BBTV Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 50 minutes ago, WSU151 said: I wouldn't say large gap. 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. that’s all true, so I guess “important” is subjective. I hardly notice the helmet bumpers, and I don’t really focus much on the end zones (except when they look terrible in the super bowl like the Eagles did a few years ago). So you’re right that they’re still very visible, but just to me, not in a way that really affects the visual identity of the team too much. the Steelers, Patriots (the cursive style from the 90s-00s), Packers, and I guess now the 49ers have “important” word marks that would (or did) have a negative impact if/when changed. Maybe some other team that I’m missing. But I’m not sure how many others do. I’m sure I’m missing a couple. the Eagles 80s word mark would fall under that category, but it ain’t coming back so I just have to accept it. 6 "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."

agentrygraphics Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Something that was perhaps missed in the Saints reveal that really really bothers me. It's 2022 and the Saints STILL cannot, for the life of them, get their gold tones to match across the uniform. I get it...metallics are difficult to match...but we have seen other colleges and pro teams match or get metallics to a decent matching level. 6 "This isn't just the Oregon Ducks, it's Football's Future Turf Soldier War Hero Steel Robot Tech Flex Machine Army." -CS85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 They are trying to evoke the 80's wordmark with the wierd curves in the E's. The execution is horrible, but I see where they're coming from. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliforniaGlowin Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 No I posted it because of the LAC. I immediately thought of Clippers. Looks like a $15 liquor store hat. I mean....all of the people this has to go through (manufacturing, photo, website, etc), nobody steps up and says "is this wrong?" Maybe it isn't. 5 Last updated 5/23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These hats are on NFL Shop and the exact same colors and style are also offered for the Raiders, Niners, Dolphins, Buccaneers and Chargers. Trying to sight a retail hat as evidence of a team introducing a black uniform is a stretch to say the very least.

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.... I think if they had just flattened this and removed the 3D shadowing thing they would have been fine. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds are it was probably a incomplete photoshop job and whomever did it wasn't thinking that the C needed replaced when they replaced the bolt logo with the ram head.

Is that an Indigenous Persons throwback? Maybe a Football Team throwback? Or did they ever wear yellow pants as WFT? I suppose they could’ve added a yellow pant at the last minute after not including them in the reveal. That sounds like something a Snyder-owned outfit would do.

I was really hoping that the Saints would finally fix all the mis matching golds, change the black jersey to Archie Manning era one and maybe a 1969 preseason black helmet. INSTEAD they might just be teasing us with a full blown NIKE reboot with this new louis vuitton helmet. 1 I am sore,wounded, but not slainI will lay down and bleed a whileAnd then rise up to fight again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOVER Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 The Saints helmet is a pure debacle. No way around it. They've ruined one of the best Alternate uniforms in the league, and the team's best look. Should be a fireable offense. Eagles wordmark is boring & safe, but perhaps an upgrade over their dated 90's mark...but it doesn't make a lot of sense for this to be their sole update. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hormone Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 There’s two ways to look at the commanders possible yellow pants 1) using madden as a guide can be wrong. See bears orange pants. 2) they could be an add on like the browns orange pants…which happened to not be available for the reveal and probably had nothing to do with fan outcry 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
