That is so disorientating “disorienting” was the word I was looking for. Lol

They went nuts with the radius tool. Bold.

“Ebble Wimble” is hilarious. Now I wish I’d seen it. Sounds like something you’d say while chewing on rocks.

You’re hired.

Yeah, the logo looks so out of place. They could’ve at least given it a vintage/worn treatment for the shirt. But I’m afraid even without the context of the worn-out shirt, the logo would still look odd next to that font. They might need to tweak the logo a bit if they want to actually pull off the look they are going for.

About 10 years ago, the Undertaker came in to my place of work. He’s a massive human, so he naturally stands out in a crowd. But he had a buzz cut, and people didn’t initially recognize him without his hair. Some of my co-workers grew up idolizing him and were naturally hyped when they realized who it was. My buddy was pacing in the back, and I tried to get him to go say hey to him. He said, “what am I supposed to say? Hello ‘Mr. Taker,’ big fan?” I talked to him as he was checking out, and told him the guys in the back are freaking out you’re here. They are die-hard fans. He just laughed and said, “oh, another failed disguise.” He came across as a genuine and humble dude.

Seeing the fan shirts the Nuggets had laid out for Game 1 had me thinking -- what if they adopted more of an Avalanche-esque color scheme?

Ah thanks, I missed that.

Is it just me or does the new helmet decal look slightly bigger than it used to?

I’m over here having an existential crisis.

Saw on one of the Okstate message boards I visit that “new helmets are also coming but are not in yet.” Makes sense because these had no helmet bumper in the pictures, and there isn’t much attention paid to the helmets in this release. And all of the helmets shown have already been worn.

I agree with all of this. For the helmets, the Cowboys script has always been a Cowboys basketball thing. It was cool as a one-off but I'm not liking it over the OSU brand logo. Pete has always looked a bit awkward on the helmet due to the shape of the logo. Our OSU brand logo is perfect on the helmet. This return to a traditional look would make for the perfect time to dial back the logos used on the helmet and stick to using the brand logo across the board. For anyone interested, this is what the numbers might have looked like if they matched the wordmark. I think they would need a little more width and weight for a football uniform. As is, the numbers being tall and skinny might've made it difficult to pull off with the wordmark and numbers already being so low on the jersey.

That's my favorite part too. I'm an Okstate alum and have been wanting the two white options for years. Always made more sense than having a gray jersey. My main issue is with the template for how low the wordmark and numbers are on the front of the jersey. Wish we could scooch it up a bit.

It was intended more as a play on words. I agree they’d have to incorporate those as a throwback if that happened. They did throwback to the original set a few years ago, so that was the closest we’ve seen to that era for PHX in modern times. I prefer the western font over these though since it added some flair to an otherwise simplistic look.

If they go back to the throwback, they won't have a good throwback left to throw back to.

Bottom right was designed by @Htown1141. He'd posted it over on the concepts board. https://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/126762-dawg-pound-logo-design/#comment-3338528 My vote was still with @VDizzle12. Bummed to see his entry didn't make the cut. Happy for H-Town though -- well-deserved! Hope he wins at this point. I'm liking bottom left for being different. I think it would pair nicely with a new Brownie the elf logo done in a similar style. It'll be embarrassing if that middle logo wins.

JR Smith looks like he’s about to float off into space.

Looks great with the blue. Good call. The helmets almost look like they might’ve been going for a candy paint look — which would be cool for Houston.

Agree. And I'll add that Oregon has a color palette that made it work. Colorado's earthy tones do not provide the splash of color needed to pull it off. All they can really do is use different finishes on their helmets to try to give it some pizzazz, but I don't think it's nearly enough to compare to what Oregon has done. Guessing this all means we'll see a gold chrome helmet, which will look cool and all, but it doesn't make them Oregon.

Yours is better in my opinion. The neck on hers is bigger than its head, the CLE feels too forced, the mouth is way too far back, etc. Hoping you win!

A tale as old as time. Sheep cried… err no. Boy cried wolf. Or something.

Those were better. You can actually read the numbers. Agree on the helmet. Side note, I really like the chevron bar patch they wear on their regular uniforms as a nod to Jack Trice and this look.

The synchronized movements were almost like an interpretive dance. Uniform reveals have come a long way. (Kind of.)
