    I don't know who they hired to draw that shield. It had to be someone who just opened Adobe Illustrator for the first time ever or a live trace of something. Those top 3 points drive me insane. What's even crazier is that the alternate shield, with basketball lines, is actually drawn fine and has sharp lines. Both need to go regardless. 

     

     

    Well…..Not exactly.

  2. Maybe it’s a subtle hint of what’s to come or maybe I’m just reading too much into it, but I think the shade of gold in the text of this AIM away message the Cavs posted before signing off for the holiday weekend doesn’t match their current palette. Hmm.

  3. Thought it was odd that the Cavs wore their city edition last night, but didn’t use the corresponding court. They are wearing the city set again on Wednesday, but then have 3 more home games in next 5 days where they are wearing other uniforms. Wonder if they just didn’t want to swap courts during a homestand.

     

    EDIT: Update! The Cavs’ city court is done for the year because of…water damage???

    The only logical explanation is that the current look isn't moving merchandise. It's possible, with the depth of sales analytics tools these days, that teams might have more insight into whether updated branding is hitting its mark.

     

    Not suggesting I agree with it. I love the Hawks' current look. Just considering plausible reasons behind the decision. 

    It’s possible, but given the lead time needed for uniform changes, they would have had to start designing almost as soon as their current set was unveiled.

  5. “Rip City” is fine. Why the Blazers keep putting out uniforms where it is spelled out “ripcity” with no space, I will never understand. “ripcity” looks like a failed late-90s tech startup that went under when the dot-com bubble burst.

  6. The Guardians uniform mockups when the team announced the new name showed their winged-G baseball logo on the sleeve. https://www.audacy.com/923thefan/sports/cleveland-indians/first-look-at-the-new-cleveland-guardians-logos-and-uniforms

     

     

    Would that be allowed by MLB? 
     

    MLB rule 3.03g:

    No part of the uniform shall include a pattern that imitates or suggests the shape of a baseball.

    another thing of note is that the cavs are using the number font from their pre-nike jerseys :

    Yeah, for whatever reason, the Cavs have stuck with the old number font on their practice and summer league uniforms the past few years. The old font isn’t great—and it especially clashes with the rest of the current look—but at least those numbers are more legible than the current font.

  8. One of the things that stood out to me in the 2020 redesign was the wonky serif on the bottom of the 7. I assumed it was a “Nike being Nike” thing, but apparently there was a historical precedent with the 1946 uniforms. *cue NBC’s “The More You Know” jingle*

    Worst Champions t-shirt ever?

    I thought it was kinda odd for the design to put the focus on Milwaukee being 2x champions. Technically, it’s correct, of course, but the other title was 50 years ago.

    Making everyone wait another 19 days to see a uniform that already leaked? Seems like a waste of time.

     

    Anyway I wonder if they intentionally tweaked this image to throw people off. The numbers look really bright, especially since they are going to be brown with an orange drop shadow.

    That’s the current number font, not the more traditional block font that was on the throwback that leaked. Messing with the brightness and color levels, that looks like an orange alternate. Hmm…

  11. I don’t mind the Jets’ current set, but the football in the helmet logo just looks so out of place. Everything else in their current look is sleek and angular, and the football with its rounded edges looks bland and dated.

  12. The timeline is a little hazy, but a new logo and uniforms are on the way for the Cavs:

    Separately, I’ve heard that the team is phasing out navy and going with wine/gold/black/white. This makes sense, as if you look closely, their primary court this season is limited to those colors (the drop shadow on the logo at center court is black instead of navy).

    Are any NFL games actually broadcast in 4K?

    Fox did the Thursday night games in 4K through its app and a couple providers, but that was about it. Hopefully the other networks start to get on board soon.
