MCM0313 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I’m not crazy about the Saints wearing their new black helmet with white jerseys and pants, BUT… In the photo of Cam Jordan modeling them, he was wearing BLACK socks. That is a massive upgrade over the trash white socks they’ve always worn with the otherwise excellent Color Rush look. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJ Sands Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Check out the Eagles’ Twitter timeline. A lot of this neon green. It’s definitely not the old Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 ^^ that’s not new. They’ve used bright green along with the midnight green for years. In other news, they may not be able to replace the wordmark on the jerseys till 2024(!) according to a beat writer. So they’ll potentially have an unofficial logo on their uniform for up to two seasons. 5 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Eagles having an outdated wordmark, the Saints wearing the wrong alternate uniform, the Rams nonsense from a few years ago, Browns being stuck in hell, etc. The Eagles shouldn't have to wait. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont care Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Only reason I like the saints helmet is because it shows how full of shot that one guy is, and hoping it leads to a ban. Other than that it’s awful and shouldn’t see the light of day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The eagles could have easily coincided the “uniform change” with the wordmark change but chose not to. That’s not the NFL’s problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fouhy12 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 The Patriots actually updated their wordmark in 2014 but couldn't put it on the jerseys until 2015. At Super Bowl XLIX, it was the new wordmark in the endzone and the old one on the jersey. So there's some precedent to what the Eagles are doing. 6 fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like them to lean more into the midnight green and charcoal. Eliminate the black. It could be, I think it could also just be preemptive to adding the Kelly green next year as an alt. It fits both colors, kinda evokes the retro wordmark but with a modern flair. Also obviously works with Black too And since we heard Kelly was coming back but they might only allow one extra helmet…I’ve wondered if this is what they might be doing. All black with the Kelly green helmet. Even if they can keep a third helmet the Kelly actually works with the black opposed to the midnight. Just brings the color way more into their branding. They’ve used a more neon version of it the last bunch of years kind of setting the groundwork. maybe it leads to more changes though yeah for the home and away. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltman Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 4 hours ago, MJD7 said: As for the Eagles’ wordmark, I similarly like it on its own, it’s a nice refresh that feels fitting for the team. However, in keeping the old eagle logo & presumably the old number font, I imagine the wordmark will look quite out of place. It feels like a half-measure when I would have preferred them to try a complete refresh. I think whenever they do the refresh positioning the Kelly green alts will be a big part of it. Lurie fought for that for awhile and will want to take his victory lap. Have a feeling it’ll be like the chargers a couple years ago but more options with the helmets. Even more if the league let’s them keep and use 3 like they want. Could see them use stuff like the black helmet with the white top and a version of the black pants as a rare combo. Really depends on how lax the league is. Eagles 2023/2024?

Kelly Green has stayed super popular within their merchandise for a long time, actually integrating it back in on the field will be big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagles can either choose Black or Kelly Green. They can't have both. And yeah, the new wordmark sucks. Reminds more of the Patriots changing their wordmark from something so beautiful into something so incredibly generic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMac Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Almost everything about the Eagles brand is outdated, except for the logo. That still holds up, IMO. But to replace the old wordmark with what I will call "generic modern NFL font" is not good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Flyers have a very generic modern NHL font too, but hockey you never see wordmarks so no one notices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be ok with it (but just ok, nothing higher) if the E had a more pronounced spike on the upper left, and maybe also the S on upper right. That would at least keep it consistent with previous word marks, even if the rest is pretty generic. at the end of the day, NFL word marks aren’t super important. Baseball and basketball matter most. Then a large gap, then football. Hockey word marks barely matter at all since they really only appear on helmets, and even then, it’s usually logos. 3 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Wordmarks usually end up on helmets (front and rear bumpers) and then they're incredibly important for end zones (especially for the Super Bowl), though 30-40 years ago it really wasn't the case - a number of teams had end zones that had nothing to do with their wordmarks. 2 Smart is believing half of what you hear.

I was thinking about this. I wonder what the arched word mark would look like if they kept the lettering the same, but flattened out the bottom to have it fit better in the end zones and bumpers. 2 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."Dr. Kelso: My son is a big baseball fan.

Green (whichever shade) and silver are the Eagles to me. It’s based on the Philadelphia mint. It’s part of the city and the team’s history. Also it sets them apart from the Jets. Black should be an accent. The fact that they don’t have silver or charcoal pants with the current set is a mistake in my opinion. 4 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."Dr. Kelso: My son is a big baseball fan.

There's also the other version of the now former wordmark that went out of vogue a good couple years back... It'd take some doing, but I believe they could probably fashion a script mark out from this that even if ever so slightly evokes a bird at flight.... 2 *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...
