WSU151 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 The bigger news is apparently the Colts are tweaking their logo, and the Falcons, Bucs, and Browns are not.

Brave-Bird 08 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 The amount of Falcons fans I follow on Twitter who don't read and think the team is getting a new logo is, well, most of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also entirely likely that while the deadline for a change is something like 2 years out, they had the new designs filed away for much longer, just waiting for the right time to move forward with them. Most players, it's hard to know when they'll be gone. But yes, this was one that could absolutely be predicted. I suspect that when Kraft intervened last time, and told Belichick that he had to keep Brady, Belichick responded with an ultimatum. Brady was on borrowed time from that point on, and he was always going to leave after the 2019 season. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

I can't imagine randomly having a RB wearing #5 would be great for them. It happens in College Football but College Football has alot of dumb things about it. Agreed.

Would be curious to see this with a Navy facemask. The Red/White stripes and the Red in the Flying Elvis would pop like crazy if the mask was Navy. Either way, give us this with a number font update (solid 1-color White on Navy, Navy on White) and I'm sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Though the Bucs tweaked the pirate ship) If the Colts are tweaking their logo, that means they are either A.) making the helmet logo match the official logo, which would be a mistake due to how it fits on a helmet or B.) making the helmet logo the official logo. Also, that Madden Instagram post showing the single thin stripe pant for home jerseys would actually make a ton of sense, since it would match the helmet. With the Road Whites, they've gotta have a double stripe on the pants, to match the jersey. Doesn't sound like either of these are happening but it will be interesting to see what they're doing.

I've just gotta really hope that whatever tweaks are made are minor clean ups rather than anything that makes a major visual change. Fortunately, what I've read makes it look like that's exactly what they're doing. One thing I'm reading among Colts fans regarding the uniform is the possibility of the default home uniform being blue jersey and pants rather than blue jersey white pants.

upperV03 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I wouldn’t be surprised if the Colts finally move to the VU template for their home and road sets and switch to the font from their Color Rush set: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of those would be really nice. Another guess - they go from 3-color numbers to 2-color numbers (take out the gray outline on the homes and the white outline on the roads). I have nothing to back this up and could be way off. I just want the Pats to run faster and jump higher. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

joey joe joe jr. shabadoo Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Could part of the Patriots change be a return to a silvery facemask? I thought it looked a lot better on the flying elvis helmet than the red...which is too bright and I feel overpowers things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOVER Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Let's hope the facemask remains Red, or at worst, changes to Navy. Grey on Silver is really drab. Anyone care to mock up a Pats helmet with a Navy mask? Maybe with the Red/White/Red stripe from a few pages back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
