hugevolsfan Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I still think the linework isn't thick enough, especially the outside border. It's a slight improvement, but still not that great of a logo.+1 on border part but overall it is nice update to a classic logo I wish the jags would have done something similar My Fictional Football League Version 3 My Fictional Football Leagues WebsiteMy Church Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 If only the Dolphins would do something similar....From a $$ standpoint, I don't think fans will go out and buy a new hat just because this logo is on it.thats not the point. it's to make the logo work better in a variety of mediums, and more aesthetically pleasing (or just drawn better as in the hair).. they've made it better in a few areas and will most noticeably be a better reproduction in embroideryYeah, I think they're to be commended. They could have made larger changes to spur merchandise sales, but they resisted. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Funkatron101 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 One guy on Facebook, who claimed they "ruined the best logo in pro sports!" told me to "settle down" because I noted that some people just hate change and that this will likely bring more consistency in various applications...lol Fans.

That won't ever end well. Keep the focus on the design itself. Your second point was much better. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

TheOldRoman Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 That is much, much worse than what the Vikings went with. And it's too vertical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That won't ever end well. Keep the focus on the design itself. Your second point was much better.I certainly meant no malice behind it. But I do think an experiment of posting the same old logo and claiming it was "new and revised" would produce an interesting response. Most would say "what changed?" just like many did with this one. But I would bet there would be a few "traditionalists" who would say they didn't like the change. Heck, you are getting people saying it looks like a cartoon (in a negative way). Seriously, the changes aren't that drastic. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyAnna Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I love it, too. They found a way to update it, yet keep it classic like it has been for over half a centuryThat makes it a perfect update.Agreed. It's exactly what they needed to do. This and Cardinals' update have to be the the two best facelifts in NFL logo history.Agreed, though I would also put the 1997-2012 Dolphins facelift in that category as well. It's too bad the Patriots didn't follow this route. The Pike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I know you didn't intend to be rude, but you kinda were. That's why I don't think it's ever a good reason to talk about the reasons why people like something - it's too personal, and you can never know for sure. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

BlueSky Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 If only the Dolphins would do something similar....You want the dolphins to make a change that 90% of the world wouldn't notice? Seems pointless.From a $$ standpoint, I don't think fans will go out and buy a new hat just because this logo is on it.That is flat out wrong if you're talking about this Vikings thing.It's closer to 98%. Seriously, if you lined up about 10 Norsemen logos and made every other one the newer version, 9 out of 10 people wouldn't notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeypower Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Fun fact:Actual Vikings never wore horns on their helmets. Greek and Roman historians wrote about warriors from the North with horned helmets, which was just an exaggeration used to make them sound scarier for their stories.Think about it this way, If your career involved hand to hand combat, would you want what is basically a giant pair of handlebars attached to your helmet? It's the same reason why cops wear clip on ties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Yeah, I know, but the image is cool. Love this oneLove the horns being the same on helmet. Overall great workThose horns would be so much better on the helmet than the ones they're using. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
