Columbus

Columbus
BLUE JACKETS '00


REMEMBER: You're choosing the WORST logo!

We know the Columbus Blue Jackets first hit the ice in 2000, so why is there a logo here marked 1999? Let me explain. The "bug logo" was featured on the shoulders of the team's uniforms for several years from their inception — sans the wordmark part. The version of the logo with the wordmark was used in promotional items and ads for the team prior to their inaugural season. I could've just used the bug-only version but I went with this one instead. Wish I had a better reason for you. Let your voices be heard!

Vancouver
CANUCKS '78


REMEMBER: You're choosing the WORST logo!

Obviously this will be another controversial poll as I've already heard the argument that the 1978 graphic isn't a logo but rather a striping design. But just to reiterate, you guys chose what was going to be involved in this tournament — not me. The reason I'm letting it slide, however, is that it's featured on the front of the jersey prominently enough to consider it somewhat of a secondary logo design. To each his own. Happy voting!

Just To Freak You Out XXV

Time for this week's Freak Out Friday post — which happens to be the 25th ever. You know you love it. By the way, you're going to start to notice a very specific theme. Just go with it. I'll begin with a little something to startle you.



Now something to downright disgust you.



Who would do that to the Blues logo? And why?

Beware of purple sweaters.



And scary Tim Burton penguins.



Also white sweaters, apparently.



And sweaters with trees on them.



Yellow ones as well.



There's so much to be wary about these days that you might hope to find solace in the Vancouver Canucks.



All hope is lost.



And any notion of a sensible design.

Finally, the fisherman you all love so much may not have worked for the Islanders, but if the Whalers every make a return, I think we've found their man.



Hope you guys enjoyed this episode. Stay tuned for a brand new one next week. Same bat time. Same bat channel. (Batman on the brain. Just watched Batman Begins again today.)

By the way, yes, obviously you're just voting on the color scheme here as the rest of the logo is the same. So try to resist the urge to comment about how the only difference is the colors. We know.
