Wow. Terrible.

| I agree with Apocalypse Sticks. Like the colors from the past but if I didn't know any better you would think we were affiliated with the Hurricanes. |

Really like the colors. I think the design will grow on me. As a transplant to this city, it's remarkable how negative people are about change. Laughable actually. But I digress. Typical, it would seem, for folks on here. |

| I like the new logo, uniforms and color scheme. Cyclones fans didn't like the logo change prior to the start of the 1995-96 season, either. Tough group to please. |

| Meh......take it or leave it for me. I'm willing to try just about anything in hopes special teams perform better in the post season....it kinda reminds me in a way of the oilers machine cog logo...I suppose everything will be fine if I try on a size 60 goalie cut, bigger the better. game on |

The rebranding was one of the worst kept secrets. I was looking forward to the unveiling, just disappointed with the result. It's safe and corporate.
Cincinnati sports fans are hostile to change, there's no denying that.. but somebody should listen when it's this overwhelmingly negative. They're going to need somebody to sell the new merch to after all. |

Have to agree with Donnie. Logo, colors, and jerseys are all better, reflect the status of design, and look more professional than the cartoon character in the old logo. Wasn't at the unveiling so wondering if management said anything about why they wanted to do this and incur the expense from the agency as well s new merchandise? Wasn't cheap.
Also interested in anything they might have said that would be of interest to those who couldn't attend.
Bottom line is it makes no difference to the product on the ice. All window dressing |

| If there was just something there to associate with in regards to Cyclones history. I suppose it is difficult to rebrand a tornado and an impaled hockey goalie (LOL). Some teams I guess just have iconic logos that stand the test of time like Montreal and Boston, even the Ft Wayne Komets for that matter. I remember when Boston changed their logo and people went nuts. In any case logo or not they're still the team I love to root for. GO CYCLONES!!!! |

It's Cincinnati. People will find something to complain about. Seems I'm right..again. |

I'm not down on change, I'm down on horrible logos.
They could have done a whole lot better. Simply making the old logo more modernized with the new jersey colors would have been great.
A C that looks like a turbocharger and doesn't say Cincinnati or look hockey related is just plain stupid. |

The C looks like a hurricane eye, and the circle looks like a cleaned up version of the Carolina Hurricanes logo... at least weve won more cups than them...

| I agree with Randy. I'm not at all opposed to change, but I won't be trading in my jerseys for this one in this lifetime. Very disappointed in this one. |

I think that the jerseys look great and the colors are pretty spot-on. No more gold!
The logo leaves a lot to be desired and from what I saw it appears that there isn't even a different one for the shoulder. Using the two previous logos as the two shoulder logos would have been a nicer tough to pay homage to them. Frankly anything different on the shoulders would have been better. The main logo would have looked cool as the shoulder logo only even. I was hoping for a lot more and am quite disappointed with it. If we were Carolina's affiliate in the AHL then it'd make a little more sense. It was an overly "safe" choice and doesn't even seem to accomplish any type of awareness around town like the previous logo did. Cincinnatians aren't going to recognize it as anything for quite a while since it makes no reference to hockey and hardly to the team's name.
In the end though it is all about the on-ice product and my enjoyment of that doesn't change based on what they're wearing. Hopefully they'll revise this and bring out something new after a few years. |

| My wife runs an embroidery business and she wasn't keen on the logo till we watched the video and saw what it looked like on a player in some light. The metallic thread within the logo will look great on the ice. I can get used to the jersey's, I like the grey alternates. I am not sure what the process is for jersey league ok, but I wonder if a shoulder patch could be thrown on before the season starts to appease the pitchfork and torch crowds. I think the goalie C on the shoulder would make all better. |
