So here is the thing...if you're gonna stay the "A's" and move to Vegas. The city connect should be so obvious... 1. Either you are putting the "A's" capital "A" in the corner of an enlarged playing card, with an elephant in the center (or) 2. Or your logo is an enlarged poker chip with the green/yellow dashes around the outside, and baseball stitches, And "A's" in the center of the chip Either way, back of the CC jersey should be a poker hand of 5 green/yellow/white [fanned out] playing cards, with the number in the center of the top one, and an "A" in the corners (for Aces).

Since we are here, I'd like to put in a vote for not listing any gender of any kind. I appreciate all-inclusiveness and all, but I don't see why it matters on a board like this one. Good logo design, good discussion on issues, good anything in sports, should not be relegated based on a gender. In the public forum (life), we've seen all manner of people be good at running businesses, playing different sports, being sports broadcasters, etc. I guess I get if this were a board discussing something like medical issues, how knowing a person's gender/preferred identification is relevant. But I think sports crosses boundaries, as does logo design, as does cooking, etc. And I would hope/think/feel we don't need to care about one's background as a person to know if an opinion is valid based on the topic at hand, or the facts present in the public space. We know (or should know) when to accept criticism/dismiss criticism of an idea, concept, etc. Sports in general, and design takes all kinds. (Remember the movie, What Women Want with Mel Gibson, Helen Hunt). Men, Women, and non-binary (for those who identify as such) should be able to have differing opinions, and do it with civility. In every discussion I've ever had on this board, I never felt that my sense of self (identification) was ever relevant, regardless of if my opinion was respected or not, or right or wrong. Hopefully, that is something we can all agree on.

I don't think the Pac-12 is going to survive all this. I predict a merger with the Mountain West eventually.

I just hope the Gators black unis are better than "Black for Black's sake". <reality sinks in....> Ok, they might suck rocks. But if it were me, I would go orange numbers, outlined in blue and then white, so they can be seen. Then, orange names on the jersies, outlined in white. Numbers on the sleeves to match the NOB. No gator sublimination. No scales. No nothing. Keep them clean. And for alternate sake's sakes, please let them go with an orange helmet, and just switch the Gator script from blue to black so the set matches.

Except, it doesn't LOOK like a home plate because of the rounded corners on 2 of the 5....minor aesthetic thing, but the eye sees it. Uhm, the Braves might argue with you. Their Braves/Tomahawk is an iconic logo (undertones aside). And for a number of years, there was just the lowercase "a". IIRC, even the powder blues usually said "Braves". True enough, the script "Atlanta" was there, but I think primarily only on the roads, and I think the 'Braves" was still preferred. Correct - he has introduced many things that make baseball worse (or not even baseball, to be honest). For example, starting an inning with a runner on second base is not baseball. Part of the game is to manage your 26 plyers better than the other team. Extra innings attrition forces you to do that. I'm sorry. I'm no interior or exterior designer, but the Rockies City Connects were the worst looking uniforms I have EVER seen, and that is saying a lot. IMO, I think they could have done something with 'Rocks' ' or 'Rox' with the Rocky Mountains, and been in a far better position than 9 meandering license plates.... But of course, just my 2 rusty Lincolns...

I'll believe that when I see it on the field.....

double post -- sorry (mods: please remove)

What if the other hub turns out to be New Jersey? They certainly have infrastructure....

Oh well, so my Bandits (the best logo, IMO) are gone. That sux, especially for a team that never got to play at home.....LOL But I found alternate logos in pretty decent sizes that were from season 1. I don't think we have ANY of the USFL 2022 logos up yet here on this fine site. (And now we get to add Memphis, oh boy) I think all the primary logos are the wordmark + logo combos, but I might be incorrect. Anyway, I think these are all the main alternates, although TB had 2 more (The "TB" lockup, and the Bandit head) , and I think Pitts had 1 more (the Mauler in the circle w/o the wordmark), Philly had the liberty bell alternate, and Houston had that "H" with the laces alternate, New Jersey had the "NJ" lockup alternate, Michigan had the panther head with no wordmark, Birmingham had the Stallion head with no wordmark.

Did anyone notice the 20 years of football logo for Coastal Carolina??? https://goccusports.com/news/2022/9/1/celebrating-20-seasons-of-coastal-football-first-football-game-in-program-history.aspx

Will be nice to finally see all of these logos on the field and under the lights. I've been searching the web for "clean" (i.e., .PNG or .SVG) graphics for the secondary/helmet/sleeve logos for all the teams. Anybody else found them?

I used to work for this company: Yeah, nobody at the company liked that logo. They changed it (eventually) to this: My point is simply that the "split X" (or x as a negative space) has been done before. It's not going to be confused, in my opinion. And even though I don't work for them anymore, I think the purple is WAY WAY better.

Being a long-time Braves fan, I disagree. In fact, this always bugged me. I like the red numbers outlined in white much better for the Navy alternates. Speaking of such things: 1. Does ANYONE out there know what color the "championship gold" Pantone/hex is? 2. Is the "championship gold" the same as the LA Dodgers used (or is it different for every team)? 3. Is the gold the same as the color on the Braves' tomahawk wrappings? (political aspersions, notwithstanding) I disagree. I think the Braves Red lettering is just fine this year with the championship gold. Also, on an unrelated note - I think the Astros city connect uniform is the best one released, hands down. Just a great all-around theme, look, NASA-lettering, etc.

Anybody wanna do a mockup of how bad the Eagles BLACK alternate helmets gonna look? Mockup posted literally same time as I asked the Q. Ouch..... -------------- Anybody see this news? Kansas Chiefs? in 2031? https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2022/3/29/23001804/chiefs-say-they-get-stadium-inquiries-from-state-of-kansas
