BBTV 19,480 Posted March 28, 2018 Not sure why part of Riding Elvis’ coat is red, but at least he’s more patriotic than Pat Patriot. They even kinda used the Patriots font. Still an upgrade from the idiotic 87ers brand. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WSU151 9,523 Posted March 28, 2018 "We'll be the Blue Coats, but our logo will be a guy wearing all red." Pat Patriot is wearing more blue than this guy on the horse. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EddieJ1984 1,624 Posted March 28, 2018 I really like the name, like 100x better than the 87ers. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
walkerws 514 Posted March 28, 2018 I understand the red highlights, but a lighter blue may have been a better choice with a red border. The font is bland. I'm surprised that the Sixers scripts didn't get used. Overall I'd say 6/10. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichO 548 Posted March 28, 2018 The ball with his hand, is he supposed to be dribbling while riding a horse at full gallop? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pharos04 1,159 Posted March 28, 2018 There's a lot going on with the website, wow Definitely don't hate the rebrand as it's less clunky than "87ers" and isn't just a copy of the 76ers logo. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leopard88 3,078 Posted March 28, 2018 The name change brings them into line with the rest of the teams in the Wilmington area (Blue Hens, Blue Rocks) . . . and it sounds better than 87ers. OFF TOPIC -- Have we really reached the point where a uniform template has to include a shooting sleeve? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
panthers_2012 1,394 Posted March 28, 2018 So much better than 87ers. I feel like the uniforms need a splash of red, but overall an upgrade. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Around the Horn 1,403 Posted March 28, 2018 I need that script logo from the court on the uniforms. Otherwise this looks fantastic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OnWis97 4,515 Posted March 28, 2018 87ers made a lot of sense, but, to steal from an above post, it was just to clunky. My initial reaction was "nice minor league logo" but some of the criticisms (Patriots font and almost Elvis, the coat is actually red) are true. If they were going to go with this logo, they were kinda SOL on the coat color. If they reversed it, the coat would be blue, but most of the logo would be red, probably resulting in more reaction from people that are not us. Not a fan of the white uniform. The Blue one is Solid, but needs more red. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the admiral 28,246 Posted March 28, 2018 87ers was a cumbersome name but ye gods that logo is bottom-half Concepts folder stuff. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pianoknight 2,991 Posted March 28, 2018 I get that they're tying back to the major league affiliate, but that 76ers logo looks absolutely horrid in this logo. Nothing about the Delaware font matches the retro look of the 76ers. And the "Blue Coats" font makes me think TCU or Oklahoma State. Great renaming and the logo is professionally done. But the details throw this thing off a bit. 7/10 overall. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the admiral 28,246 Posted March 28, 2018 I think they got the font from DaFont. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
agentrygraphics 389 Posted March 28, 2018 Looks like someone's designer has some 'splaining to do..

Skye's logo is executed so much better. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose the argument will be made that it's Caesar Rodney and not Revere. But it's pretty damn obvious it was copied. Why not just take it from the Delaware Quarter? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C-Squared 2,887 Posted March 28, 2018 That font is "Legend M54," which was born to be paired with a stolen, red-coated blue coat logo. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
