Maybe sports teams are ready to move away from the flashy, swirly, angry logos and back to a classic look similar to what the NY Yankees and the Chicago White Sox logos look like.

Perhaps they are trying to evoke a more loyal fan base to the city by plastering the name a big larger, or tag along with the more simple, vintage look many fans seem to be taking a liking to. I agree that the Capitol's new logo definitely lost quite a few "intimidation" points, but I guess if they're hoping for a new & better team next season, the only thing to change right now while the ice is melted is their logo. I found a site with a couple more funny logos: http://www.bushparty.com/htms/hockeylogos.htm I think if I started a sports team, I would purposely made a hilarious name (i.e., Brandon Wheat Kings) just so I could laugh and make a ridiculous logo (i.e., a bull on skates).
