The vast majority of those uniforms have the primary logo on the sleeves, with helmet decals that play off the design of the helmet. As a fan that would buy a jersey, I’d rather have a primary logo on the jersey no matter what the helmet is doing, which is probably why we’ve seen the Falcons (across decades), Saints, Patriots, Cowboys alt/throwback, Dolphins, Seahawks throwback/2000s, Panthers, et al stick with the main logo. It’s not much different in baseball, where some teams have hat logos and sleeve patches that are the same, and work just as well as teams that have patches that aren’t hat logos. 2 Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I continue to fail to see what everyone else seems to see in the Bledsoe-era uniforms. Sometimes a convention of design can be broken so thoroughly and absurdly that it comes back around and becomes awesome. The Bledsoe era sleeve Elvis's are comically oversized but that's also what makes the cool. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolingian Steamroller Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Here's a crazy thought, two years from now the Patriots will have worn the Flying Elvis (1993-2024) for longer than Pat Patriot (1961-1992). 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it's the Eagles own fault for knowing the rules and messing up their timing (or, not messing it up but just planning poorly), it seems like a minor-enough change to be allowed to get done after this season. Not sure the manufacturers would need much lead time to put a different little patch under the collar. I more feel for all the fans that just bought AJ Brown, Reddick, and Dean jerseys. If they are making a change, I’d assume finally hearing about the one-shell rule going away was one of the major factors into deciding to do it, hearing if they can indeed use 3 will also factor into the finally choices.

Lights Out Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 On 6/24/2022 at 4:43 PM, WSU151 said: The Oilers' derrick (and similarly, the Roughnecks XFL logo) is nearly the exact same shape as Pat Patriot (Pat might even be more horizontal), and nearly everyone thought it was fantastic and want it too return, too. In this photo, Pat covers far more of the side of the helmet, which is actually a good thing. The Oilers' logo is at least simple and legible at any size or angle. Pat Patriot is the worst of both worlds: overly detailed and ill-suited to a helmet. 3 POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, I still love the damn thing on a helmet. It's confounding. There's so much wrong with it, yet it still works for me in ways I can't explain. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Patriot is the worst of both worlds: overly detailed and ill-suited to a helmet. I absolutely agree about it being overly detailed. I happen to think it works just fine on a helmet, though. An issue with Flying Elvis is its depth to the back of the helmet, eliminating the possibility of helmet stripes. That isn't a flaw, but I have seen concepts that try to homogenize things by adding stripes to a helmet with Elvis, and that won't fit (unless the stripes are truncated or Elvis is modified, and I haven't seen a concept that does that). 2 It's where I sit.

Not to defend the guy, but isn't plausible that he's just doing a photo op here to mimic the goofy cake topper on the wedding cake? It's not like the guy was standing at the altar in a Dolphins helmet.

I'm glad someone finally said it – no reason to believe it's anything more than a funny photo-op. Turns out it made the media rounds in 2017. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
