OnWis97 3,765 Posted August 6, 2018 I don't know that I'd call that a "tweak" but I like it i general. Not sure whether the white and gold on the plane is inspired by old spear logo, but my guess is a name change overall would probably not include nods to the old name. Also, the little serifs on the propeller might have to be removed. It almost comes off like a swastika. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
L10nheart404 284 Posted August 6, 2018 I'd change the volt in the hawks uniform to a golden yellow. Similar, if not exactly the same as the Dominique era uniforms. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have to go with a depiction of a Tuskegee airman's plane if you do that, which that concept does well. The one area where I think this concept fails is the use of a roundel with text on it. This would make an incredible logo in baseball, and a very good one in basketball as well. But there's a reason you virtually never see that format in football - it doesn't translate to a helmet at all. The text would be completely lost. But the plane itself is great and can probably stand alone as a football logo. But the roundel needs to go - it doesn't work in football. Or you could have a stand alone logo for the helmet that resembles the Tuskegee Airmen medals and keep the roundel logo for other applications. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why not just put the plane by itself on the helmets and the complete roundel at the center of the field? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I said, the plane itself would work as a standalone logo. Honestly, I think it'd look better at midfield than the roundel (small text may not translate well at midfield - there's a reason why roundels are rarely done there either). 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never realized how much i wanted this identity to happeb until this suggestion. Even if they went with that plane concept as a primary, i love the side-facing airman as a secondary. But it’d be the perfect replacement/tweak to the current logo. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
