Like Jacksonville, the original set isn't bad, but found its groove after a few seasons of fine-tuning. It always bothered me as a kid that a team with a home run mascot-able name like "Ravens" chose such a stoic, unspectacular crest as their primary logo. This original set had a drab visage that felt more at home as the antagonist team in a late 90's football movie than on an NFL field. Clearly, its up for debate, but I've always felt their 2nd attempt was a major upgrade. Stoic, drab, unspectacular...like the poem "The Raven," at least till the narrator goes crazy. I think the inaugural set was a good tribute to Poe. You could almost see that crest upon the House of Usher or the grounds of the royal family from "The Masque of the Red Death." Perhaps it could have built to something spectacular somewhere on one of the uniforms, but an over-the-top design would've been anti-Poe and, thus, against the inspiration for the team name.

1937redskins Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 the fact they they changed pants stripes in year 2 makes all the excuses about the Rams not changing yet,a bunch of bull. theres no rule about time frame to get new uni's. its when ever they feel like it. they do it with every expansion team in every sport now.At least since the 90s. the initial uni is intended not to last more than a couple years so they can get people to double down, buying new merch.

dont care Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 they are allowed to make minor changes. Also this was back in the 90's where the rules weren't as strict and didn't have league wide apparel deals to deal with. Changing a pants stripe changes nothing merchandise wise for teams.

They actually put an abundance of toppings on a pizza as opposed to 2 pieces of pepperoni on each slice of a whole pizza. They use less salt than a chain joint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I don't think stuffed crust pizza is that good of an idea in any situation, but if you let it get a little closer to room temperature before eating it, its a nightmare. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phutmasterflex Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Sidebar since the Jags were brought up and their identity issues. They kept making all these odd minor changes. They had this in their first year. Great solid looking number font. Then in a couple years, they changed that font, adjusted the pants stripes and added a one-year only black side panel. And after that font switch, their numbers on the road whites went from teal to black. Oh and they wore these black pants for one season and one season with these white pants. Go A's!

A fitting tribute to a dreary poem does not a great uniform make. Their current set is a much more appropriate middle ground.
