mamiller99 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Even though I love the Jackets to death, the jerseys are really boring. There's a problem when the away jersey looks better than the home. My solution: promote the alt template to primary, change the Royal blue to red, change the cream to regular white, keep the primary logo, change the number font, and add shoulder patches.I also think the Wild needs to rebrand AGAIN, I hate that the team uses 2 templates for the jerseys.Lastly, I HATE the Panthers look. I'd say morph the logo into an N with a hockey stick, swap red with a royal blue, kill the gold, and add some fleur de lis to it... That's what- She Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluggerplugger1 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 NFL (11)Titans - Nothing about their current set is appealing to me..I think we can all agree they're overdue for a change.Patriots - It's an opinion shared by many on here, but nothing will change for a while because the team has been so successful wearing these unis.Broncos - IMO their current set looks dated.Chargers - I'd like to see them go back to powder blue and change that number font.Buccaneers - I don't know why they felt the tweaks to their logo were necessary, because IMO it only looks worse.Falcons - ...Rams - I feel like the Pats, Broncos, Falcons, and St. Louis have similar elements that need to be axed badly.Washington - Everything.Eagles - That number font and shade of green have to go. I don't know how kelly green/black/silver would look, but I'd assume cleaner than midnight green.Cowboys - Is this ever going to happen with Jerry there, though?Cardinals - Same issues as the Rams and Falcons.MLB (4)Twins - The addition of gold and subtraction of pinstripes didn't upset me so much as the lack of consistency with their new color across their entire set. That needs to be looked at, and soon.Diamondbacks - They're just so bland compared to their old identity, which I still defend as one of the 90's best looks.Brewers - I agree with what Gothamite said earlier - they need to start fresh.Padres - Perhaps one of the most unimaginative rebrands took place with this club a while back. I wish they'd do brown/gold. Their navy/orange set was even better than this.NBA (8)Mavericks - The mixture of blues looks tacky to me and I think that this set is too plain.Wolves - Dallas Mavericks Jr. Both began blue/green, then drop green in favor of silver or black. Just disappointing.Thunder - Their jerseys honestly aren't too bad, but that logo has to be the least creative primary mark in the NBA.Clippers - Drop the Los Angeles Lakers wannabe primary logo and add a nautical theme to the brand.Kings - I really don't know what I'd want them to do, but something has to be done.Pacers - They feel like one of those NBA teams that changes their jerseys every once in a while. I'm partial to their late 80's unis.Magic - They're in the same boat as Sacramento with me.Hawks - Hey, Atlanta! Go with that red/yellow look! It looked infinitely better than current your red/white/blue set!NHL (9)Ducks - I initially liked their rebrand, but now I can't stand it. I don't know if a return to the Mighty Ducks look is the answer, but it may be.Sabres - Those jerseys just need to go.Flames - Same sitch as Buffalo.Avalanche - Same sitch as Buffalo..Panthers - Same sitch as Buffalo...I mean, seriously, what's up with those sleeve stripes?Kings - I'd like to see a return to purple, personally.Predators - Same sitch as Buffalo....Islanders - Maybe it doesn't qualify as a rebrand, but their primary logo needs a touch-up.Penguins - The entire world wants this change to happen, no?*I feel as if more NHL teams need rebrands, but maybe this is all I can think of off the top of my head* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VancouverFan69 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 NHL: Canucks - Replace the Orca with the Skating Johnny Canuck. A 'V' or a roundel as a backdrop is acceptable. Return to block font and add a green border. Flames - Ditch the black and go full out retro. Avalanche - Ditch the black and add more burgundy. Font needs improvement. Kings - Retro crown(minus Chevy crest) and 90's template. Wild - NAME CHANGE!! Moose? Fighting Saints? North Stars 2.0??Sharks - Replace orange with grey.

