Brian in Boston Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 6 hours ago, BringBackTheVet said: It's hardly 'iconic'. That word needs to not be thrown around loosely. There are very few iconic logos in sports. Agreed. I recently took a good, long look at the primary marks of the franchises in MLB, MLS, the NBA, the NFL, and the NHL. Frankly, there are a lot of logos that range from "meh" to flat-out bad. The truly outstanding designs - let alone those that I'd rank as "iconic" - are few and far between.

SFGiants58 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 The best Ravens concept logo, IMO, is the '60s-style design developed by @oldschoolvikings. Heck, @HailGoldPants made an excellent purple helmet off of it (with gold and grey facemasks). It does inherit the "flipped B" problem, but its placement on the bird's helmet makes it far less of a pain stylistically.

I've never liked the forced B in the head. There are some color balancing issues with it and too many outlines. But better than what they have now though.

FiddySicks Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 If there’s any team that would look good going as minimalist as possible, it’s the Cardinals. If they kept the current logo but just brought back the previous home set and added a matching road set, it would look perfect for them. They’re one of the absolute oldest teams in the history of the league, and really should embrace that. All they need to do is ditch the pants stripes on this set, and it would fit them like a glove Hell, if they wanted to even bump the numbers on the sleeves up to the shoulders and use the AZ state flag, that would be great, too. I always liked the way they did that with the road set. Ditch the extra set of stripes on the sleeves, and you have a winner.

FinsUp1214 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 It occurred to me a while ago that the Jaguars’ minimalist uniform style and approach is so much better suited for the Cardinals (due to their history) than a team like the Jaguars. If the Cardinals had the same helmet they do now, and from the neck down had cardinal and white version of the Jaguars’ idea, that would’ve really worked for them in my opinion. I wish they would’ve beaten the Jaguars to the punch there. In any case, it’s been time for them to change for long while now. Murray is right, they look very outdated and I hope their set’s days are numbered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A team that plays in a UFO shouldn't wear the most traditional uniform in the league. The Cardinals are a mess, but a Jaguarsish overcorrection isn't the answer.

The second one is far better as a helmet logo than what they have currently but that is my opinion. Along that line, I submit this update that I made about nine years ago (ignore the uniforms, just focus on the logo)... I probably need to update that thing again. 9 hours ago, DNAsports said: Speaking of 25 years of Ravens football: Okay, I feel old now. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its amazing to think that it’s stuck around this long and has been the main logo for two Super Bowl wins. While it’s not something I find to be completely awful at first glance, when you really examine it up close, it’s probably the worst logo in the NFL. It's really quite awful on its own, but it's especially bad because you generally think of the Ravens as a really no-nonsense, vicious, intimidating team, representing a city that's evocative of blight and death and despair, and then they have this silly purple cartoon bird and those dorky '90s-style numerals. They need to go with the Maryland flag shield on the helmets or some sort of old-fashioned B, but not this bird head. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
