andrewharrington Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Man, that brand toolkit is awful. The fact that there are two diametrically opposite colorways for each background color and 6 (!) colorways for a white background? Come on. The worst part is classifying the helmet logo as a “secondary” mark. Just doesn’t make much sense and seems very confusing for a designer or licensee to use effectively. 5 I still don't have a website, but I have a dribbble now! http://dribbble.com/andyharry [The postings on this site are my own and do not necessarily represent the position, strategy or opinions of adidas and/or its brands.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a unique thing within the league's branding. Only thing with Washington is their primary and secondary marks are just color swaps of each other. 5 hours ago, LA Fakers+ LA Snippers said: This is ridiculous.

Echo Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 7 hours ago, Krona said: Not a lot that would save this helmet (seems completely unnecessary) but inverting the colors on the C would go a long way. That shade of orange works like a lighter color, which in my mind, signals to make the darker color the outline. If they wanted an orange helmet, they should of just really mixed in up and add stripes or put another logo on there altogether. It's like they wanted to stick to tradition in the most garish of ways. The C is pretty much invisible from any kind of distance. Maybe a white C with navy outline would be better. Also would match the numbers on the orange jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Doesn’t the NFL give exceptions to the 5 year rule if there’s an ownership change? If so, I’m hoping Snyder gets the boot even if for that and only that reason. 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."

The biggest problem is that the most likely person to become the new owner is Tanya Snyder... who is the one that designed the uniforms. 1 hour ago, Shumway said: I actually work for a sponsor of the Commanders, so I got all the logos and style guides when they came out.

I'm still not buying one, because Dan Snyder. EDIT: They're also selling one with yet another colorway that isn't even in that mess from above, because sure, why not. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's too much potential for a puppet owner scheme there, and even if Tanya isn't a pushover, Dan would still have some influence. They have to (and if the league does) will go out together.

-Akronite- Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 On 10/9/2022 at 11:11 PM, MJD7 said: That's a big reason why I'd want the Bills to go back to the red helmet full-time (or at least as the primary, given the elimination of the one-helmet rule): it would help them stand out more in their division and the rest of the league. The Colts already have the white/blue/white combo locked down; of course, the Colts don't have any red, but I still like the Bills being able to distinguish themselves even more. There aren't enough red helmets in the league. This is a good argument. The one hitch, to me at least, is that the Bills logo looks much better on a white background. Similar issue with the Texans, even if the overall uniform is better with a colored helmet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave-Bird 08 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Last night's game was so lifeless. There is nothing wrong with the uniform the Bears wore -- it just simply wasn't the Bears. Washington looked ridiculous, and it's not the uniform design for me, it's the all-white from neck to toe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
