CreamSoda Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 The new hats do have the logo sans black. Looks like double blue for the light colors and silver for the blue merchandise: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That cap is a lids.com exclusive, doesn't say anything about new for this year or sideline cap. The only hats i've seen released are the draft hats. Could explain the black outline. Although the same cap, with the new Honolulu blue and blue outline would be pretty nice. It is not the new one, I own it since a while. It has been the sideline hat since New Era took over but the weird thing is the fact that it's still full price everywhere. That's why I asked if anyone had seen next year's version.

Probably will come out in June/July. Athlon's NFL preview magazine usually had pictures of them (though maybe not last year) and that is published in early June.

oldschoolvikings Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Some views of the helmet and new font on practice jerseys... Are they sewing the numbers on their practice jerseys? Does the helmet logo look slightly smaller? http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 They kind of look like a high school team who's using the Lions logo. I think it's the striping that's throwing me off. It doesn't really feel like the actual Lions yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sec19Row53 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 The white outline on the logo, where white ISN'T used on the helmet stripes, really grinds my gears. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't get why they didn't insert white in between the stripes. Nike is always doing things like that. Either their new uniforms are unbelievably terrible (Bucs, Browns, Jags) or they're pretty good and on the road to perfect, but with one or two inexplicable decisions that makes you go "ooo almost had it" (Vikings, Lions, Dolphins). Since taking over for the NFL they haven't unrolled a new look that I'd give an A. A few F's, D's, and then A-'s and B+'s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSU151 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 The two different grays on the numbers of the blue jersey are tricking my eyes into thinking the lighter gray is actually white, and the darker gray is the normal color. And I like the font too. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only true profile is of Laken Tomlinson, who's a massive, big-headed human. The second image has a near-profile, but that player is wearing one of the new, cartoonishly large helmets.

Midway Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I really, really dig this new helmet and I'm actually glad they left out the white in the stripes. It's already good northwestern stripe on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since taking over for the NFL they haven't unrolled a new look that I'd give an A. A few F's, D's, and then A-'s and B+'s. What I really notice is that the outline on the logo looks fine when the logo is large in scale, by itself, but when you see it in a photo or from any distance (the prime viewing platforms), the outline just makes the edges of the logo look fuzzy or blurry compared to everything else. It’s true that it “matches” the stripes in that it has two outlines, but the difference in scale of the outlines on the logo vs. the stripes ruins any semblance of harmony there. The funny thing is, people usually justify adding outlines by saying that it makes the logo/number/graphic “pop.” Sometimes, it’s true, but often, it’s the opposite, especially when working at a small relative scale. A solid blue lion with no outlines would have looked so much more bold and crisp here. On 5/25/2017 at 4:34 PM, oldschoolvikings said: I like the font, too, which I'm kind of surprised by.

The numbers are unique and well done, and they feel to me like they’ll age well. The wordmarks, on the other hand, are a different story; one of the clumsiest-looking pieces of type in professional sports.

I think it would have been even better to use a chrome trim on the numbers to coordinate with that face mask. The darker grey color doesn’t really show up anywhere else.

They've supposedly added a new color to their pallet but, on their primaries, it only appears as a thin trim around the numbers. It isn't a big leap to assume it was only added as an excuse to have that dark grey (and fairly ugly) color rush outfit. If they were so set on having a second outline around the logo, that dark grey would've been a better choice over blue. It wouldn't jump out as much and would add another dark grey element. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
