My opinion, personally, is that the Heat brand - logos, jerseys, etc - isn't that good. I don't like it. Obviously with championships and whatever it's probably too good to change. I want it to change, though. For me, it's both the combination of the colors and jersey style. The default style wasn't built for the blue and pink, and the jersey style wasn't built for red and orange. Everything about the Vice jerseys - the blue and pink, the Miami script, the aesthetics that go along with it - is uniquely Miami in a way that the current Heat brand doesn't come anywhere close to capturing. You could plug that in in any relatively hot city and you'd get the same result. Vice is unique to Miami. I suppose, though, it's the same argument as Red Rocks - both are brands born from the "City" program, so they're more inclined to be representative of the city/state than the team nickname. Your feelings on how appropriate that is and how much one or the other should be represented in the team's brand is subjective. I'm more likely to lean towards repping the city as opposed to the nickname, which is probably why I prefer Vice and Red Rocks as brands compared to what those teams currently wear.

I've never really liked the Heat's brand, so I'm all for them switching to Vice full-time. Of course, that would be replacing those 30 years of brand equity, but when the brand equity is mid at best, I think it's ok for them to make the switch.

I've been a proponent of colored tops being road jerseys ever since I discovered that's how some NPB teams do it. Teams like the Orioles, A's, Rays, Marlins, Padres, and plenty more should absolutely be using colored tops as their primary road uniform. More classic teams, like the Yankees or Dodgers. shouldn't. In my perfect world, colored road jerseys would be paired with white pants, but that's dependent on the home team wearing all-white jerseys which will never happen. More color in baseball is a good thing!

Not to be "that person" but this seems very much like a "no hockey in the south" suggestion and not a logical one. The Checkers are a good team close to their affiliate that draws pretty well for a minor league team (6th in the AHL last season, by the way). Most teams seem to be aiming for the proximity advantage of their AHL team, so I don't know how likely a SLC or Boise team is. Then again, Miami is a few hundred miles from Charlotte so clearly not every team follows that philosophy.

Yeah, that's really nice. I think it does a good job of keeping the shape of the D as recognizable while also portraying the tiger eye. Nice stuff!- 326 replies

Loving the updates! The classic font for Philly works super well and SA's new badge is rad. That SA interlock in particular rules. The helmet really shines with that deep red. Awesome stuff as always, excited to see you wrap this up!

I think you're losing too much of the D here, the shape of your original sketch was better in my opinion. Super awesome concept though, excellent and unique take on a classic team.

No need to scrap everything from nearly 30 years of history. Changes? Sure. An overhaul using "claw scratches" or "whisker stripes"? Dear god no.
-
With the exception of the helmet, I agree. Mix an orange Orange Crush helmet with those jerseys and that's the best Broncos set.

Loving Kentucky Tech! The colors remind me of the Vancouver Grizzlies in a good way and I really love the T/horseshoe logo. Nice stuff as always!
-
I like the gold jersey more than most but I'm not sure how I feel about the switch. I loved how they used the dark gray as opposed to black and I'm afraid that uniqueness will get lost with the swap. The gold jersey is certainly Vegas but it clashes with the brand they seem to have built. Oh well.
-
Yeah. They won a lot and people generally don't like it when one team wins a lot and it's not their team. The hate definitely peaked during the Durant years.
-
They won a lot.

As somebody from Charlotte, I felt that on a spiritual level. I love what you've got going, your presentation is always top-notch and your logos are wonderful. I think my personal favorite is the grackle logo but I like the one with the tree as well. Great work as always!
-
Agreed on both counts, especially the left-facing marks. I do think they did actually center the field logo - just on the bulldog and not the state, and the bulldog isn't centered within the state in the logo.
-
I disagree. The two-color pattern is distinct enough. The differing collar would also help. Similar yes, but not so similar that it would be a problem.
-
Absolutely not, this logo is god-awful. The panther head was not meant for a full-body logo.
-
Yeah this is my preferred solution. With the logo instead of the sleeve numbers we'd look too much like the Patriots and it would give the sleeve stripes so much room to breathe. The collar would look a lot better as well.

That Terps helmet is a thing of beauty. Man I wish Maryland looked that good in real life.

What do you mean changing the colors of a classic team for no discernible reason to something lifeless with no ties to team history or brand was a bad idea and nobody likes it? That's crazy, who could've guessed.
-
Don't kid yourself - JB was an excellent player developer but he was not the man to get us to the next level. I don't know who the team will hire and I don't know if I necessarily agree with the move but this is a win-now move, made by the team to actually compete in the playoffs.
-
This is pure speculation on my part but I think they didn't add any West Coast teams because when they have these teams in their home markets it will reduce travel expenses. If (fairly big if, mind you) the league lasts long enough to expand I'd say the LA Express and Oakland(/Bay Area/San Jose/whatever) Invaders are locks.
-
Love everything about Maryland except the UCLA-style stripes. I don't think the flag looks all that good stretched out like that. I don't have a great solution to that problem but I'm not feeling it. I also miss the Terps script helmet as a personal preference but with the rest looking this good I can't complain that much.

Loving Florida Tech! Always a fan of pink in sports.

Yeah I really like Chicago. The new maroon looks really nice and it's a super unique color scheme.
