Get ready for an all Anvil Black Color Rush with blue numbers outlined in white, with the double white stripes filled in with a single blue one. fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Single (or limited) use on the uniform. If that wasn't what you were getting at, then pay no attention What's more is, at least on the Seattle shirt, it looks blank without the swoosh: They introduced a design element solely to pop in their logo. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely there as an excuse to have a BFBS alternate in a few years. I would say it's for merch reasons, but I'm pretty sure every team already has black t-shirts/hats/hoodies/etc, I mean even the Dolphins do. right, theres no reason to introduce “anvil” as an official team color. you can even get Yankees hats in about any color you want but that doesnt mean it has to be on field.

Exactly & that is my problem with a lot of updates. They have to throw something in that just makes no sense. Its like the Falcons silver face mask it makes no sense unless you are going to incorporate silver in the uniform which they did not. The Titans pant stripe that looks nothing like the rest of the uniform. I can at least know where they were going if it makes sense but when you just randomly add something I just can't stand it.

Both are great and they both have a retro feel to them. New more than the old. Yeah, I actually like that Rams font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepis21 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 New wordmark is nice, Retro numbers are huge upgrade, Secondary logo is ok, at least for now it's only on neckline so no one will see it. Black swoosh is forced and unnecessary. Overall I like it, but thing that bother me is how these tweaks affect to a 5 year rule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Cesarano Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 The numbers are pretty good (except for that wonky 4). They look like the classic Cowboys numbers But the change in the wordmark is a big downgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoogs44 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 So for all the grey face mask people, I have a question ... You say it goes with the teams that have traditional identities, but my question is, if they are wearing these completely modern helmets as we see in the Colts unveil pictures, does it still look appropriate to you? IMHO I think you have to have and older shell or older looking shell for a grey face mask to have the desired effect.... Grey face masks, I think of Jim Plunkett ,Jim Brown, Johnny Unitas that era, and the only reason they used them then was the lack of color availability if I'm not mistaken...

BadSeed84 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I said I had a feeling the old western wordmark was gonna be gone. And what a pit a nice tall, CURVY seriffed font, gets replaced by a modern squared font. The C with the holes is brutal. Shame I was right. Now were down to what 2.5 teams left?

For me personally, I feel like its more like putting a chrome bumper on a 2020 Camaro or Challenger trying to harken back the 60s & 70s muscle cars, the 2020 Camaro or Challenger is retro styled after all, but to me it doesn't work because no matter how retro it is , it still isnt a 1970 Challenger, its a 2020 Challenger designed to look somewhat like a 1970....

(Cowboys, Bills, 49ers flirt with their old wordmark) The Vikings use the same wordmark they used upon their inception in '61. Sure, they used that weird stencil font during the nineties, but they did have good sense to return to and stick with the old/current beauty. edit- I see now that you're talking specifically about western marks, not just classic marks. Oh well, any excuse to draw attention to how good the Vikings' wordmark is, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chromatic Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I like it. Wordmark is improved, numberfont looks decent, and I like the secondary logo they introduced. The black swoosh doesn't really bug me, especially considering the Colts are one of those teams that have a grey facemask despite it not being anywhere in their colours.

Well, if you blend the white with the black swoosh, I believe you'll get grey. Or, just skip cleaning the uniforms for a week or two... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hormone Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Maybe it’s been mentioned, but when I first saw the leak of the C inside the collar, I thought it was a bad screen print. You can fire my geography teacher if he’s still alive, before I realized it was the state. Really, this was change for change sake as the numbers aren’t that much different, the word mark is worse, but it’s only on the helmet bumper, and a big eff you to a black swoosh. Personally, I hate the gray mask, so I’d go back to blue (or even white) so the casual fan would actually say there’s something new or different.
