SSmith48 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Hmmmmm.....Yep, I think it is a total upgrade. Howard FINALLY realized that the Bills ripoff was not acceptable in today's world, here are some uniforms:I know they have already been posted here, but I thought that maybe they would fit better in this thread.

timehasflownby Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 They finally got rid of their Bills ripoff, so points go to them just for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil G Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I do like the wordmark. It has somewhat of a blend of the standard and the unique so while the wordmark's not amazing it's certainly serviceable. The logo...ehhh. It's an upgrade over the Bills ripoff I guess, but it's still like every other logo in college sports today.

Germanshepherd Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Upgrade for sure. The bison's mouth and mane look a little strange but considering that the old logo was the Bills logo, this is an upgrade of the year contender. i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_tattoos Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Serious question. Why did the Bills allow Howard to use that logo for so long? I know Howard claimed to have made it first without legally protecting it (which was never proven). However, I've never heard about the Bills filing any sort of legal action against Howard. Seems like that would/could/should have happened at some point. Howard didn't just wear the logo on uniforms, they've actually sold merchandise with it for decades (My lifetime at least. Born in 1985).Honestly I think there may be some truth to Howard having it first, with some agreement being made between the two sides at some point. Nothing else can explain why an NFL franchise would allow a Division 1 college program (a minor one, but still D1) to use it's logo for such a long time. Ralph Wilson seemed like the type of rich old grump that would sue if he could. Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 what's with all the love for the new logo?c'mon!! the bills logo is way better than this stuff!ripoff? who cares.the bills logo is one of the best sports logos of all time.the definition of classic and modern.to quote todd radom:As complex logos gave way to sleek, bold, streamlined trademarks, whimsical logos were replaced by forward-looking identities in which shapes were synthesized into minimal elements that could capture a consumer’s attention in milliseconds.Paul Rand—arguably the most influential logo designer of any era—summed up the ideology behind this movement with these rather unsentimental words:“The principal role of a logo is to identify, and simplicity is its means…its effectiveness depends on distinctiveness, visibility, adaptability, memorability, universality, and timelessness.”The modern look was propelled forth by the Swiss Style of design, which featured exceptionally clean aesthetics and an emphasis on readability and a distinct lack of embellishment.The world of sports identity was inevitably influenced by these larger, global trends. Some of the logos that were created at this time are remarkable in their starkness and simplicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, but for as nice as Buffalo's logo is, it's not Howard's. That would be like someone by the name of Mike, using McDonad's golden arches... it's not his logo.

BBTV Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 The second row of that sheet is simpl awesome. Five genuinely (or in the case of the A-Flame, could have / should have been) iconic logos in a row. Didn't the Bills license it or something?

Sport Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 It's an upgrade because what wouldn't be, but it's still not quite there. The shapes in the bison head could use some refining and the middle lines in the B and S are bothering me. They should be on the same arced plane. Now they're competing with each other. It's not as clean as it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaha32 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 It's pretty good. The lines are a little rougher than most recent logo updates but maybe that works for bison, which usually have ratty fur. I wish the horns protruded beyond the shape of the forehead a little. If they gave the head a nice thick white outline, it should look better on a dark background.

Burmy Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 We can talk all day about who had that logo first...but I'm just glad to see Howard have their own unique logo now.

4_tattoos Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Well.... both Grambling & Georgia still use the same "oval G" as the Green Bay Packers. UGA definitely has the dough to come up with an original logo. As a matter of fact doesn't Georgia have several official alternate logos?

the_grateful_ted Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Yes I think it was last year or the year before, they got a whole athletic "unifying" rebrand. Got some snazzy updated bulldog logos and all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
