Cut straight at the end of the purple taper? not a fan The reason those stripes are the way they are is to mimic Ravens' feathers, which are a dark purple to black. This is one case where the color DOES matter, unlike there being no navy bears or blue lions. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewMLind 2,499 Posted February 25 From the Blue Jackets' press release when the logo was introduced as part of an alternate in 2003: "The alternate is inspired by the state flag of Ohio and is displayed in the shape of the letter 'C.' That image overlays the familiar Blue Jackets’ star, which signifies Columbus as the state’s capital." And again from the press release of the 20th season logo: "The logo features a large number 20 that is white with red trim, outlined in blue and silver. Overlaying the bottom of the 20 is the club's primary logo, which is inspired by the state flag of Ohio with its pennant shape, red, white & blue colors and white stars in the shape of the letter C wrapped around the Blue Jackets star." 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simtek34 1,710 Posted February 26 If the Bengals HAVE to keep the B logo, I would prefer if the B and the Bengal head switch places, with the B being an alternate and the Bengal head returns to being the primary. From what I've seen, the Bengals never said it would be the Primary logo, did they? 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewMLind 2,499 Posted February 26 I’ve never had an issue with the Bengals’ “B” logo. I have long had an issue with its placement below the collar, though. 11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In terms of iconic helmet designs, it’s right up at the top with the Rams’ horns, the Vikings’ completely different horns, and the Eagles’ wings. The other three teams all have “normal” logos but they aren’t strictly necessary except maybe Minnesota’s. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IceCap 22,664 Posted February 27 On 2/24/2021 at 1:44 PM, leopard88 said: All in all, I tend to think of the Ravens uniforms as something of a modern classic (though I'm probably just a bit biased). They generally stick to traditional football aesthetics (no piping, traditional pants striping (black pants excluded)), with some modern elements (custom number font, sleeve logo with just a stripe on the cuff). The Ravens have an achingly close to good uniform. I take two issues with it though. The black pants are awful. I feel like, at the very least, they need a purple/white/purple stripe. My second issue is the logo. The Ravens have had some pretty nice logos. Their Maryland shield is pretty cool. The full bodied raven was nice. The full bodied Raven's head is perfect for a helmet logo. Even the prototype of the current raven head in profile was better than what's being used now. I generally dislike the "they only need a few tweaks" argument because it's usually followed by a complete redesign, but this is one case where those two changes would make me love the Ravens' uniforms. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The crawling description kinda annoys me, just had to get that out there. Given bears are quadrupedal, walking on all fours is just walking for them. You wouldn't say some random dog you see outside is crawling, would you? 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s a shame that the Ravens’ original Winged B-Shield logo (and likely the full-bodied Raven and prototype head) are effectively locked away due to the lawsuit that they had with the fan who designed the Winged B-Shield. (Then again, that was under Art Modell’s ownership, so maybe the sentiment has changed.) I even think that their current Maryland shield or full-bodied Raven would look good on the helmet. And finally, I totally agree on the black pants—they badly need stripes. Edited February 28 by DustDevil61 Badly 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like the number font, leaping tiger and the pants stripe. I don’t like monochrome and the full shoulderpad stripes (just keep them in the UCLA-stripe zone). But overall good effort by the artist. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