The lid is off on all the corruption that taints just about every major program and every decision that the schools or the NCAA make is only about money, money, and more money. We'll have three 16+ team super-conferences sooner rather than later, killing much of the regional flair and traditional rivalries that make college sports unique and showing the door to any school that doesn't bring money to the table in the process. Pretty soon the smaller schools are going to have to consider forming their own sanctioning body to keep the true spirit of college sports alive because the NCAA will only get worse in it's excess from here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAWeaver Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I've been experimenting with a possible MLB-to-football crossover and I noticed that there are A LOT of teams with the same or similar color schemes. Here's what I would change:Phillies - Change to maroon and light blue Brewers - change the gold to yellow Twins - add gold full time. I actually like the addition of gold. Houston - go back to the previous color scheme. Yes, I said it. I like their old scheme and logo package better.Giants - Ditto Minnesota. Padres - Brown is the way to go, but it needs to be modern rather than the 70s-esque brown-orange-gold scheme. My solution is a Dark Brown-Light Blue-Sand scheme. Marlins - take the current logo and combine it with the previous color scheme. @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikWings Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 There's other teams who may need a tweak here or there but these are main ones I think need changesNFL:Bengals - Really all they need to do is lose the side panels.(Saving this spot for 2015 Browns )Bucs - How this even got past the concept stage is beyond me.Cardinals - dated Reebok mess that needs a change.Falcons - Haven't stood test of time. Do something red helmets and black jerseys.Jaguars - Go back to being mainly team. Launch helmets into outer space. New logo is fine, even if I'm nostaglic for the old one.Patriots- see Cardinals/FalconsNHL:Avanlanche - Edge mess. Start over with something closer to original set.Capitals - start over. Make WEagle the main logo.Ducks - They upgraded, but that wasn't hard to do. If you're not gonna bring back the Eggplant and Jade at least use the Duck mask in current colors.Flames- Edge piping mess. Stupid warning flags. 80s set would be perfect, I could even live with the pre-edge set.Hurricanes- Team Canada? Carolina Red Leafs? Why they dropped the unique warning flags is beyond me.Penguins - Another edge mess.. Promote your 3rd to primary and make a white one.Senators- See Penguins/Avs/Flames. Also bring back 2-D logo.Wild - Road and Alt are perfect. Home jerseys are dated.Teams that need a hem stripe: Coyotes, Panthers, Sharks. MLB:Brewers - BiG unis.DBacks - PURPLE AND TEAL!!!!Marlins - everything about their recent rebrand sucked. Teal needs to be more prominent.Padres - boring and lifeless. Don't necessarily want them to bring back brown, but they need to do something.NBA:Hawks - Looks like their already getting one next year. Dropping Navy and making the Pacman logo more prominent.Kings - what they have isn't workingMavs - Dated. Needs green in their somewhere.Rockets - never liked these. I'm one of the few who like Barkley-era ones though.Thunder- boring unis, too many colors, atrocious logo.T'Wolves - these are mess. Garnett-era was perfect.I see a lot of people saying the Sixers. I like what they have now, yea they're boring but I fear what a rebrand might bring. (They're rumored for one next year). IDC if they change the uniforms. Just never touch the logo and colors. A lot of people saying Iverson-era return, no just no, that's just Iverson-nostalgia and I say that with AI being one of my favorite players ever.

Packid Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 In MLB, I'd say the Rockies, Diamondbacks, Padres, Brewers, Marlins, Indians, Twins, Royals, and Rays could all use a rebrand. The Reds would do well to get rid of black, but I don't think they need a full rebrand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 It failed spectacularly. As far as "Euro brands" go? MLS' branding success has increased significantly since they began to use European-style names that soccer fans accept as sounding "professional." The league almost went under when they tried to tailor the game to North American sensibilities. Since they've gone with their current direction? They've been successful. Like it or not, the European branding has proven to be a huge success.

Like it or not, the European branding has proven to be a huge success.Couldn't disagree more. You should go to places like Portland, Seattle, and here in Vancouver where the fans absolutely love their teams and the history that goes back to the NASL era. The LA Galaxy(no NASL ties) have done very nicely both on and off the field. The main reason why MLS is doing well is because of most teams playing in soccer-specific stadiums. The opening festivities before each game with teams walking out of the tunnels with youth teams is a soccer tradition. Supporters groups like Portland's Timbers Army, Seattle's Emerald City Supporters and the Vancouver Southsiders, which I'm proudly a member of, rank as among the very best in MLS. The NASL was a success in a number of markets. The reasons why the league fell apart was because of over expansion, not having a salary cap and having teams play in huge football stadiums without the thought of configuring the seating to make attending games more intimate. Playing indoors during the winter didn't help matters either. Not because of team names. "Tailoring the game to North American sensibilities" is an example of condescending British "Football" snobbishness. I will take my Vancouver Whitecaps FC any day over the likes of "Vancouver FC" or "Van City United". This isn't Europe and we have other major pro sports. Soccer is soccer and fans who enjoy the Beautiful Game will come out to watch.Cheers and Merry Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
