  1. The Miami Marlins have only been to the playoffs twice in their existence, in 1997 and 2003, and won their two World Series titles in those respected seasons.
  2. Yes, I also think they need black, but only as a trim color. They don't need to be a red and black team because we already have enough of those in hockey. Agreed. I would love to see some teams like Tampa Bay or San Jose go with something different. I love their jerseys but hate the logo. They could have easily just recolored what they had, despite what the owner or whoever was said when they were unveiled. I think they should've went with an entirely different identity when they left Minneapolis. I get the nod to the North Stars, but I've just never been a fan of what they later became (adding black for the most of it). I also think it looks incredibly weird that a Dallas-based team isn't using blue, but that's more of a personal perspective of mine. I still think their current look is the best they've ever looked as the "Dallas Stars". Also, I would've prefer if they went with "Texas" instead of "Dallas" because they're the only NHL team in their state. I'm excited to see Michigan Red Wings and the Massachusetts Bruins start up next season. Some teams can use their state name; Michigan and Massachusetts aren't one of them.
  3. Damn, I thought their rebrand was pretty successful. I hope their next rebrand is even better.

  5. I would prefer the blue caps with the green bills to have a green button on the top, but I do like the team's connections to the city. I still need to see the uniforms first before I give it a final grade.
  6. (Found it on Google... sure enough it was from CCSLC and a similar thread: http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/84264-jerseys-you-didnt-think-were-used-at-the-same-time/?p=1695713) This is unrelated to the thread, but going from red helmets to black helmets was a mistake by the Falcons.
  7. I wonder how that would look with a white outline instead of a navy outline.
  8. I still don't think the 76ers new uniforms are that much of an improvement over their previous ones.
  9. The thing I liked about Reebok were the shiny uniforms for teams that had metallic colors (silver, gold, etc.).
  10. I love the Brewers current identity. I've said this before, their ball-in-glove set just didn't scream "Brewers" to me and I personally think ANY team with the initials, M and B, could use that set. Not to mention that the set was fairly outdated to me. What they have now is clean, modern, and represents their name quite well. It has it's flaws, but they're too minor for me to consider the entire identity a "mess". IF the Brewers were to go into a new direction with their identity, I'd rather them start from scratch than bringing back the old ball-in-glove set.
  11. The Atlanta Hawks' winged logo is a great logo, even if it doesn't fit with their set.
  12. I honestly don't think those are that bad. It's just that their current set is far superior, in my opinion.
  13. In regards to the Lightning, all they need to do is use Dark Blue and Silver and then they're good. (Is that an unpopular opinion, too?)
  14. I like the Browns using only a helmet as a logo.
  15. The Ducks have never really had a great look IMO. I couldn't stand the wacky and cheesy "Mighty Duck" scheme at all and I think what they have now is significantly better. That being said, it still lacks in appeal and I do think they should blow the whole thing up and start over.
  16. It took me a while to get use to Miami's new logo as I grew up watching them with their old logo and it was hard for me to move on from it. The new uniforms are definitely an upgrade, I will say that.
  17. I think they're good, so long as they're not too generic.
  18. What? WHAT?! How dare you! (Just kidding ) It wouldn't bother me if anyone said it was overrated. That being said, I like to think it's one of the better logos in sports. The logos that I think are underrated and overrated both come from the same franchise. I think the Brewers current logo is underrated and their retro logo is overrated.
  19. I'm not sure if this was mentioned yet, but Andre Johnson (who has been with the Texans for his entire career) will be in a Colts uniform next season. It's one thing to go to another team, but it's another when you've been with one team for so long and then you join another team (who happens to be in the SAME division). That's going to look very weird if you ask me.
  20. If you take away the stripes from any jersey it's a blank jersey. The most intricately striped jersey is blank without any stripes. Not sure what you're trying to say there. I'd argue that the detailed logo pairs nicely with simple striping. Too many stripes matched with that logo would be visual overkill. They've worn these since the 30's. There's some historical context to why they're so simple or as you put it "generic". They were actually one of the first to adopt that template and the red sleeves on the aways are hardly generic. That so many other teams have borrowed the look since they created it is not their fault. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. It's not like these are a new design adopted by a 1990's Florida expansion team or something. Also, they tried a different number font and it lasted exactly one season. Well, I didn't say it was a "popular" opinion. And while I hear everything you said, the uniforms still bore me and I don't think of them as great just because they are classics.
  21. Don't get me wrong, these aren't really awful... but they are SO generic. They have very few stripes on their uniforms and taking away the stripes makes it look like a standard red sweater. I have said multiple times that the Red Wings logo is one of the best logos in sports, but it's so well-detailed and something so well-detailed like their logo being paired with those generic uniforms seems to me, out of place. I wouldn't have minded if they made a slight change to the number font or at least added an extra stripe, but these just aren't doing it for me.
  22. I think the Oakland Raiders have the most boring identity in professional sports and I wouldn't have a problem at all if they made big changes to their identity. Their logo is incredibly outdated (especially the Raider head) and their jerseys are absolutely dull (they're home jerseys are practically black t-shirts with duct tape number font). I still like the silver and black color scheme, however and wish for them to never change that.
