Best Possible Super Bowl LI Matchups

[aawagner011]

Update. Presumably navy for New England. Hoping for red for Atlanta!

I just wanna point out that it's kinda cool how the seats are the colors of the two Super Bowl teams (navy for NE; red for ATL). Yes, I know they're actually for the Texans, but it's still pretty nice.

I know it would never happen in a million years, but it would be nice if the Patriots finally wore their silver pants with their white jerseys. They look slightly less ugly this way:

That is a nice look.Wonder what it would look like with a blue or red helmet.

I've used this combo a few times in Madden when I've played against the Pats. I'd rather the Pats have a different set entirely, but for what it is, I think it looks pretty good.

What's weird is that a few years ago in a commercial the Patriots were wearing silver pants on the road.

They don't even put the NFC and AFC logo in the endzones anymore. 

[DC in Da House w/o a Doubt]

Super Bowl field design has absolutely plummeted.  How do you get rid of the helmets in the endzone or at the 25's?  Who's brilliant idea was that? No conference logos?  Dafuq?

 

It's like sheesh I don't even want the Redskins to make the Super Bowl if the field is gonna look that lame... uh yeah yeah that's it

[BlazerBlaze]

Anybody else think it looks like they're going to leave the background of the endzones empty?


Also that "Falcons" wordmark looks so strange without "Atlanta" above it.

Yeah I was thinking that too.  That would emphatically suck.

No, the endzone color usually goes on last.

They have now begun filling in the endzones. Gotta admit I was anxious they'd leave them turf colored.

 

Looks like they've begun doing the normal navy blue for the Pats and the Falcons sideline appears black. Was really hoping for red. Unless they do mismatching endzones and sidelines. Last year's sidelines matched the endzones, though. The wordmarks at least need some contrasting outlines to liven it up.

 

The turf looks really splotchy. One of the groundskeepers said it was the best turf they've used for the Super Bowl, but aesthetically it looks like crap.

Patriots jersey patch, as posted to their Instagram.

 

[aawagner011]

Looks like a different patch than what was used on the replica jerseys (which is a pretty nice patch by itself). The background on the Pats patch almost look transparent. Look at the shadow on the "I." The actual shadow...not the drop shadow effect.

 

 

Also, here's another view of the turf before they began filling it in. I swear, this turf is playing tricks on my eyes. Some angles, like that update I put two posts above, the field looks so patchy and discolored. Then there's this one, which looks pretty great for artificial. Hope it ends up looking like this on gameday and not the discolored mess above (which is actually later in the paint process).

The turf looks discolored due to the rubber infill. They spread it around on tractors to level the field. This occasionally leads to the field looking discolored, as some areas have more rubber than others (and thus look darker). Houston's field is excellent however, so I'm sure the field will look presentable by next Sunday.

 

Also a damn shame how the Falcons end zone will most likely be black. It should be red, but even if it is black, the wordmark should be outlined in red.

That looks like a Falcons replica jersey by that seam angle

Thanks for the insight! Good information.

That's what I acknowledged in my post when comparing the Pats game jersey to the Falcons replica.

The Patriots' uniform set is a hot mess of mismatched piping. The last time I was this confused by pipe work, I was playing World 7 of Super Mario 3.
