sky1324 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) I really like it! Definite upgrade over the old one, I love the use of CLT, and it actually looks great on the helmet. 56 minutes ago, cajunaggie08 said: This is a huge improvement for Charlotte. Its simple but unique. My biggest gripe is the CLT mark being so prominent. I haven't spent much time in Charlotte so perhaps they refer to the city as CLT, but I never have been a fan of airport codes/abbreviations being part of team logo packages CLT is very common around here. It's on of the more common nicknames, along with Queen City and the QC. 44 minutes ago, 8993 said: I've never been a fan of using "CLT". Say that out word out loud and tell me I'm wrong. That's just not a good phrase. Moreso, I'm not a fan of this branding. It's boring and bulky to me. But you don't say it like a word, you say it letter by letter, like C-L-T, just like any other airport code.

I get that, but I've heard a number of locals say that they don't like CLT solely for that connotation. Charlotte as a name is already iconic and elegant, so I'd always prefer Charlotte > CLT. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks pretty good with the letters and it's better than the Hornets' CHA they've been trying to push. 2 Quote the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it may be because there is a straight line on the interior right side on the lower half. 4 Quote Most Liked Content of the Day -- February 15, 2017, August 21, 2017, August 22, 2017 ///// Proud Winner of the CCSLC Post of the Day Award -- April 8, 2008 Originator of the Upside Down Sarcasm Smilie -- November 1, 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8993 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Also, is it just me or does the 'C' seem to curve to the right? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frosty06306 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 https://charlotte49ers.com/sports/2020/6/23/media-tool-kit-49ers.aspx I'm conflicted, as ultimately they've needed a new logo, but this is so... lifeless looking. The CLT is not a good secondary logo, and it looks so out of whack. The wordmark feels like some weird Falcons ripoff, I guess at least the tertiary and primary are ok by themselves... This could've been much better but at least this means we won't see those god awful chrome gold football helmets anymore... I hope...

_DietDrPepper_ Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Ugh, why does it all bend. The CLT mark is pretty underwhelming too, the only cities who can abbreviate their names are cities with 2 or more words. NYC, LA, STL for example. ATL, CLT, neither of those work. The C logo, in theory is alright, albeit boring and lifeless. The 49ers logo, or just the 9ers logo, both look awful, the pickaxe in the 9 looks awkward as can be. I think as bad as the original was, this really isn't all that much better. 3 Quote Follow the NFA, and My Baseball League here: https://ahsports.boardhost.com/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagan696 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Not a fan of the new branding. Maybe it will grow on me after it’s more used. I am a Charlotte native and yes we prefer CLT to CHA. The new wordmark logos look wavy and not aligned to each letter slant. The reverse pickaxe in the lettering and number is a good concept that would work better with a different letter form. 2 Quote Carolina Dreamin' ΓΔΒ ΓΔΒ ΓΔΒ When a robotic Nixon is on the loose, we have a duty to take action.

Lights Out Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 This is a major downgrade. Not sure what they were thinking with the lopsided C, and the even more lopsided "CLT" mark is even worse. 10 Quote POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Bojangles Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Longtime 49er fan here. I wasn't thrilled when the C logo came out on Saturday, but after the entire re-brand was released yesterday, I love it. Old logo had 4 colors and was difficult and expensive to produce. Now we have a much simpler logo, one shade of green (Jets green) that can be easily reproduced. No more 49 Shades of Green with our gear!! I think the CLT logo will become a primary logo. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerws Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I think this new look is pretty lifeless. The 49ers logos is unique enough, but the rest is blocky and plain. The C with the pickaxes are blah and the C looks closer to an O. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewMLind Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 My wife says to me as I'm writing the article on the front page last night: "Why does it look like an IUD." Now I can't unsee it. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosioux76 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I know that's supposed to be a miner's pick inside the C, but my brain only wants to see it as an airplane or a bird. Also, didn't realize how much the prior 49ers logo resembled the SF 49ers infamous one-day logo. Not perfectly, of course, but certainly in spirit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krz Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I really like it, the last logo was very dated. It also looks great on a helmet. However I don’t like the 49 logo. Quote Excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
