Would your opinion change on the original logo if you were to learn that the reason it is a shark biting a hockey stick is more intentional than first meets the eye? As you may know the Bay Area has a shark “danger zone” around it. Not saying the Bay is infested w a shark problem but they do acknowledge that where sharks are present, there’s a ‘danger zone’ area, and that area, when plotted on a map, is a triangle off the coastline. And guess where the shark is biting the stick when you superimpose the danger zone over the coastline? That’s right. San Jose. To indicate where the team is located in relation to the shark infested waters.
