Here is a better image of the new logo, that more resembles what we will see in digital and physical media.

Less detail in the logo (no individual beads) than in the unveiling, but we saw this last year when the Super Bowl LVIII logo was first released.

There's some neat patterns in there, but certainly my least favorite logo of the colored numeral era (LVI to now)

From a design and composition standpoint, the weight of the numerals combined with the pattern detailing makes for a really distracting, busy logo altogether. The "L" only stands clear because of the trophy in-between it but the "IX" looks like one big blob of color and shapes.  I was really excited for this recent design approach to blend with New Orleans aesthetics and themes, but this might be the most rough execution they could've taken. It's a shame because the recent logos were really some of the best we've gotten in the 21st century.

In the meantime, here is a quick shuffle of the endzones to the correct sides, from my previous post.

I expect I'll need to do some color correction, and the Super Bowl logo will not be as detailed as what I have here. Also need to make adjustments to the teamboxes, as they actually go onto the gray field tray surface, and that also causes the logos in the teamboxes to have to be smaller.

 

In general, I do like the darker endzone to be on the left, so I do like the Chiefs endzone moving to the right this year.

@pitt6pack here's the version they're using for the field. I was able to extract it from the Ticketmaster Super Bowl seating chart. For at least the last couple Super Bowls, that page has had this simplified version, though it took some tweaks to match what the actual field shows. Hope this helps!

Another pic showing the absolute travesty that is blank end zone borders

I find it interesting how the grounds crew essentially demo'd field artwork on the ground level turf before doing the real thing on the roll-in grass tray that will actually be used for the game. It makes me wish they were using the raiders block yard numbers for the game instead of the standard schoolbook font.

Not sure why we (Chiefs) can't have red endzones for the Super Bowl, we don't really use yellow as a primary color at all. 

I've never understood that either.  I know it's your accent color in uniforms, but it's no where in your current logo and that yellow specifically isn't terribly flattering as a field color either (much less a full end zone color). But for the sake of offsetting the niners end zone like it was for LIV, it feels like they've just kinda...stuck with it. I thought the red end zone would've played well with the Eagles last year, to really bookend the field with the SBLVII logo design colors between. 

My projection based on the images @pitt6packfound! I feel like the enzdone/sideline color matchup clashes with the Super Bowl logo a little bit, maybe just given how unique the coloring on the SB logo actually is.

All in all, I'm ready to see changes in the next couple years to the template because this has just gotten stale and I believe with the revitalization of the Super Bowl logos, the field design should also get that same kind of attention.

Threw together a classic concept for this year. Bringing back a helmet design with modern touches, giving the team boxes some love, team slogans on the border of their respective end zones, and of course conference logos. 

Not to feed into the conspiracy, but these teams with this logo would easily make for a great field design.

Since it's that time of year again, it's time for some concepts.

 

First, base field

 

And my prediction for the field layout (not teams necessarily)

 

I don't think we will see any changes in the template from the past few years.

One prediction I have is the number font. Since the NFL will do a full replacement of the field, I think they will put the standard number font on the field.

If we're lucky, they'll use the Raiders number font, and outline the numbers in team colors. If they did use the Raiders number font though, my prediction would be that they would not have the numbers outlined, similar to Super Bowl LII.

I'm hoping for the Raiders number font just to give the field a stronger identity. I love how they've revitalized the actual SB logo recently and pairing that with something as subtle as the home field's usual number font on the field would be a welcome touch!

All finished!

It looks darker than the field of grass, maybe not the complete coat of black?

This post from the cardinals Facebook gives a pretty good idea of what’s going on. I think the black and dark grey paint won’t go on until the night before the game. So that blank outline on the eagles word mark and dark details in the Super Bowl logos will likely be filled in on Saturday. 

Also had some fun with a modernized retro style. Hopefully the league considers reimplementing the conference logos in some fashion at some point. I know the blue and red don't go with every team's color scheme, but the push for conference supremacy is still very alive and I think using those logos should matter to the league.

can you show the field without the sideline boxes? Thanks

 

Here you go!

My latest iteration from all reference images I've found. The Super Bowl logo provides nice contrast to both end zone colors, especially on the Chiefs' end. It makes the return of the yellow end zone more tolerable. Really a better looking field than I thought it would turn out to be.

