In my opinion, while not as good as when each was unique and made for the game itself, the addition of the colors and other garnishes does make it better. Still not as good, but better than before. The XLV-XLIX era was easily the worst, post-50 they have improved slightly.

Thanks for the kind feedback, everybody. Somebody requested a markup of the gold Chiefs end zone with the pewter Buccaneers end zone, so I figured I'd make a couple. I decided to do two versions of it, one in the style the NFL has currently adopted, sans conference logos with large wordmarks, and one in my preferred style, with the conference logos and Super Bowl logo at the 50 instead of the shield. They can be seen below.

So I did made my own concept of what I expect the field to look like, but it basically ended up being virtually identical to Pitt's concept, so there's no reason to post it. Just for fun, I also decided to make a couple concepts of what I would have liked to see for the game. As you can see, the big changes were adding the conference logos to the end zones, and swapping the Super Bowl and NFL logos, so that one big Super Bowl logo would be at the 50 and two smaller NFL logos at the 25s. I've always liked the idea of the Super Bowl logo at the 50 as opposed to the NFL logo. The other changes I made were white outlines on the team scripts in the end zone. The Chiefs one was small, one pixel wide, because I thought it looked better straight on the yellow, as can be seen on the actual field. The Buccaneers one was a lot thicker, at 3 pixels, but I think it looks much better with the white outline than it did just black on red. This concept was largely the same as the other, with the obvious changes in end zone colors, from yellow to red for the Chiefs, and from red to pewter for the Buccaneers. I also removed the white outline from the Chiefs, and changed the Buccaneers script color from pewter to red to coincide with the change in the end zone color. I like the look of the pewter end zone for TB, actually. I'd be interested in any feedback on my concepts, if you guys liked them or not. I've followed this thread for several years now and have always found it fun, it inspired me to start making my own fields on Photoshop.

Am I the only one who like the old AFC and NFC logos (shown above) a lot, like A LOT more than the new ones (below)? Especially the AFC logo. That just looks miserable now.
