It would take a mammoth of a contract for the NFL to compromise their logo, atleast when Goodel is commish. My information on this came directly from someone that was involved in the negotiations. As valuable as the real estate is on the front, the value of two logos over one was higher to Nike. This was long before the financial terms were agreed upon.

In addition to being ugly, the captaincy title doesn't seem to mean all that much. It's an honorific that means little other than who gets to participate in the coin toss. At least in hockey, wearing the captain's "C" is sought after. The players affix meaning to it. So yeah, you could redesign it and make it look better. But it would still be pointless. ill throw a wrench in here then. i believe the Captains are voted for by the players, so gaining the recognition and respect from your teammates plays a part. i also think theres something to being named a Captain that adds a little more pressure to the player. when you're a guy sporting the designation you officially hold that rank and are expected to live up to it GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is correct. The patches only show up on Packer uniforms in the playoffs, when players DO vote on captains. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I'd be okay with a small decal on the back of the helmet or something, but a big patch on the front of the jersey kind of ruins the whole point of a "team over individual" uniform. Not to mention it's incredibly ugly. What exactly does this patch tell us about Aaron Rodgers? He's respected by his peers. Okay. And that they've felt that way about him for a uncertain period of time that's undefined but at least half a decade in a row. It's just bad design, like they never considered any players would have careers longer than five years. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

You don't see it in hockey, and for good reason: it doesn't matter. Compare Rodgers, a 5x+ captain, to a young qb who is 2x captain...does it matter during the game? "Welp...Rodgers does have more gold stars, so I should give him the benefit of the doubt on more calls." Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

These patches are just poorly-designed visual symbols of that tradition. My TeePublic Shop My Instagram Art Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "G" on his helmet helps him quite enough as is..... *mumbles about the play before the stupid hail mary* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the real though, I don't mind captains patches. I just wish the NBA did it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed.. Or even the exact same C as the current patch, but without the box, stars, and outline.. Then it would be consistent league-wide without being such an eyesore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never comes true, but the jerseys are looking worse and worse especially since Nike took over. Even if it's not a full return to Kelly green, drop the black, update the number font...SOMETHING You're exactly right!! Think Cunningham era, light grey pants and that beautiful Kelly green, perfect!! Everytime l see the modern set, it just looks washed out. Dark green, with black!!l No pop!!! Even keep the modern wing, but actually, the number font isn't that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think the current uniforms, exactly as they are, but swapping kelly for their dark green, would look fantastic.. Maybe not their best possible look, but a pretty darn good one..

If they were to make this a full-time home or alt uniform - and they very much should - there's a great potential solution to the problem of a black logo on a black helmet: make the Falcon red. Obviously the same would have to go for the sleeve falcon. Make red and white versions of this jersey, and the Falcons would go from being one of the worst dressed teams in the league to one of the best instantaneously. As a side note, the Northwestern stripe in the background doesn't show up anywhere in the uniform. Why would they put that Northwestern stripe in the graphic? Very odd. Nah, see above, perfect.
