  1. I was just thinking about this. It's actually wild at how talented they were during the 2010's yet had little to show for it. Since that Super Bowl against Green Bay to now, they have just three playoff wins... against AJ McCarron, Matt Moore, and Alex Smith. They really have underachieved and it kind of reminds me of the Saints during that same span. After years of falling short, it just felt like the Brees/Payton era already accomplished what they could and it just had to end. I am wondering if it's the same way for Tomlin and the Steelers. I don't think he can replicate the Super Bowl contending days of the late 2000's, but will he ever sniff the consistent 11-12 win seasons from the past decade?
  2. I like that they're at least keeping that logo particularly in San Diego. The way I view it, the logo belongs to the city because of its history there and it would be a little weird to see it used within a rival city.
  3. Sooner or later, they might let QB's wear whatever number they want, even if it's something like 99. Not that I'm advocating for it, but it's a worrying reality.
  4. I mean, it's the Steelers. Nearly everything they do tends to go their way and I almost fully expect them to finish yet again with a winning record and playoff spot. Anyway, with Kirk Cousins to Atlanta, I have no clue where the Bears are going to ship Justin Fields because it's clear that nobody wants him. There's no way they'll draft Caleb Williams and keep Fields on the roster, right?
  5. New England just really seemed like an odd fit for Jones from the beginning. Maybe he would've been better in a more lenient or less-demanding market. Also, that 2021 quarterback draft class... Yikes!
  6. Due to (obvious) pushback, I don't think we'll have to worry about that happening. But there is also this... https://awfulannouncing.com/college-football/big-ten-sec-cfb-college-football-playoff-revenue.html Apparently they also want the majority of the revenue earned from the CFP. The closest thing to European Super League s**t I can see. At this point, I actually really am rooting for them to just separate themselves from the rest of college football.
  7. Powder blue pants would also provide the Chargers the option of a mono-powder blue look for home games. I think I would pass on that; sticking with white and yellow is just for the best.
  8. I was just gonna bring this up in a joke about how Las Vegas houses replicas of other well-known international structures (Statue of Liberty, Eiffel Tower). "We'll have the Sydney Opera House, too!"
  9. OMG I knew this all reminded me of something and it was an apparel brand!
  10. Oh, wow! A while back, I actually suggested that they should go with a navy, red, and light blue color scheme and a Columbus Clipper-styled logo. They went with almost exactly what I suggested for them to do. I'm still surprised they went this route though, as I really doubted the creativity revolving around a Steve Ballmer ownership after the previous ClipArt reveal. The execution of the logos, at least with the roundels, really don't come off as sports logos to me, but can be used as sports logos in the right applications. Using a roundel in general doesn't surprise me, but I believe it works for this brand. The colors are also fine, though I would've preferred to see a little more usage of light blue, even if it was still a third color. It's easy to call it an upgrade based on what they have now, but I think they did a really good job here. An identity of their own.
  11. Based on his comments, it tells me that the current set will be around longer than I initially would have thought. For me, it's not as much about the uniforms as it is the logo that needs to be changed. None the less, it's a reminder that the owners opinion is above all else in these matters. Even if they went the throwback route, it shouldn't be to the 1966 set. Over the decades, the Dolphins corrected on key issues which the inaugural unform had. They changed their facemasks to aqua when NFL uniforms established colored facemasks, they got rid of the fill-in effect from blocked numbers (as seen in that last image), and they corrected on the striping inconsistency with the helmet and pants stripe. Throwbacks can definitely be used again, but it's important to remember the concept of evolution in the case where certain areas are changed for the better.
  12. I didn't like how the set (at least with the home) had little white, especially when the color is as present as it is in the logo. Honolulu blue and silver blend in too much when they are together, and the anthracite grey did not work well enough as a number outline color to separate the two. The Northwestern stripes also needed some white to make them pop. It wasn't all that bad of a uniform. It just needed a little more color insertion (and color removal in the case of anthracite grey).
  13. Brandiose definitely has the potential to make a comeback. Their earlier works with brands like the El Paso Chihuahuas and Biloxi Shuckers were truly great. Unfortunately, the typical elements they've used (googly eyes, muscle flex, teeth grinning), along with the adjective names, got tiresome when shown with later brands like the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, Fort Myers Mighty Mussels and so on. Maybe they can capitalize on quality over quantity down the stretch. I think it would be good for them because they clearly have the talent.
  14. That's awesome! Props to the stakeholders and local community groups for helping to bring it back.
  15. I was mostly wrong. Although, I'm guessing that design is based on the curly-like structures you see on the French architecture present in the older parts of the city. I'm actually surprised they didn't keep going with the backdrop theme because there could've been more features used to represent New Orleans. Anyway, the color scheme is pretty jarring. I've never liked pink and green together, but it's even worse when it's toned up so brightly. As someone pointed out, it's like an acid trip.
