Buffoslug

I had a conversation at last night's Halloween party about current NHL logos - we were all on the same page: what are the designers and the people commissioning these new designs thinking (or smoking)?

In the case of the Vancouver Canucks: yes the logo is very West Coast, and is pretty neat looking, but it is also very corporate. The Canucks are owned by Orca Bay, and the Canuck logo is an Orca, shaped like a "C". Coincidence...

What ever happened to the days of the stick in the rink (okay, sure those appear on Vintage night), the skate, or everyone's favourite, the Flying V?

But forget the Canucks, I want to talk about the new team logo that has many NHL fans scratching their heads... the Buffoslug, or the Slugalo. Don't ever visit Buffalo, NY, apparently they have some pretty weird creatures there, namely buffalo with slug bodies. Personally I wouldn't want to run into one of those.

I love the old/Vintage Saber jersey. And it made total sense: a buffalo and two sabers...

Then came the Buffalo head logo...

...but I guess this year they decided the Buffalo head needed a body; but why give it a buffalo body, when you can give it the body of a slug?

What's next? The creepy Burger King mascot showing up in LA?
