Billy B Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Seeing the logos side by side, the new one is much better. I think it would be great if they went without the swooshes in the mane, but it is an upgrade in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braden Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 This update reminds me of the Cardinals, kept the concept but modernized it just enough.Great stuff. Looking forward to the uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger77 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I wasn't sold on it at first, but after seeing DP's larger version, I like it. I wouldn't call it an upgrade exactly, but I don't hate it. It could've been much worse.Likewise. PotD May 11th, 2011looooooogodud: June 7th 2010 - July 5th 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 If this is the real deal, and it certainly seems to be, congratulations to the Lions. A significant upgrade over what was an absolute train-wreck of an identity package. It simply hadn't aged well. Let's hope that the changes to Detroit's game uniforms are just as nice.

GFB Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Color me unimpressed...To me, this just isn't working. I still see the same horse-lion-creature. I think the main problem is that you have the flowing mane streaks, yet you still have the rough, jagged outline of the main. Which one is it exactly?Maybe it will grow on me when I see a high-res version, but for now count me in the "downgrade" group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seahawk9 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Reduced: 61% of original size [ 838 x 797 ] - Click to view full imageNice new logo. Better than the Bubbles Blob logo but not as good as the winner of the logo contest in the Detroit newspaper. That one is better detailed and more fierce looking.

patsox Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 From another board...any legitimacy to this? linkmod deleted, see reasons aboveIf that is indeed legit, then it is basically a lateral move. Nothing really changed that much. They added a few lines here and there, switched to another wordmark that isn't going to stand the test of time, and switched to some random sans serif numbers. Everything else is essentially the same. I really wish they created an entirely new logo and wordmark along with completely different jerseys instead of this.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 If that's it, again, what was the point? It's moderate change for the sake of moderate change that will just be outdated in another seven to ten years. I hate the wordmark, logo, and uniform because none of them are better than what they had before they stupidly added black. What a joke. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate the wordmark, logo, and uniform because none of them are better than what they had before they stupidly added black. What a joke.Strong words DG, I happen to REALLY like the updated logo, it's an update on a classic logo that, IMO, won't be out-dated in 5-10 years. I did get a quick glance at the jerseys Proc posted, and I have to say, if that's what the Lions are going with, I'm impressed. I think the Lions actually did something right here. I love the new logo, and I love the new wordmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy B Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Well, that was anticlimatic. I like that they kept the same jerseys, but I think it would be better if they gave them a small modernization like they did to the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raz Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I think it's interesting that, just as the 49ers are apparently abandoning the outline-drop shadow combination, the Lions are adopting it.New helmet logo's nice, wish they had dropped black, hate the wordmark and the uniforms are a big "meh".

JQK Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Like the logo.Like the wordmark. It's different, it's ledgible, and it's not copperplate or a "cards-falcons-ravens" type of generic wordmark.Dislike the uniform. Wasted opportunity to make a decent jersey.Dislike the jersey numbers. Stay Tuned Sports Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 On that alleged leak, The Lions' facemask is depicted as black. I thought the revision was going to dump the black facemask. Just something to consider regarding the alleged legitimacy of that.

I have seen nothing that suggests that. As far as those uniforms, if legit, nothing to be excited about. They are better than what they had this past season, but not much different. They look A LOT like my lions uniform concept from years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
