Eleven Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Very cool. I think I like 1979 best. EDIT: On second thought, 74-75. I like that solid line. Edited February 10, 2015 by Eleven Quote

The orientation of the logos at the Aud is curious. They went back and forth. Why orient the logo toward the ends? Do you know why red lines went from solid to designs in the first place? Quote

cap10 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 The solid color to dotted design for the red line was originally done for television. On early black and white TV broadcasts, it was hard to differentiate the blue lines from red lines (they all just looked dark grey) so the League mandated that the center red line should be dotted/designed. It's actually an official rule (NHL Rulebook 1.5: "...This line shall contain regular interval markings of a uniform distinctive design, which will readily distinguish it from the two blue lines, the outer edges of which must be continuous. (Paintcode PMS 186)". Quote

Sabres Fan in NS Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 Very interesting. I especially like the 1968 Penguins logo. Quote

Spectacular site. http://frozennhl.blogspot.com/search/label/Buffalo?max-results=100 That's pretty awesome! The solid color to dotted design for the red line was originally done for television.

spndnchz Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 It's odd that the logo on the scoreboard is different than the one at center ice. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 I really like the solid red line, but I can't stand the duel logos. Overall I'd probably take the 40th anniversary version. Quote
Stoner Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Posted February 10, 2015 What's the difference between 1999 and 2000? The year labels are a little confusing. Quote
MattPie Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 What's the difference between 1999 and 2000? The year labels are a little confusing. That year, if I remember right, the NHL required white ice to border the red so it's easier to see icing and 2-line passes. If you put the images on two tabs a switch between them it's easier to see.

SwampD Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 What's the difference between 1999 and 2000? The year labels are a little confusing. The inside of the (bison's) right horn is black in one and grey in the other one. I don't see a difference between 98 and 99. That year, if I remember right, the NHL required white ice to border the red so it's easier to see icing and 2-line passes. If you put the images on two tabs a switch between them it's easier to see. ah. that's why it looks grey. Quote
Taro T Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 Very interesting. I especially like the 1968 Penguins logo. wtf do they get credit for the 2008 Winter Classic? Quote

Taro T Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 ???Shouldn't that have been considered a Sabres' CI logo rather than a Pens' logo? Quote
Eleven Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) Shouldn't that have been considered a Sabres' CI logo rather than a Pens' logo? I don't even see a 2007 Winter Classic logo on there, much less a Penguins one. It seems to start at 2008. You might have to help me out here. EDIT: Pardon me, 2008. But it definitely doesn't seem Penguins-centric to me. Edited February 11, 2015 by Eleven Quote

There is no WC: http://frozennhl.blogspot.com/search/label/Pittsburgh?max-results=100 Same on my work computer, too. Edited February 11, 2015 by Eleven Quote

Randall Flagg Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 Check this. http://frozennhl.blogspot.com/search/?q=pittsburgh This one wasn't on mine either, but I see it in this link... Quote
Eleven Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 This one wasn't on mine either, but I see it in this link... Same. Really weird. It's in there for Buffalo on this one, as is Finland: http://frozennhl.blogspot.com/search/?q=buffalo Quote
