BBTV Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Not sure why part of Riding Elvis’ coat is red, but at least he’s more patriotic than Pat Patriot. They even kinda used the Patriots font. Still an upgrade from the idiotic 87ers brand. "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

WSU151 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 "We'll be the Blue Coats, but our logo will be a guy wearing all red." Pat Patriot is wearing more blue than this guy on the horse. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadSeed84 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I really like the name, like 100x better than the 87ers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerws Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I understand the red highlights, but a lighter blue may have been a better choice with a red border. The font is bland. I'm surprised that the Sixers scripts didn't get used. Overall I'd say 6/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pharos04 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 There's a lot going on with the website, wow Definitely don't hate the rebrand as it's less clunky than "87ers" and isn't just a copy of the 76ers logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopard88 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 The name change brings them into line with the rest of the teams in the Wilmington area (Blue Hens, Blue Rocks) . . . and it sounds better than 87ers.

panthers_2012 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 So much better than 87ers. I feel like the uniforms need a splash of red, but overall an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I need that script logo from the court on the uniforms. Otherwise this looks fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnWis97 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 87ers made a lot of sense, but, to steal from an above post, it was just to clunky. My initial reaction was "nice minor league logo" but some of the criticisms (Patriots font and almost Elvis, the coat is actually red) are true. If they were going to go with this logo, they were kinda SOL on the coat color. If they reversed it, the coat would be blue, but most of the logo would be red, probably resulting in more reaction from people that are not us. Not a fan of the white uniform. The Blue one is Solid, but needs more red. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

The_Admiral Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 87ers was a cumbersome name but ye gods that logo is bottom-half Concepts folder stuff. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoknight Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I get that they're tying back to the major league affiliate, but that 76ers logo looks absolutely horrid in this logo. Nothing about the Delaware font matches the retro look of the 76ers. And the "Blue Coats" font makes me think TCU or Oklahoma State. Great renaming and the logo is professionally done. But the details throw this thing off a bit. 7/10 overall. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.

I suppose the argument will be made that it's Caesar Rodney and not Revere. But it's pretty damn obvious it was copied. Why not just take it from the Delaware Quarter?

C-Squared Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 That font is "Legend M54," which was born to be paired with a stolen, red-coated blue coat logo. My TeePublic Shop My Instagram Art Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
