Both logos are very good, very sharp. but there's just something about the blackhawks logo, not sure what, that just makes it a better symbol
www.calgaryflames.com has released this teaser:

i hate the Flames, so Blackhawks was the only choice
The flaming c is fug and is only outdone by the their farm teams faming q (appropriate isn't it).
The Blackhawks have of the best logos in pro-sports, let alone the NHL. It isn't even a contest.
Best logo in sports.
Chicago Blackhawks.
Blackhawks hands down. O6, lets all get real here. La Flamme - inherited Southern white trash.
this post here isn't about this particular poll but it's about the poll that will open in about 4 hours
i was looking around on the net and i found out that the "I" in Islanders points exactly to where Nassau Coliseum is located in Long Island
I dunno about u guys but that's gonna change my vote
i love little secret things inside of a logo that make it so, different
who wants to look at a "classic" indian head, man thats brutal, FLAMES ALL THE WAY!!!
Calgary. I prefer classy and simple logos.
How in the world are the Hawks a 14 seed? This is worse than the NCAA Selection Committee.
The Hawks, last I checked had not only top-5 uniforms, but one of the most favored logos in all of sports, not just by the fans, but also favored by athletes.
Even the Hockey News, last time it did one of those league-wide surveys ranked the Hawk logo/uniform really high.
How are the Hurricanes and Avs seeded so high?
Chris already explained that the Avs and Canes get a free pass by random selection. Read the blog, kids.
*Blackhawks*
Hey Chris, i agreed with most of your games, but i always thought you werent giving the blackhawks their respect. It was actualy a tough call. The flames have a very cool (hot in this case) logo. That said the Hawks have a great classic looking logo. I love the color scheme, its original and beautiful
Flames Burn Everything.....
But I voted for the 'hawks
Flames should take this based on logo quality alone, but Chicago has a strong original 6 following it seems.
Calgary flames all the way
classy logo doesn't need much to make it look good.
CALGARY ALL THE WAY
There is no quality in the design of the Flames logo...it is a flaming black C, that just oozes with quality. The Blackhawks logo on the other hand is a well designed logo, not a letter, and contains many accent colors, yet still looks professional. How the hell can you even call a letter a team logo anyways. the Blackhawks secondary logo is better than the flaming C.
In Illinois there is a 100 food Stone statue of Chief BlackHawk looking over the Rock River... its a true story about how the Chief lost his wife and child who drowned falling off a canoe in the deep river and he followed their fate trying to save them.
I pass by it many times a year.. when traveling to my summer home. The logo actually has REAL meaning behind it and they have stuck by it all these years.
As a Flames fan - I'm a bit confused at the.. support... for the Calgary logo. Yes, it is simple - but that translates well to print. But have you seen the Chicago logo in black/white? It looks even better!
Everything the Flames logo does, the Chicago logo does it better. Forget the statements of original six, class, Canadian, old, etc... The Chicago logo is just better - and I say that again as a Flames fan.
the calgary logo i find is quite simple but that is how we like it easy to reprint for our car flags and easy to paint on our faces. The logo easily outstrips that of chicago especially when you see thousands of them in the sea of red.plus a strange indian head is just not my taste.

You do know that you can buy already made car flags rather than drawing your own, right?
The Flames logo is OK in it's simplicity but lacks in originality. Hawks is classic and eye-catching - but I have to admit that it is tough to draw... ;-)
