally last longer then a bad one, unless you're Buffalo of course.

What he's saying is that the longevity of a logo tells you a great deal about the how people feel about it. If they didn't like it, it wouldn't have lasted the test of time.

When I look at the logo, I don't see bland. Rather I see a clssic, clean logo. It's the same way I feel about the Stick & Rink logo that Vancouver sported on their thirds last season.

Soccer still sucks and no you don't have to be offended. Why would I care what you do or feel. I don't.

how about we grow some balls and admit when a logo sucks or not. who cares how old the team is and the history. when someone doesn;t like it then they don't like it. I personally think it does look like a toilet seat with an H bomb in it.

oh i love it because its old and there is history...give me a break you big babies. it sucks to some people. get over it and stop trying to change other peoples minds about it.
