  1. The 49ers' black uniforms actually pre-date Color Rush. I think the black in the logo, as well as their history of black drop shadows is what allowed them to have black uniforms.
  2. If there's one thing I appreciated about Washington's new uniform reveal, it was their blunt honesty about why they made such a dumb decision.
  3. If I had a hog that was ugly as those uniforms, I'd shave his butt and tell him to walk backwards.
  4. That's a good thing. These are easily the best of the series. That A logo is the best logo they've ever had. It looks like a classic uniform with a few quirks, instead of wacky for the sake of wacky. The Dodgers didn't really get the memo either, and put in less effort. "Slap Los Dodgers on there and make the sleeves look sweat-stained. Done."
  5. Team Color Codes is a very poor reference for official colors. They not only get the current burgundy wrong, but they say Washington used the same shade from 1983-2020. They used three different shades during that time, with the one they reference being used from 2002-2015. They also used a brighter gold for most of that time. I do have questions about how well the fabric colors actually correlate to the Pantone colors though. When they darkened the color in 2002, the uniforms also seemed to get a bit darker, but the fabric color didn't seem to change in 2016 when they last darkened the Pantone color.
  6. They could, but they won't. The previous gold pants would look even better, but they won't use those either, and I'm not sure they even have them on hand anymore.
  7. It's still bad. The "Street Fighter" graffiti script in the lower part of the "6" should have been the logo. It has some issues, but at least it feels like a proper evolution of the logo.
  8. The only passable uniform combo they have. Unfortunately, the blank white pants keep it from actually being a good uniform combo.
  9. I never had a hat, but this was Notre Dame's X-line logo: It actually showed up on non-Zephyr merchandise too, like these WinCraft decals we had. This one includes a bonus rear view!
  10. The old logo is nothing special, but the new logo is giving me anxiety. The "l" tries to be too cute by following the curve of the "e", and just ends up looking bulbous and wonky. And then there's the "p"...
  11. While none of them are great, the Jags and the Panthers are easily the best, since black is a team color and the 80s/90s aesthetic works for both teams. The scripts also contrast against the color of the block letters, while teams like the Raiders, Steelers, and Saints get completely lost. The Bengals, Falcons, and Ravens also work pretty well for what these are. The rest are not good, and should be in team colors.
  12. Totally agree. This isn't a logo, it's a photo-realistic illustration. The rules of logo design have been completely thrown out and replaced with soulless and cluttered imagery devoid of creativity. I hate it.
  13. After seeing this mock-up, I have to say that many of these do indeed look stupid, and are objectively bad.
  14. Awful. It looks like a crappy MMA logo. And that's probably on purpose, since the supposed main character of SF6 is an MMA fighter. They're throwing away decades of brand recognition for a boring, generic logo, with a boring, generic MMA fighter as the face of the game.
  15. So in this picture the Gamblers are wearing the dark gray pants with their away jerseys. And in their reveal video, they show them wearing both the dark gray and the light gray pants, but the dark gray with white is actually labeled as the Away uniform. So are they wearing both pants, or did they screw up and give them the Bandits' pants for part of the shoot and not bother to fix it?
  16. The Washington franchise under Snyder has been to the NFL what Kraft Singles are to real cheese.
  17. A few years old, but still relevant. Super Bowls aren't everything (though he now has as many as Brees, Warner, and Rodgers), and your other metrics are subjective awards. Stats don't lie. Rothlisberger being a better QB than Stafford is laughable. He just had better teams.
  18. As someone who has been forced to watch the Lions on local TV, Stafford was the type of QB you spend on. Unfortunately, his best years were wasted while getting beat up in Detroit. But even at his current level of play I'd take him over Tannehill or Carr. The sudden flurry of penalties on that late drive was awfully stupid after barely calling anything all game. Both teams got away with much worse, yet they choose then to start throwing flags? But the Bengals had an opportunity to at least tie, and their line shat the bed. Sorry to all the long time Bengals fans; what a crap way to end the game. Congrats to all the Rams fans. And congrats on them winning in their best look.
  19. Well Mike Shanahan hasn't been portrayed by Greg Kinnear and Dennis Quaid in movies about inspiring underdogs. Maybe Mike will get in if they make a movie called "This One's For John!"
  20. The colors work pretty well in that mock-up. Definitely a better option than having two black alternates like they currently have.
  21. Not a bad idea. A nice subtle update that makes the branding more cohesive, even though only nerds like us would notice. If they wanted to get wild, they could do a desert gray alt, and I think it could be better than the black alts.
  22. Seeing the Cardinals in anything other than a gray mask just feels wrong to me. They're the only non-silver-helmeted team to never change to a colored mask. Yes, it looks terribly out of place with their current horrible uniforms, but here's hoping they go with a more traditional look. And the fact that they kept the gray mask while modernizing the logo and uniforms makes me think that they believed the gray mask was an important part of their history and identity. I hope they still believe that because if anyone in the league should be wearing a gray mask, it's the oldest team in the league.
  23. I'd pay for the opportunity to be the one doing the punching.
