New one is an improvement, though I would have preferred (if they're changing it anyway) to see a leaping cat, sort of like the leaping springbok on SA's logo. Still, the new logo suggests more confidence than the old one.

Like it! Small improvements, doesn't stray from tradition. When does this go into effect?

 

[HornetsCoach]

Definitely an improvement - hope they can come up with something like that when it comes to their shirts...

 

[iINDOMINUSxx]

Haha don't sound too thrilled !!

All they have done is turned the puma round ?

Well it looks like a jaguar but I guess it's a puma from the nickname ?

I'm confused

 

[Big Ewis]

well yeah come on, isn't this a bit ridiculous ? Never seen such an incredibly ineffective change for a logo ! This would be a good idea for a comedy sketch...

Presenting !!..........*long tom drum roll* OUR NEW LOGO !!!!!
*complete silence in room* *one guy coughs way back in the room*

then you start seeing people leaving the room without saying anything.

Pretty pointless.

I prefer the old one anyway.

It's an improvement, but not much. I personally think they should have ditched the shield altogether and just had a leaping Puma with 'Los Pumas' under it - would keep be simpler and more elegant, and would keep it consistent with the only other 2 animal logo teams in the SH.

I guess it should be called an update rather than a new logo. It does look slightly better though.

Yeah, it's true, the animal in the logo is a jaguar, isn't a cougar. In fact, the animal in the logo has always been a jaguar but the team is known as the Cougars (The Pumas) by a big mistake.

On a tour to South Africa, Argentina achieved their first major victories in the history, the team beat the Juniors Springboks on 19 June 1965. Then a South African journalist said: "The Cougars won," the story says that the journalist saw the team logo (which actually had a jaguar) and maybe he thought that Argentina had no jaguars, then it must be a puma (cougar) badly drawn. Then, a South African newspaper reported that "The Cougars had won" and since then, the team is known as "The Cougars" (Los Pumas in Spanish) although the animal in the logo is a jaguar.

Great work, Conrad. I joined the forum just so I could say so!

Or.....

NOTE: And for the observant, yes I did pinch and modify the Jacksonville Jaguars logo for the leaping Puma.

Conrad,

Sent you a PM mate. Wondering if I could get your input on something.
