I don't want the state to represent the team. The whole "Jersey" thing is stupid. Put the DEVILS logo on the front. We're the DEVILS. A huge amount of people in the state cheer for NY or PHL teams anyway.... Can anyone give me a TL;DR of the twitter reactions? I don't have a twitter and refuse to get one, but I want to know what people are saying. I mean I get trying to pursue a marketing angle of NJ pride, but this jersey is over the top. Not to mention folks like you aren’t even in NJ. We have fans from NYC, as well. Why alienate them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a total hypocrite. I can definitely help myself, heh heh. The more I think about it...since this Jersey jersey is going for a much oldern-day look...I wouldn't mind a more "primitive" version of the Devils' current crest on the front...one that just has an older 40-50s feel to it, but is still recognizable...one that would look like it had to evolve into what it became in the 80s. Maybe the whole logo could be skinnier? Some of the edges less straight? I would love to see a fan rendering of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think "Jersey's team" is a good slogan, I'd just rather see "New Jersey" on the front than just "Jersey" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much better optics-wise for them to poke at themselves for this rather than doubling-down on the PR speak and pretending this is universally loved.

Cause I know I am. Yup. That is the most concerning thing of it all. This organization is completely tone deaf. The rumor at the time was that they toyed with changing the logo when Adidas took over the uniform package for the league, and they were talked out of it by the the NHL. These guys/girls are clueless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NHL apparently told them that they need to consider our fanbase like an original 6 franchise and that changing the logo would not go over well. Can you imagine if they ignored the league and went with that cartoon character logo? 10 minutes ago, DevsMan84 said: That would be 100x better than what they rolled out.

But with that logo, I definitely don't hate it anymore. I probably still would've bought one of the above, strictly as it appears...the logo and numbers would've tied together nicely. Makes me realize how much that "Jersey" part is killing the whole thing. Edited November 23, 2021 by Colorado Rockies 1976 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 3 hours ago, Chimaira_Devil_#9 said: My main ire is the logo. It's so fvcking boring. Could they have not just made the too of the J look like the J from the main logo and added a devils tail on the end of the Y. @SterioDesign can you use your Photoshop skills to mock that up. But then we'd have 2 devils tails though right? You're right though adding the Devils tail to the y would have been a nice touch. I'm in the middle of something but i'll try to slap something together later if nobody else did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
