Too much going on there.

I also don't really understand why a roman/trojan, whatever, warrior is the logo for Senators?

- Aetherial

It's because the first major legal system that specifically had Senators was in Rome.

Otherwise the logo would just be a guy in a suit..... I've always thought it would be kind of cool if we named the rink something like "The Senate". But I guess i'm old fashioned like that, I like catchy nicknames lol

here's your home and away, and then a black one with the "O" as your 3rd

this is my favorite proposal that I've seen

Then you go with the city instead?

or something like a stylized shot of parliament? and "Ottawa" above it. Sounds a little boring but some of the best logos are pretty boring.

Only problem with that is that Ottawa isn't like New York or even Toronto.... We don't really have a nice skyline.

We don't have a CN tower or Empire State Building or Statue of Liberty

Maybe they could use Parliament but a lot of people right now associate Parliament with our current useless government and that isn't really a good thing. Plus it's not like that building is even that good looking.

Personally, I love the character logos.

fair, but Ceci will likely be signed for way to much money very soon and the way it was worded sounded like Dion was still playing for the Sens.

Meh, that's not a bad thing, it means we aren't over paying on D right now lol

Gets my vote. Followed by heritage "O" with 2D as the alternate.

They will muck up the jerseys somehow. We can't have nice things.

I really like these jersey designs, but I hate that 90's logo

I also am not sure that Adidas likes the strings. If they took this layout, updated it for the new Adidas styling (like the strings that Buffalo has) and with a better logo (like one in the comments earlier).

It would be amazing

You know that even if Melnyk sells the team or not, they aren't allowed to move without a majority vote from every owner in the league and approval from Bettman (Who's already gone on record multiple times saying he will not let them move)

Plus the rights to the Quebec logo and name is owned by the Avs and the rights to the Whalers logo and name is owned by Carolina.

The only exception to that when it comes to relocated teams and who owned the rights are when teams actually fold. Or the one weird case is the Jets, still owned their name but their logo rights are actually owned by Arizona

Jersey


Go easy on me, I did this in paint so it's very simple and a bit grainy. But I think something along these lines would be awesome for a new jersey for the Sens.

I would also say use the jersey's they have until the opening of the new rink... otherwise it'll just be looked at as a cash grab.

Im going to disagree with changing the jerseys.
If I'm the new PR girl - I guarantee a new jersey gets spun with this angle "poor cheap melnyk changes logo again for desperate jersey cash grab"

ya...leave em.

I'm sorry but literally nobody would think this. It's one of the main things almost every fan is asking for

Any new type of jersey is a cash grab. But you are absolutely right, the fans want a change. It wouldn't be as obvious of a money grab (or saving) as other things Melnyk has done.

He's right. You may be the only one who'd like those. Count me in with the majority, the throw-back 2D version for home/away, and the 3rd "O" jersey would be great.

that doesn't make him "right". Just like I'm not right for wanting something new. Personally I didn't like the 2D jerseys when we had them originally.

I remember everyone was super happy when they changed because they were so outdated.

These look great.

The "O" jerseys look terrible and might be the worst jerseys in the league. They look more like something a rugby team should wear than a hockey team.
