Sure, but they’ve been rolling with this same drab template for 6 years now, so I wouldn’t bet on anything exciting. It's weird. They sorta randomly did them and then randomly didn't, and then back again. The Patriots are probably to blame for the current endzone mess. Things were looking good with Team logo, Wordmark, Conference logo, and then the Pats changed their wordmark to the current with the logo under it. That year against Seattle had an uneven endzone because at the time they didn't have a non logo wordmark. All they need to do is go back to Team logo, wordmark, conference logo and you're set. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can barely read the wordmarking. Overall, the field - once again - is boring. Another year of the NFL being lazy and not creative. Its crazy how posters on this board can design a much better SB field. Just out of curiosity, what would qualify as a better looking, more creative field? (I ask because this field seems pretty standard when compared to the rest; not really any less "creative".) 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A centered wordmark with either the helmet or the conference logo on the other sides, and a non-templated SB logo, ya know, like we had for over 45 years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s the same thing every year just different endzones. We aren’t saying “go crazy”, just change up the design each year. Put the Super Bowl logo at the 50, put helmet logos on the 20’s, outline the lines, put conference logos in the end zone. Don’t do all at once but pick a few of them each year to use and change it up each year so the field doesn’t look so sterile and corporate as it is now. Make it feel special. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phutmasterflex 1,257 Posted February 2 ^ Bingo Also, I wouldn't be opposed to having end zones in a non primary color. Chiefs yellow end zone is great. Wouldn't mind the Bucs going pewter for their end zone. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The shield has only not been on the 50 for 11 of the championships. And the actual super bowl logo was only at the 50 for 8 of those. I'm fine with the shield being at the 50. Endzones need to go back to centered wordmark with conference logo and team logo flanking. And bring back game specific logos. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RayFinkle 641 Posted February 3 The removing of the Confetence logos baffles me still. I mean, its the Super Bowl, its the NFC vs the AFC. That aspect should be highlighted , IMO. 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phutmasterflex 1,257 Posted February 4 They would really have to brighten up the red and white (whatever color that is) or else it would look really drab 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The red endzone is nice but the pewter font doesn't really pop the way the Chiefs wordmark does. Buccaneers looks muddled while the logo blends in, not great execution. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFLfan10 1,218 Posted February 4 It really bothers me how low that Bucs logo is on that helmet. That can't be right. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
