DoctorWhom Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Recently bought this on ebay Apparently a Prototype version of the Super Bowl XXXVI Champions hat. The Font on the Backstrap is different (a holdover from the original XXXVI logo?) And the logo is on the right side instead of on the brim. Not going to lie, I like this design a lot more. I like the Numerals with the flag design and the stars on the brim. Which also matches the Conference Champions Hats having the AFC/NFC logo on the same spot. Really wish they went with this design. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi_canadian Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Saw this on a IIHF Jersey and Memorabilia group on Facebook. It's a Team Canada jersey with all the IIHF tags and what not and done by Nike. Anyone know the backstory of this? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGiants58 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Inside Pitch by Rick Allen shows off a better angle of the previously-known Seattle Pilots prototype. I like it more than the finalized design. 1 Quote MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why the opted for the generic block 'S' instead? The one in this photo represents the pilot theme perfectly.

Lights Out Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 That's actually a neat idea, but it feels totally inappropriate for the Sixers. Something along those lines could have worked for Memphis if they had switched to a music-based identity instead of keeping the Grizzlies name. 7 Quote POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something along those lines could have worked for Memphis if they had switched to a music-based identity instead of keeping the Grizzlies name. That's a good point. Also, while I love the style, I wonder how easily it could've been adapted for last names of varying lengths. For example, I wonder how they would've handled last names like those of Sixers Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot and Manute Bol. I guess we'll never know. ADDING TO THIS POST: I just read Lukas' blog on this, and it made me curious. Maybe one of you would know this, but when teams dip their toes in the water (so to speak) on a rebranding process, do they ever just toss it out to multiple creative agencies at once to see what comes back? I'm struck by the experience of this one designer, who appears to have received zero feedback prior to the project being cancelled. I'm left to wonder whether the team just didn't like what it saw from this agency's concepts and decided not to make any changes? Or whether they just kept farming out the work until they got something they liked. Because as we know, the Sixers never made any substantive changes until the gradient disasters of '91, the final Barkley year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin W. Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Holy Christ that is a special kind of awful. It would've taken one of the best alternate jerseys in league history and turned it into an easy frontrunner for the worst jersey of all time. 4 Quote Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (CHL - 2018 Orr Cup Champions) Chicago Rivermen (UBA/WBL - 2014, 2015, 2017 Intercontinental Cup Champions) King's Own Hexham FC (BIP - 2022 Saint's Cup Champions) Portland Explorers (EFL - Elite Bowl XIX Champions) Real San Diego (UPL) Red Bull Seattle (ULL - 2018, 2019, 2020 Gait Cup Champions) Vancouver Huskies (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'm a few months late on this, but I don't think that was an early reverse retro design and more likely the rumored new third jersey that was planned. I seem to remember hearing about that years ago and then nothing ever came out from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DustDevil61 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I’m not sure where to post this, but I think this is the best place to mention this, but apparently there was a Baltimore Ravens “Throwback” quickly-pulled-from-production mini helmet that had the 1996-98 front-facing swooping bird on it (the same one that adorned the sleeves in that same timeframe) on eBay. (Sorry, as well—I got outbid on it. Lousy timing, ending during my work shift.) This brings up a few intriguing questions: Did the Ravens ever plan on using this logo? Was it after the logo lawsuit, or was it supposed to be the primary logo? Is this the closest the Ravens could legally get to the winged B-Shield, or was this a fabrication from someone wanting to trick someone into buying it? Here are the screenshots for reference: Similarly, there was a 1993-94 Jacksonville Jaguars Leaping Jaguar mini helmet that was on Ebay. While most people here know about the original unused Jaguars helmet and logo, what’s interesting is that on the bottom of the box where all 30 teams (as of 1995), the Jaguars were in the NFC “West” while the Panthers were in the AFC Central. Was this the original plan for the 1995 expansion? Here's the screenshot of the division from the Jaguars helmet listing: Apologies if the images don't show up or if there's some kind of policy where I shouldn't post these, but this is in case the links don't work and are just to make sure that these images remain after the (already ended) eBay listings are taken down. 2 Quote Insert Signature Here? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot how goofy the NFC alignment used to be with Phoenix in the East and Atlanta in the West. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
