  1. More specifically, Lindenwood is in the St. Louis suburb of St. Charles, Missouri. They play at the Centene Community Ice Center, which is the practice facility of the St. Louis Blues and next week is hosting an NCAA Frozen Four regional round. On a separate note, if and when you get to North Dakota, I'd like to advocate for a concept that rebrands the team using its existing "NODAK" throwback/alternate, which I'm seeing more and more of in retail inventory. (FWIW, as an alum, I voted for NODAKS among the finalists when they were seeking input on a replacement for Fighting Sioux. The powers-that-be went with the blandest, if safest, route.)
  2. Maybe all that exposure to the Packers has just made you blind.
  3. I’d agree with that point if the primary logo was completely overlooked in the road uniform. But it’s right there on the sleeve of the Twins road uniform, and it’s prominent in the vast majority of team branding. The idea that putting an alternate logo on a hat somehow diminishes the effect of the primary mark just doesn’t work in this instance. It’s a manufactured concern for a problem that doesn’t exist.
  4. Yet it seems like all I see at Twins games is the new M hat being worn everywhere. I was just in Fort Myers to catch some Spring Training games and it was all over the place. I don't think that logo's going anywhere anytime soon.
  5. I just wanted to give some much-deserved applause to this absolutely perfect description of Tropicana Field. Bravo!
  6. I guess we all misread your post disputing the idea of creating space to "frame" a sponsor logo, in response an original post that used the Seahawks as one of the examples. My bad.
  7. That Seahawks example is a perfect illustration of a design element that serves no other purpose than to allow the Swoosh to stand out more than it would otherwise. It's worse, in my opinion, to have the logo be front-and-center on the chest, like it is with most college programs. But it's hard to deny that Nike has used the opportunity to create designs on the shortened sleeve caps that allow the Swoosh stand out even more. That's why you see it applied in contrasting team colors rather than sticking to an otherwise innocuous white logo. In a perfect world, the manufacturer's mark should be visible, but not an attraction unto itself. It's like a photo credit in a publication. But in these cases, it isn't so much an additional team logo, as @BBTV suggest, as it is a forced design element. The intent is clear -- to make the Nike logo a part of the design rather than a functional addendum to it.
  8. I don't follow. Instituting a league-wide rule requiring punters and kickers to wear different-colored uniforms isn't anything like players pushing the limits of accessorizing. I can't imagine how one would lead to the other.
  9. I think @BBTV suggested making them more like soccer goalies: a standard design in a non-team color. I wouldn't have any issue with that. In addition to benefiting the issue of number circulation, it has an on-field function. They are fundamentally a different type of player than everyone else on the field, and there's never more than one of them on the field at a time.
  10. I also want to applaud @HOOVER's number set. But I'd suggest taking @rfraser85's idea here a step further: QBs should be allowed 1-19 but punters and kickers should be limited to single digits. There are fewer of them on a team so they should have the narrowest range of choices. (I'm also intrigued by @BBTV's notion that K's and P's don't need numbers at all, or should be outfitted differently. Makes a ton of sense. ) Regardless, and I've said this before, but keeping position-restricted jersey numbers is a necessity. It gives position groups an identity and adds order to chaos. Allowing a jersey number free-for-all is an assault on the visual history of the NFL. Allow the exceptions over time -- John Hadl, Jim Jensen, etc. -- to remain quirky anomalies..
  11. I would suspect that they will either offer refunds or jersey swaps to anyone who wants to rid themselves of the Dabella jersey.
  12. I just do not get the appeal of this Battlehawks secondary. It's a largely unrecognizable shape that barely, if at all, registers to me as a bird. It's telling to me that this logo appears to have no application on the uniforms themselves. I have no idea if it's used at all.
  13. This might just be me looking through nostalgia-tinted glasses, but I'd love it if they kept the Classic edition jerseys full time. Even the logo. Watching them play in that set, on that court, just feels right. I also like the updates to the colors they used on the classics. To me, they're a perfect basketball uniform. They've also seemingly sold out of all the apparel related to the Classic edition. Either that or was an intentionally limited supply. The jerseys seemed to have been online for a day or two before they were gone. I'm hoping that's an indication of high demand.
  14. The Pacific Blue is a gorgeous color, but it's used way too minimally for my likes. The details here are nice, but it feels like a missed opportunity.
  15. I'm not suggesting there would be any confusion. But they would have been better off leaning into a color scheme that was unique, leading with aqua, than one that closely resembles the color palette of another team in the league. So no, I wouldn't confuse these two, but it's clear that, colorwise, they're painting with similar brushes, so to speak.
