Randy Jones jumps from Clarkson

[CowbellGuy]

And the rather unfortunate trend continues...

Just as Clarkson's new branding/logos were unveiled.  I must say that it's not as bad as huggy-bear, but now the Golden Knight is actually green.

Looks like this past weekend was the time for NHLers to invade upstate NY.  As Eric Cole, Craig Conroy, and Todd White were all back in Potsdam.

An unfortunate trend, or players running towards the money before labor problems and a new CBA?

Hopefully the latter...

I believe the unfortunate trend is Clarkson sucking . . .

I think Clarkson may surprise a few people this coming season.  Not boasting here at all but after having attended the reunion this past weekend and having talked with returning players, and the new coaches, as well as a couple of incoming kids, I think things are headed in the right direction.

The loss of Jones is unfortunate, as is LeNeveu's departure but the coaches and players appear to be committed to working hard to have a succesful season.

FYI,

It wasn't an invasion...it was the annual hockey reunion weekend coinciding with class reunions.

In addition,  Craig Conroy's and Erik Cole's wives are both from the North Country and both families own homes where they spend their summers.  In the past they both worked at the summer hockey school as well.  I've seen Craig at each reunion I've attended for many years now.

Todd White is a frequent returnee as well, among many others.

I agree that the green knight is a bit confusing, but I rather like the "secondary logo mark."

Eck, not too wowed by the new Clarkson logos. They're not horrible, but I don't consider them an improvement over the existing version. And the "Hockey Word Mark" doesn't work for me; I don't naturally interpret the hockey stick as the L, so it first struck me as misspelled (maybe this is more a symptom of my feeble brain than an defect of the logo :-P ) . Add this to the list of disappointing logo revamps.

[Greg Berge]

Please tell me they've gotten rid of that godawful mustard third jersey.

I think Clarkson will be back in the mix.  I have no logical reason to think so, but I just can't see them sucking for long; that would be so unClarkson.

Nah, I agree, first time I looked at it I thought "wait, didn't they miss a letter there... oooohhh" . I have a hunch we won't be seeing much of that one. They would really have to make a hockey stick of the L, and not an L of the hockey stick.

[Rich Stamboulian]

I'm pretty sure we won't be seeing "those" jerseys anymore....Thank God!!  :-D

[Rich Stamboulian]

I don't agree that it's a flaw in the logo.  Actually, Clarkson has used a "hockey stick L" on imprint items but not jerseys,
 for a number of years now.   Isn't using the "L" a natural ?

Also there should be more space between the C and the A, which would indicate more easily that the stick is a letter, rather than a stick stuck between the C and A.

I always have to shake my head when I see PR hype like:  "We feel the new marks will bring a sense of excitement and pride to the Clarkson athletic program."  Huh?  Excitement?  Whom are they trying to kid?  

[This is not a knock on Clarkson.  Cornell can sling this nonsense with the best of 'em.  See huggy bear.]

Is it time to make "CARKSON SLUCKS" t-shirts and signs? :-D
