Spot on.

 

I recall thinking the Kraken name was embarrassing until I saw how it was displayed as part of a visual identity and it completely changed my mind about the name. The name is only one part of an identity package. The visuals can, and should, elevate it. Too early to dismiss the options now. The Kraken example should have taught us that.

Kraken, like Wild, is still a terrible name despite the fantastic branding around it.

Great job Tampa making jerseys that will be completely illegible from more than 15 feet.

I miss the days of restraint and class when it was just a small American flag on the side. We don't have to go all Team America with it.

These are big change for the sake of change uniforms.

 Chiefs fan, here…I’ve got nothing to be embarrassed about.

 

Yeah you did a great job winning those trophies man.

Outlaws added to the trademark list for NHL Utah. First one that hasn't immediately sent my eyes rolling into the back of my head.

Side by side really highlights what an upgrade the new Lions home jersey is. The brighter blue and actual silver are so much livelier.

Is the zag on the Broncos jersey supposed to be a mountain peak? I can't make heads or tails of it.

Apparently the state fossil of Utah is the Allosaur. Wouldn't mind some more dinosaurs in professional sports.

Browns changed colors as well according to X-

 

The brown does not remain unchanged.

Please be a plural noun that's not a meme from a bad 2010 movie.

And...

 

I'd prefer the version without the gold outlines on the name and numbers. Hate how it makes them look fuzzy from a distance. Optionally cleaning up the Northwestern stripes too, but that doesn't bother me as much.

And +1 to bringing back the UCLA stripes on the whites. Damn striping consistency.

Surprised how popular the US kit is. Way too many stripes in too small a space. And the blue split is better in theory than execution.

Love the logo for Montreal, I think the sublimation in the stripes makes the whole look a bit too busy.

The Rangers remind me of the previous Twins set. 

I hated that set.

And to repeat my earlier point (which by now is buried two pages deep into this current avblackjacking), it's the chroma of those colors that's the problem. One or the other needs to be adjusted up and the other the opposite way to create better separati—umm, contrast between both. 

This drives me crazy about multiple sports teams. Your colors should occupy different parts of the luminance spectrum so that they properly contrast.  A uniform should be readable first and foremost.

Bomb Pop but it started melting.

I mean, the team is nicknamed the Loons, but it is officially named Minnesota United. The star connection doesn't seem crazy when the state motto is Star of the North. There's at least some connective tissue, although I can understand the consistency argument. Could've done a loon wing constellation.

The smaller name is definitely harder to read. Not a fan at all, I think it looks terrible and cheap.

The 2.5 inch (maybe even 2 inch?) NOBs look super amateur and unbalanced with the numbers. All I can see is all the empty space left over.

He'll pull down your pants but he won't eat the rich, is that Neutral Good?

I'd argue Gritty is Chaotic Neutral and the Phanatic is Chaotic Good.

It's nice to see the DC logo being used. Everything else, pass.

Honolulu Blue vs Niners Red would be a great color-on-color matchup in the NFCCG, if only the NFL allowed such things.

Imagine if a historical franchise like Montreal or something used the letter of the team name on their jersey.

Hi, would you like to talk about our Lord and Savior the Portland Airport carpet?