Uniforms are going to have some great colorful stains by the end of the game lol

There was a good sneak peak article on this site on what next year's logo may look like.

Check it out here for those who haven't seen it already

https://news.sportslogos.net/2023/01/30/first-look-at-super-bowl-lviii-logo-in-las-vegas/football/

 

But here is the mock up someone drew from memory 

 

It'll be interesting to see the actual logo come out, but I think this tip is legitimate. I'd expect more gradient throughout the logo as with the last two. I'm guessing we'd see mostly purple and black throughout, and maybe some other colors with the background with the skyline and the welcome to Las Vegas sign. 

If that turns out to be legit, that could be one of the best Super Bowl logos ever IMO. The nod to the shape of the Bellagio to give it that extra depth and dynamic quality is great. Obviously the Vegas iconography never goes wrong, and if the color scheming is anything like the last two logos, this should be just as good. Can't help but think about how the 3D broadcast graphics will go crazy with it, too. 

Just a hopeful concept for the game. Taking mild inspiration from a few others in this thread. Simple enough to do but different enough to freshen things up. In line with social justice slogans, team slogans along each sideline boundary would be a nice touch. Bringing the conference logos back, colored to match the teams would be a cool reimplementation of them, I think. 
 

I really hope they go for something unique because colors really pop on Arizona's grass. It's one of the best looking fields in the league and deserves a great design based on its Super Bowl history! 

I made up a concept for what the field might look like this year. I think the quadrant color look for the sidelines should make a return as it did for XLIX in Arizona. And sticking with the general aesthetic of the past couple years with an enlarged SB logo graphic. Let me know what you think!

Looks all finished. I was hoping for a high contrast blue vs orange endzones, but it’s solid nonetheless.

I am ok with the different endzone designs.

 

The NFL asks each team what they want, the team tells them, it is approved, then it is done.

 

One team wants their helmet in their endzone, the other team doesn't. IMO, nothing wrong with that at all. "This is our team endzone, that is their team endzone'.  I am probably in the minority with that opinion though, LOL. 

I think a lot of us are big fans of the field styles before like SB48, which were all about the unity of design across the entire field. Conference logos for the team represented, their logos, and word mark for the year. Whether it were just the logo or the helmet logo, it was always something I looked forward to seeing. Since SB48, it's all just looked kinda random and thrown together.

In the end, it's just us nerds caring more than the average fan about how a football field is designed for a single game lol

Tried my hand at the field from what I've seen. Would have really preferred the Chiefs end zone had a two bar helmet to match the 49ers style, especially since KC had been celebrating 60 Years with that same style helmet at midfield all season. As far as colors, very refreshing from a majority of the last seven or so years.

First off i may have a solution, Second in case y'all wanted a head Start

 

I feel like the logo designers have really backed themselves into a corner with these standard templates. The ‘L’ doesn’t give much room for creativity but this ‘LV’ just looks like another ‘LIV’ at first glance. At the very least they should put these new stylized numerals to back below the ‘Super Bowl’ banner and go with the stadium/city art behind the trophy with a varying color scheme from year to year. Just combine the better elements of the last ten years’ two types of designs.

I really like the texture for the turf. It's the closest I've seen to an artificial surface. Right now I'd say my artificial turf surface texture is better suited for grass, and my grass texture I never thought was all that great. Where did you find the source for the texture, or did you make it yourself?

Appreciate the response! As for your question, I used a high-quality brushed metal texture from a simple Google search with no vignette look on it, so that the lighting was consistent across the whole of the field. The more I looked at photos of the field, I realized that the pattern of how the grass laid throughout the field went parallel with the yard lines as well as perpendicular. So I used two layers of the same texture, with one laying parallel and one perpendicular, like I mentioned. Just a few tweaks with opacity, layering effects, and adding just the right amount of noise on top of it all, I got what I thought looked pretty darn close to how field turf looks nowadays.

I've been working on my first personal version of the Super Bowl LII field with my own custom template and image/texture resources from the internet. I believe the result is pretty nice. Was waiting til after the game to finalize it so that colors and patters were accurate. Feedback appreciated.
