I like this one from 2020 a bit better:

Not blown away by the execution, but hope this trend continues. I'd love to see contemporary interpretations of classic, albeit sorta generic logos.

I think you're being generous. I feel like this whole thing has been a pretty big failure. A years long version of that week of late season NCAA basketball when Nike outfits a handful of teams in unis that generally suck and certainly unnecessary. Some new wrinkles on teams identities (even with the nicknames/alt identities) would've been exciting, but recognizable. Sure a team here and there would probably do something pretty out there, but would get roasted and that'd be that. I think a good measure of success would be seeing a few of these getting the "they should make those the primary!" debate going. I can't think of one coming close.

Agreed, no need, but you know it's a matter of time. Just saying I like it and it breathes from life into a stale, on the bleeding edge of dated logo.

Ugh. The reverse is much worse than the one posted on the mothership I could actually get behind this (just the NE mark) on a white helmet fauxback

Commanders is such and awful name. You just can't replace the colonized with a the colonizer's enforcers. So tone deaf. If you have to honor military (which seems like we have to in today's NFL, I'm still devoted to Redtails. No need to go overboard with the fighter pilot motif. Keep the feather on circle with either an R or a profile of a pilot. I know a lot of folks think that it'd bring up memories of a very offensive name/logo/history, but I think it actually reclaims it and over time replaces the memory.

The inspiration to tie-n to the skate culture: whatever. The execution: Real fellow teen/poochie understanding

The Ravens would benefit from a simplified blackletter number set so much

Still need to put a blue collar on that white jersey. I'd happily take a blockier number, but won't get greedy. Just give me the collar.

Not saying they wear Dodgers throwbacks, just use the pattern, which 99% of fans wouldn't connect to the Dodgers unless it was pointed out. As for the being about the city, that's the point. Use a subway tile inspired design with the windowpane as the architecture. And also, half of these teams are misunderstanding the assignment of "CITY". It's a dumb program that could be marginally better if they lifted a dumb name that doesn't mean anything.

The Mets really blew the opportunity to use the old windowpane plaid the Dodgers had. Ties in with the city's history and gives the perfect backdrop to a subway tile mosaic treatment. This doesn't have to be that hard.

You might want to see a urologist

Incredible. Start the countdown to that replacing the robohorse in 5 years

The most recent of those was the Panthers in the 90s, most of the others 50 years+. Notice the pattern? Trademarks and lawsuits have all but made this trend a non-starter.

Putting on my tin foil hat for a moment, Nike seems to have a knack at putting out sets that garner 40-60% approval, leaving 40-60% wanting more. City Edition/Connection is another lane of the highway. A large majority of their clientele is living in the petri dish. There's a vibe of planned obsolescence in what they produce. Capital Rules Everything Around Me.

MC Neal's first three albums were stellar

Make this weirdo helmet happen. I was endlessly intrigued by these coaches jackets when I was a kid.

I submitted Oxen, Unique, region appropriate, a variety of ways to go thematically (pioneers, tough aggro, stoic, single or a team). Utah Oxen rolls off the tongue in a pleasant, sing-songy way. "the Ox" is a nice sub-nickname, too. And lets get a primarily brown colored hockey team!

Hey. Don't gloss over that the easter egg is a beaver. And there's some nice, uniquely arched type om there too.

Oregon has a unique design on either side of our flag. I think that gets us in the top 5.

The Lakers should be the first team to jump on this. The perfect bridge from the two tone blue hardwood classics and a modern city edition, which have often been real stinkers. I'd much rather see a rotation of Yellow/Forum Blue/White/ LAvender (sorry) and occasionally Black

They really are missing the boat. They could even do a modern, non-traditional look emphasizing wrought iron and tarnished brass with a lot of ornamental frippery and it'd be miles ahead. And that's coming from a instinct to just go back to the expansion look.

I'm old and probably thinking of 2K14

Counterpoint: That's polished gold brick gold. The current color is more representative of the gold being pulled from the earth as the name refers. Better yet a dirtier old gold like the Saints wore would be more fitting than the champagne adjacent color now.

It finally hit me as to what these nike uniforms look like: it's video game renderings. Always something that bothered me about them. even the best games, is that the unis have an uncanny valley vibe. Numbers too small, trim too weird, player names always "off". What if Nike's team is full of people that spent more hours playing 2K or The Show than they did watching baseball. It could explain a lot.
