The logos, shown above, will not be replacing the main logo of the Sharks or appear on any of the three current versions of the team’s jerseys, but used in marketing efforts next season. The logos were designed by Terry Smith, who is also credited with designing the team’s original logo in 1991. Despite not being a part of the team’s current jerseys, the team did report that new merchandise with the logo is coming soon.
When the Sharks host the Nashville Predators on Oct. 29, the team will be giving away “Los Tiburones” jerseys to fans in attendance, shown below, and incorporating the team’s new secondary logo. ‘Los Tiburones’ is a nickname of the team, and is Spanish for ‘Sharks.’
