jc... Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I'd say fake just because I think the NFL stopped doing the Super Bowl ticket lottery......but then again, nothing surprises me anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cajunaggie08 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Well they did just do red for Super Bowl LI. The colors for these logos dont necessarily reflect the host team's colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tohasbo Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 It'll be real. That looks like it is from the Super Bowl program. I am getting one in the mail in the next couple of days and it'll be in there for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primzahl Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Is the blue on this logo darker than the current Super Bowl logo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzyman314 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I honestly don't know which is lazier. The current Post-50 logos, or the XLV-XLIX logos with just the stadium backdrop.

Obviously the post 50, at least the XLV-XLIX logos had something to differentiate and regionalize them, however minute it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitt6pack Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Here's a thought on why blue for the logo, if this is in fact the logo. For Super Bowl LI, the host city team is in the AFC, so red logo. SB LII, host city team is an NFC team, so blue logo. Now, SB LIII, is hosted in the city of another NFC team, so another blue logo. It's so stupid that this might actually be true. The Gridiron Uniform Database Simulation League (GSL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so stupid that this might actually be true. In the League's flawed view of what matters, this sadly makes sense. if that were the case, LIV would be red and LV would be blue and then LVI would be......uhh....purple? BTW just pointing out the absolute loss that is Super Bowl LV not being held in Las Vegas as well as LVI not being held at LeVI's Stadium. 50 should've been at LA Memorial and it would've helped a lot of this.

AgentColon2 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Super Bowls cannot reside in non-NFL cities. Only one of your ideas, LeVI's would qualify in that timeline. Either way, kudos on this process. You've spent more brain power than the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of people (albeit the minority) that don’t feel that they botched it, and appreciate the consistency. I am one who feels that it stenghtens the brand. Quite frankly, “lazy” is the most overused critique of any design. It’s fine not to like it, but calling a design (that had likely a dozen people signing off on it) “lazy” indicates a total lack of understanding of the process. Im not going to pretend that the actual finished product took months or even weeks to draw, but I’d bet that months or maybe even years of study, concepts, prototypes, edits, etc went into what they have now. With th all the seemingly random patches that teams wear these days (anniversary, man of the year, captain, memorial, etc) the SB patch is the one thing that’s now consistent and instantly recognized as being for the big game. It gives players something to shoot for (“Ive played my whole career to wear the Lombardi trophy on my jersey”) and much like the finals graphic package, creates more of a big-event feel to the game.

The Super Bowl should ideally have a consistent visual identity, not one that changes every year. The NBA had it right with their Finals logo that became so identifiable, as did Major League Baseball in the late 1980s and early 1990s, with a World Series logo that took on a life of its own.

The issue becomes when you go from colorful, lively host centered logos to a utilitarian, single look logo. The CFL had a set way to display the Grey Cup game logo and even when they changed to the current design requirements they tried to add something that displayed the city hosting the game as well. The stadium addition to the Super Bowl logos didn't work as well because they were required to be minimalistic and placed behind the numbers which made reading the logo from certain angles difficult. Even though it's not an official logo this design by @logoroy shows what a little bit of local flavor can add to a championship logo. Even the host committee logos represent the game better, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc... Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 If you are going to number them with Roman Numerals, then that gives each Super Bowl individuality. And it should be that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it should be that way. When LII and LIII are next to each other I'd like to have something other than the color bar help me differentiate between games when I take a quick glance at the logo. Did you mean simply adding the roman numerals to the host logos, like Houston? I agree with you on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Ill agree that the stadium logos don’t really work well for their intended purpose and given the requirements just can’t really look good. Nobody called the SCF patch “lazy”, or the O’Brien patch. If anything, “lazy” is a cliche Mardi Gras theme for New Orleans, peach for Atlanta, rose for rose bowl, etc. "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."
