Can’t say I agree on the Timbers’ kit. For me what makes it successful is the bold color contrast with the roses as well as the scale of them. In a league full of tonal and/or embossed kit designs, I think there’s something to be said about the Timbers going all-out with the rose print and having it be such a stark contrast from the base color. As for the size, I’ve said it before on here that I don’t think making the roses smaller really would’ve worked since they already had to create a gap for the sponsor logo. I think making the roses smaller would’ve just made that gap more noticeable, whereas now it’s at least somewhat natural with how the roses are placed and spaced apart.

 

As for the Revs, yeah, navy/white/navy would be so much better (ignore the sleeve patch & sponsor here, made this graphic before the kit was unveiled). 

Would like to see that logo without the circle, larger and with the the badge itself outlined in white.

I'm back once again... trying to get teams to stop doing stupid things with their crests.

You designed a badge, use it. 

 

Imagine if the Packers wrote "Green Bay Packers" around that G logo on their helmet.  This is the soccer equivalent and it's terrible.

100%. That change alone is a full point upgrade.

So they're going with long sanitary sock look huh?    Man, these would be half a grade better they just fixed the socks. Other than that, so far so good, especially Birmingham.  Pittsburgh went away from their original gray but it doesn't look bad. I agree with  @gosioux76  though, they should have gone with that secondary logo on the sleeve.

They probably noticed the error of their ways when they used the year the SB was played instead of the year the season started.

Oh dear lord, you've got to be :censored:ing kidding me. How the  do you not have all your branding sorted out before you reveal the damn brand?

Creating a fight-song in modern times? Good luck with that.  Fight songs that still exist (PHI, CHI, MIA, etc) have been been "grandfathered" into the fabric of those teams through time, shielded from ridicule by the armor of tradition.   'HTTR' was one of those fight songs (RIP).  I think it's easier to adopt a song like the Bills have with "Shout" or something that isn't hokey-ra-ra, otherwise you'll end up with some cringy fight song like Real Salt Lake.

You asked how that Stallion would work on a helmet. If they're trying to go for a full recreation of the old USFL, I would assume they'll end up trotting out a full-body horse that will go on the helmet, much like the original.

 

 

Would much rather have this minimal-style Stallion silhouette than the new "thick-border-syndrome" logo. Not that the latter is a bad one but it has that style of horse that feels like it's been used a million times before.  Maybe if the streaking horse of the current iteration was more like the Baltimore CFLers (Stallions) streaking style with no shadows, I'd like it a little more.  Shout out to SMU & Calgary Stampeders for arguably the best silhouette- style horse logo in the game

Am I the only one that doesn't think the Colts look right in blue facemasks? I Don't know if I just don't feel like they work with the more traditional aesthetic of the uniform or what, but I think gray is perfect for them.

 

If we want to talk about a team with a white helmet that could (and should) pull a blue facemask off, let's talk about the Bills.  They wore that look from the late 70's through the mid 80's, and it worked much better with them than the Colts.

 

If only the Bills used those socks with today's edition of that style of uniform. I'd take blue stripes (opposite of sleeve stripes) but the red quarter works as well.

It could also be interpreted that the final 3 may not be on the list either.

I thought that at first since a couple might still be controversial for some reason (Warriors/Sentinels?) BUT I think they mean that no one's seen the final 3 yet.

It's gotta go with the the fight song, no?  "Hail to the ____ _____ ! ...." ?  Otherwise, it's another cool fight song down the drain. (RIP SD Chargers fight song).

It would look like this…

Ha! Aww, I was hoping for an actual rendering  of the actual logo with a T but I can picture it. Tennessee could claim the "T" is for both "Tennessee" and "Titans" which in my world is the exception to the rule.

Speaking of white facemasks, I watched the Bills tonight and couldn't stand theirs... If they really don't want to go grey anymore they should consider blue. White masks and helmets are looking weird along their "classic" uniforms and the Dolphins already own white/white in the AFC east...

The Bills could easily match these but even if they did, they'd  never look like this good.  Days of socks looking that clean and balanced are pretty much gone.

this is my favorite logo of theirs

I actually like really like the "boat" and "warrior" logos but always thought letters in logos should  represent the city and not the nickname, especially if the symbol reppin' the nickname is already there. Wonder how both logos would look like with a "T" instead of an "A".

On the 2021 sideline attire front, New Era released all the sideline hats this week and they're using this alternate logo for the Ravens, which does look better as a hat logo than the regular helmet logo. 

 

It's kind of reminiscent of the 90s Hawks and Timberwolves logos and current Grizzlies front-facing mark, but I sort of wish they'd use it more:

 

Ahh the mid '90s.  Birth of the "thick-dark-borders" on logos.

Very interesting to see these listed as sideline hats.

 

 

 

I've always felt that the Giants should revisit THAT logo and uniform which they only used once in '75.  Of course I always welcome the TB's orangecicles.  No problem with the Randall era Eagles set but would love to see Jaworski era threads that uses no black.

I didn't watch that game but I remember being glad Miami won. I never liked the Cowboys and I've always loved the Dolphins' color scheme. (And their logo, till they peeled its poor face off.) I was nine and had basically just become interested in football within the past month. I was at my great-uncle's house for Thanksgiving. 

 

Was this the game that Marino tore his Achilles heel in? I know the Dolphins won because of something involving Leon Left, and it was both their last win and the Cowboys' last loss of the season. 

 Marino injured his achilles in week 6 @ Cleveland. Steve DeBerg started this game @ Dallas (week 13).

Sucha nightmare season  . Remember it like it was yesterday.

What are you planning on doing with the graphics once you create them in Photoshop? I am a fan of the PL, La Liga, Bundesliga, UEFA's UCL and Euro qualifying graphics. Serie A needs an update for sure. I wish MLS had an identity package instead of native station packages.

Actually, MLS does have their own proprietary package.  You can see it on MLS Live (channel/website/media) or in FIFA '18.  They're one of the few leagues that have their signature package in the game. 

oh, I love this thread. 

For me, NFL on NBC (1990-1994). The font, the helmets, line-ups, game-updates/breaks...my favorite.  Really enjoyed how things like the line-ups were subtle and were adjusted based on a certain formation. I think I prefer the minimal stuff than today's photo or live clip of a players torso on a stat line or line-up.
