The Jaguar would have to be walking backwards for that to be the case

If my jaguar was as ugly as that helmet, I'd shave its butt and tell it to walk backwards.

Looks like a legitimate draft hat leak; I assume they won't go on sale until early April. 

 

Kinda like them; glad the Bengals are using this logo more vs. the B.  New Era most likely didn't want a BeBals look. 

Not my style, but a pretty solid design. Will definitely be interesting to see how all the letter logos work out though. Those could be rough.

Good to know that their ransom emails will have a new logo at the top.

You're going to need to be more specific. Riley was a DB. A lot of different guys threw him the ball.

Well I'm an idiot. Disregard.

Ken Riley: Yes. Another one that is long overdue. If Riley had played for the Cowboys, Raiders or Steelers, he would have gone into the HOF a long time ago.

How long until they put in the guy that threw him the ball?

I feel sorry for Ossai. He's gonna catch all sorts of crap, and you can tell he already feels terrible. But man what a dumb way to lose a game.

Good for Tulane. One of the best color schemes in sports, and they knock off that classless cocky bastard Caleb Williams? I may have to start following them more closely.

Major Tuddy

 

What an embarrassment

 

 

A hog mascot makes sense, and was the best of the options they gave. Everything else about this is dumb.

The mascot of the Commanders of course has the rank of... Major?

WTF is "Tuddy"?

Why is he wearing a WWI Doughboy helmet?

Why is he wearing the old uniform with Commanders slapped on the chest? We get the reference to the Hogs; you don't need to be that on the nose.

All the rigging that they have been doing for years for bigger teams would bite them back on the ass when specifically a lower team goes to win it all... irrelevant now that the playoffs are expanding but imagine if they didn't... they would be embarrased.

So they're supposed to be embarrassed that they made the right decision this year by putting TCU in? What?

Fun fact: The ACC has won more football national championships since 2013 (3) than the Big Ten has since 1971 (2.5). I’d actually be really interested in a documentary or long form on the mythology of the Big Ten / how they’ve leveraged what’s mostly the Ohio State brand into this power position.

That is a fun fact! Then there's also Penn State and Nebraska winning titles in that timeframe before joining the Big Ten, only to become shadows of their former selves after joining. Will be interesting to see if USC follows this trend.

Anyway, go TCU. Give this season the fun ending it deserves.

Here is my take on @burgundy's suggestion to be asymmetrical. I studied the old logo and think they may have tried to hide a MW in a four peak range. I think this is SUPER interesting, but may be too abstract for it's own good. But I felt good enough to try it in team colors.

 

I think there is definitely a W to be found in the shadows on the right. Maybe it would be more recognizable with fewer zags in the mountains? And maybe have the lit peaks on the right touch the outline?

This kind of blew up on twitter but check this out

Obviously my thinking was making an MW in the shape of a mountain. Inspired by the Big XII's bold look with easy variation for team colors. The M definitely fits better to the shape, but I played around with making it as symmetrical as I could without compromising either letter.

Would love to hear thoughts!

A very nice start, but I think making it so symmetrical is hurting it. I think using the mountains of the old logo as a basis for the new shape would help. The extra peak on the right side is perfect for the middle of the W.

I'm not celebrating until a sale is finalized. And I hope we're not holding a monkey's paw, and end up with someone that's somehow just as bad or worse. Here's hoping Elon is too busy burning down Twitter to pay this any attention.

But they look basically the same

You're new here, so you don't yet know the level of minutiae we focus on, but that statement is pretty much heresy in these parts.

What moron thought it was a good idea to put ND-UNLV behind a paywall? Nobody is going to subscribe to Peacock for that.

The sections of jersey in these cards have the wordmark of the old name, but Chase Young never wore a jersey with that wordmark on it. Any image of him in the old jersey is photoshopped. Washington dropped their name between drafting Young and him actually wearing a jersey, and thanks to the pandemic there's not even any pictures of him holding up the old jersey.

These "game worn" jersey cards are a scam.

Michigan has the best uniforms in the country. 
 

love that they’ve found out a good way for alternates that are just simple color swaps. Seems to be an unpopular opinion but I love the white pants with the away uniform. Not too maize-heavy, and the stripes mimic the back of the helmet nicely. 

Their regular blue/maize uniforms are in the conversation for best uniform. These bland, monochrome unitards are far from it. I even like the white pants with the away jersey, but these blue pants are just terrible, home and away.

Doesn’t the NFL give exceptions to the 5 year rule if there’s an ownership change? If so, I’m hoping Snyder gets the boot even if for that and only that reason. 

That would be great. The biggest problem is that the most likely person to become the new owner is Tanya Snyder... who is the one that designed the uniforms.

I actually work for a sponsor of the Commanders, so I got all the logos and style guides when they came out. They didn't even include the helmet logo or have it in their style guide. On any burgundy background, it's the burgundy W with gold outline. 

It really shouldn't be a surprise that this incompetent franchise doesn't understand how stencils work.

I'm still waiting for them to start selling burgundy hats with the gold W. Like the first secondary logo shown.

So I just checked for the first time in a few weeks, and they actually are finally selling a hat with the helmet logo:

About damn time.

I'm still not buying one, because  Dan Snyder.

EDIT: They're also selling one with yet another colorway that isn't even in that mess from above, because sure, why not.

Why would they sell hats that match the helmet? That's just absurd.

I don't know why Washington didn't wear burgundy socks tonight, that would've been a decent look compared to the trash we got.

Same reason everybody else wears white socks with white pants. Kids and morons love the icy white yoga pants look.

Also, they kinda deserve to look like trash as long as Snyder owns the team.
