  1. That's me, man. I hate fun. You let people have fun, the next thing you know, they'll be listening to that damn rock & roll music and then...dancing. Might as well put a brothel on every street corner.
  2. Are saints. Yours on the other hand... I mean, seriously, is this the kind of responses we're giving now if there's disagreement?
  3. Regarding my "glorify" part, it's called "sarcasm". BUT, if you want to get technical, there were people who were nicknamed "49ers" who participated in the gold rush. That makes sense. There's no relevant reference to 32 other than the trivia note that was the WTF, er, WFT establishment year. On the serious side, 32s is just is incredibly lame, IMHO. Just can't see it polling well in fan surveys.
  4. That's actually a logo from the TESS website...registered last week.
  5. Who wants to glorify a year in the height of the Great Depression? It just sounds lame and most people outside of diehards won't know what it's referring to.
  6. I was playing with the color combos and I think this fixes the issue, IMHO. It provides consistency with the secondary logo as well as the original. The white inside the logo is just too stark and doesn't match anything else. The color change ties everything together better.
  7. Now that looks like a logo and not clip-art.
  8. Has anyone else noticed the inconsistency with the Mauler's logos? The primary led me to believe they dropped silver from the color scheme because it's purple, orange and white. But the secondary is purple, orange and silver with no white. What gives? And was this an uncaught error?
  9. Funny how tastes vary. IMHO, I absolute hate, loathe and despise the Maulers logo. It and it's secondary look like clip-art. I guess I'm one of the few that actually like the original Maulers logo, which, dated as it was, kind of fit back in the day. On the other hand, I think one of the better logos is the Stars. I didn't hate the old logo but felt it was too dated, too busy and it just didn't stand out well on the helmet. The new design simplifies it and makes it a little clearer...plus I kind of like the yellow-orange-red transition. The bell logo design is okay, but making the main logo coloring "fade" looks really, really forced to me. One thing I noticed this morning is, on top of how lazy the Gambler's secondary "H" is, the "H" font is similar but clearly doesn't match the primary "G". All-in-all, the modernized logos underwhelm. It's like they all have potential and were at some state from the initial concept to final execution when their refinement stopped.
  10. True, his was better. What I meant when I called it a direct ripoff was the horse's pose (just changed which leg was bent and which is extended), and everything else is like a trace of a poor-quality copy.
  11. But that's the unknown. We really don't know if they'll use the entire horse like the original version did on both the helmet and logo-wordmarks, or if it will be the head only.
  12. The one logo I think of as an upgrade is the Stars. I always felt either the Stars or Stallions needed a third color added to differentiate them since they were both red and gold. I've tinkered with the Stars logo and felt like adding black or navy blue helped, but I think the orange is a good choice considering the star is changing from yellow to red and orange is in between on the spectrum.
  13. I wonder if Brandon Williams has seen this as it looks like a direct rip-off of his logo design for the A11FL Bandits.
  14. Other than the Stars logo, which I think improved, and the Gamblers logo which is virtually unchanged, the logos are a downgrade from the original classics, IMHO. The Panther head really looks weaker without it being solid...the head blends into the same-color background. The Stallions looks like a middle-school logo. There's nothing defining the bottom of the neck...how's that going to work on a helmet? The "B" logo looks like it took heavy inspiration from the Birmingham Steel. The Maulers looks like clip-art. The work definitely looks weaker than the original. That's some thoughts off the top of my head. Just really disappointed.
  15. While I understand why players wanted the sleeves shorter, I hate the look. Some in recent years looked like they were wearing tank tops. Maybe a solution would be to require short sleeves the length of a man's tshirt, with a stretchy tshirt under the jersey and padding that could have stripes. The other thing that is really starting to look bad is players wearing essentially bicycle shorts and tights underneath. Pants should at least cover the knee, as they do in the pic above. The monchrome unitard is just fugly.
  16. Sidney, I'm not trying to be picky but the logo is still off to me. There's something out of proportion that I can't put my finger on, but it's like my mind is seeing something that's partially cat and partially dog. I'm thinking it may be the top of the head and the ears that reminds me more of a dog barking than a cat roaring. I think you're on the right track, though.
  17. OMG!!! MY EYES! MY EYES! There were some around this time (another is the stupid Birmingham Baraccudas) that are just such a nightmarish eyesore that if I were player, I'd sue for PTSD. Seriously. Just...vomitus.
  18. I think I drooled a little.
  19. I absolutely love this concept. And the helmet. In today's world of wild helmets, I think it works as a legit option and definitely gives it a unique looks. I feel sorry for the Jags. Every time they work on a new uniform, the result is a forced-look, or a VERY weak effort like the version where gold was dumped from the uniform. It's like they don't know what to do with everything and it becomes a train-wreck.
  20. The first time the Gunslingers logo was revealed, I literally thought it was a joke. Seriously. They went as cheap as possible by snatching of a comedic design by a beat writer. I've always wondered if Rocky and Bullwinkle were friends of the logo's.
  21. AH! Okay, now that you've explained it, I see it.
  22. First, let me say I've enjoyed your series. You've presented some interesting takes on USFL updates and I really like your Bulls concept quite a bit! And just turning the Maulers' logo a bit so it appears he's leaning into the swing...that by itself is an improvement and well done! I don't mean tobe a jerk when I say this, but I'm seriously not getting the Stars logo. Is it supposed to be an arrow breaking through the star or maybe a space capsule? I'm honestly not sure what I'm looking at, which sounds harsh and maybe it's just me, but I like the direction you've taken it and just feel like come clarity might help.
  23. The goofy number font AND the whole "gel" look. The whole thing looks dumb. I didn't really miss the yellow and blue classics when they changed up to blue and gold. But these putrid things they have now make me yearn for the classic blue and gold which was immeasurably superior to the current set.
