BBTV Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 9 hours ago, Bucfan56 said: Why did the NFL absolutely insist for so long that they weren’t going to let the Rams mess with their set even despite the move? I mean, they ended up caving this season anyway on the uniforms, and anyone could’ve gauged that this was what the fans wanted from day one. Now we have a situation where the Super Bowl uniform set and logos that go with it are all throwback logos, and we have this entirely different set of logos in a different color scheme out there to just to muddle the whole thing up. They should’ve just let them recolor the Ram head logo to royal and yellow from the beginning and avoided this whole mess. Instead they tried to “protect the brand” and ended up just :censored:ing it up even worse. The NFL did allow them to change with the move - but they’d be subject to the normal rules and not be able to change again until year... 2(?) of the new stadium, not year 1. I dont think the the league was unreasonable, though I get that since the throwbacks were already in the rotation, it’s not the same as allowing two totally new designs to roll out within 5 years.

Their stadium is still there and the city would still like them back... San Diego hates Dean Spanos. They probably won't be accepted back unless the team is sold to somebody else. It has been, and continues to be, my prediction that the Chargers will go back to San Diego under future owners. Once they flop in the new stadium (especially as compared to the Rams, who will go there with a Super Bowl appearance, and perhaps a win, in their recent history), the other teams' owners will prevail upon Spanos to sell. And the team will be returned to San Diego by its new owners, who will be hailed as heroes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBC used the Browns' wordmark turned at a 45-degree angle to fit into the logo box. Unsightly. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only do they hate Spanos, but they're redeveloping the stadium into a campus site for SDSU with a smaller stadium for the Aztecs. The new owners will just do what Spanos should have done in the first place - build a new stadium on their own dime. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

San Diego hasn't given up on the NFL... they're just not waiting around for the NFL to realize it made a mistake. Here's what the new Aztecs stadium would look like built to NFL size (55-60k) in the future as it's designed to be expanded to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Akronite- Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 The Pats still have trashy duds but the Rams saved this Super Bowl from being atrocious, aesthetically at least. Rams (TB) - Chiefs or Saints - Chiefs would've been better, but the NFL had other plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know any other end zone in all of sports where the logo is so close to the word mark. I also think it is kind of weird that the Rams super bowl word mark is something they just cooked up for the coliseum this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Its the same as last year - but a million times better because the Eagles wordmark can only be center justified but they had to shift it over some to accommodate the logo. The Patriots is similar, but at least it's long enough to not be as glaring. Either way I'm really surprised that they don't have different options ready to go bsed on the matchups.

Ray Lankford Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Why couldn't the Rams have used a colored in version of the Rams head logo? Or is this a sign that he's not coming back when they make the switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why couldn't they color the Ram head and put the old school woodmark RAMS that they put in the Coliseum in 2016-2017? This new RAMS woodmark is terrible and bland. It wouldn't surprise me if the NFL stops coloring the end zones entirely with how boring their fields are becoming. Oh I miss the Super Bowls from the mid 80's - early 2000's when the fields were awesome with unique super bowl logos from year to year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
