Guardians... https://imgur.com/gallery/iSSYdKE

The Canton operation of the USFL had been doing marketing in the Cleveland area within the last month or so. 'Pop up tents' with a spin the wheel for prizes at local shopping areas promoting tickets for the USFL in Canton. I guess, all for not.
-
Columbus also did a quick backtrack with the name (Columbus SC), and took the triangle out of the logo and replaced it with the 96. Also, Portland when they unveiled their MLS logo, the fans / Timbers Army revolted, and they came out with a slightly revised logo.
-
The Browns helmets, depending on the type of helmet, some look (like the PK) straight matte finish. Others look more like a semi gloss. Bugs me. I just wish they would go back to a glossy finish and white facemasks.
-
Crew season ticket member here. I agree on the comments about the best of three with no extra-time straight to penalties. Apple TV wanted more playoff games versus the single knockout format. Accordingly, I thought the league would go back to two-legged aggregate. But two-legged aggregate can lead to some not so great matches in the first leg. Therefore, I think they went with best of three as it would make more compelling TV. (Pure speculation on my part). And with the potential of three matches in eight days, MLS chose to go straight to penalties. It does seem strange though.

The logo, or crest, as it appears on this sign doesn’t look as bad to me. The chrome looks more like a light shade of blue. And no gradients.
-
At least Columbus and Nashville do not use gradients.
-
They are sharing the stadium with San Diego State. So red and black would probably fit in better with any SDSU branding in and around the stadium.
-
Maybe this has been previously mentioned, but the arm holes on the new Nike jersey cut seem really large. If players are not wearing a sleeved undershirt, you can see their underarm hair, moreso than before.
-
This is what I meant to quote. Totally agree that the ND uni numbers are too small and thin. Also, not a fan of the current tint of UA's version of ND's pants.
-
Totally agree with this. Also, if ND switches I wouldn't mind seeing them tweek the pants color.
-
University of Akron mismatched pants stripes vs. jersey stripes. I think they were going for the University of Florida stripes look, but it does not work here
-
You can actually see the center circle on the Cavs new court design. Is this some sort of new directive by the league? https://imgur.com/gallery/sW4UrUU
-
Maybe they are waiting for the upcoming renovations to Progressive Field, but there currently is not much Guardians branding throughout the concourses at the stadium. Plenty of dark blue (navy) and red on the old signage, but hardly any Guardians, G-ball logo, or even the new C.
-
I like what the team did with the Guardians. But I totally agree with point 1. above. The sleeve patch on the right sleeve instead of the left drives me crazy. I wish they would have put it on the traditional left sleeve (even though it would be 'backwards').
-
Why do the Panthers even bother with TV numbers anymore? They are so tiny on their unis, and no longer required. -
Pants were also different. Different proportion of the brown middle stripe to the orange stripe on each side.
-
Uh, I HATE gradients. But with what you are saying above, that reminds me, it was mentioned that it was going to be a 'new' type of application for the wordmark on the jersey. So, the above seems to be inline with that.
-
I read in a cleveland.com article / interview with the young guy the Cavs hired for the head of branding, that the new uniforms are not going to have any trim on the outside of the shoulders. He also said the 'C' would not be their main visual identity (I take it that means the new CAVS wordmark will take that spot). He also mentioned he did not want a bunch of secondary logos mucking up the brand (my words). My guess is the new unis are going to be rather simplistic. (Hopefully not to the likes of Utah).
-
The dark gray road hat has the full wordmark / logo on it. Who does that? Totally looks like a souvenir hat, not an on field hat of a professional baseball team.
-
Biloxi Beacon kind of sounds like an old WFL name. Like Shreveport Steamer. To be honest, I don't hate it.
