Ok seriously, someone please explain to me what a "classy" logo is? Does that mean the Montreal logo is well dressed, with proper enunciation? Where as the Penguins logo scrapes along the bottom rung of society living pay cheque to pay cheque to rent out a basement suite?
I cannot understand how a C with an H inside, can ever be more physically appealing to the eye than a penguin. I am in no way defending the validity of a penguin symbolizing the city of Pittsburgh, but this is a competition of the best looking logo!
If you vote against Montreal's logo, you are no hockey fan. i'm sorry, it's true.
(I'm not a habs fan, but - seriously)
Androo's poSt wAs Hilarious!
Cliffster, neVEr use wikipedia as a referenCe cause aLOt of that if fake. ONE time it said Nick Cannon is looking to star in a porno?!
But yeaH PenguIns should win because of a more appealinG logo IMO and I never knew about tHat second C. Never really noticed that and if it's true then it's even better.
Reasons cited against HABS logo:
-it's French (you must be a silly american eating freedom fries, and the habs have an anglo background too ps)
-don't understand the logo (clearly you were in favour of the FOX animated puck and can't decipher the Yankees logo. Also it's easier to understand than "voulez-vous coucher avec moi?")
The Habs logo represents such a depth of winning, class, history and emotion, no contest vs. a picture of a penguin (is this even a question?)

Oops, got cut off:

Oh and, no, the H doesn't stand for Habitant, that's a misconception. It's Club de Hockey Canadien.Two Cs (white and red) and 1 H.
Dammit, just google
"si, best dressed"
first entry
not that i think SI is that great of a guide, just a cool list
this poll is worthless
What does "Save clone high" mean?
BTW, vote PENS!
A beautiful, classic logo. I'm not normally one for letters, but the Habs just make it work so damn well.
I'm not much of a fan of the Penguins. I dunno... I'm not much for animals playing whatever sport you play. Looks goofy to me.
So Habs for the win.
Dave... that is nonsense. so then what do panthers have to do with florida? what do Kings have to do with LA? what do Vikings have to do with Minnesota? your point is null.
The Panther is actually the State animal of Florida. And many Minnesotans have Scandinavian roots (Vikings)...Who cares about LA. Anyway that dudes comments aren't really that far off base. What do Penguins have to do with Pittsburgh?
I have heard that the PEN in Penguins and PEN in Pennsylvania have something to do with it though. I believe that is called an alliteration.
Also I'm not seeing a second C in the habs logo isn't that just an outline or highlight? not a big deal
The Penguin should win, and here's why. A Penguin could walk over to the inanimate Habs jersey and take a big, half-digested fishy dump on it. End of story.
Habs all the way!!! Its just to classic to say no to.
hahaha steve in denver, nice reasoning.
However, Habs are taking this one forsure. regardless of their history, the Canadiens have a better looking logo hands down. It's a better representation of the team, and their home city.
If you want to talk bad jerseys, go to Vancouver. Thats the most uncreative horror I've seen on a jersey since San Jose unveiled their new ones.
"What do Penguins have to do with Ice? ...Obviously. They score goals on it."
-Original team colors were planned to be black and white. Pittsburgh official and sports team colors are black and gold. Isn't it nice that we already have http://www.penguinworld.com/types/emperor.html" REL="nofollow">a perfectly pre-colored team mascot?
-Yes. Alliteration.
-Their building was already nicknamed the "Igloo". Screw geography!
-National Aviary is in PGH.
-The real Pittsburgh part of the logo is the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Triangle_%28Pittsburgh%29" REL="nofollow">Golden Triangle. (Don't you wish your dahntahn was bling like ours.)
-When Habs can spend months below freezing outside and in the dark, let me know.
(Insert joke about Canadian winter here.)
Forty years of hockey history ain't bad.
...Any more questions?
this is cool.
cant wait to see who wins!
I am waiting for the Blackhawks Logo to come up That is the best logo in sports.
Does the triangle in the Pens logo mean anything?
this is about the logo right
not the team or name or anything like that
sure the ch has a lot of history and is pretty much hockey, i means nothing
pens win for the better logo
*points up*
Yes. The Pens' gold triangle is a reference to downtown Pittsburgh (which has 3 rivers and is otherwise known as the Golden Triangle).
*points up again*
See the link above if you need a picture.
Roy! Most TRUE Pens fans know that the current skating Pens logo was around way before Lemieux. It was the logo in the 70's when the teams colors were blue/white. The logo used from '93 - '02 is commonly refered to as the "PIGEON LOGO" or the "CORPORATE LOGO". Personally I HATE THE F@#$*&^ PIGEON LOGO, I was 19 when Howard Baldwin switched logos and I quit buying Pens merchandise because of it. It wasn't until Lemieux brought back the Skating Penguin that I started buying merchandise again! I am 34 now and will always be partial to the Skating Penguin and for the record.....the skating Penguin is the logo on both of there Stanley Cup Banners
The Pens logo rules. The Canadians logo sucks.It's that simple
Actually, the Habs logo doesn't suck, you just think it sucks because you are a Pens fan and probably hate the Habs... as do the rest of the world. I am Habs fan and I can admit what's good and what's not, I can admit the Habs logo isn't the best, but it's among them. I for one like the Pens logo, one of my favourite logos. And as a Hab fan, I truly hate the Leafs, but I must say that their logo is really nice and definately beats NJ's. But that's just my opinion. I put the Leafs in my top 5 logos. My top 5 are the Sens (Old logo, I hate the newest one), Habs logo, Leafs logo, Avs logo and Pens logo.
Chris
I like the Pens logo best. The Habs logo has always reminded me of the Champion sports ware logo (I wonder if there is any relation between the two). But they're both (Pens and Habs) logos that shouldn't ever be messed around with (again).
How is the Canadiens' logo representative of the home city? I know about the CHC Club de Hockey Canadien, but does that really represent Montreal? Maybe if there was a depiction of a stripper on a pole that would be a better representation.
(pssst...I'm kidding!)
