BBTV Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Do away with the inner stripes and have the bird head go the whole way in. I'm not sure how that could work from a production standpoint, but that's not my problem. 1 "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."

From a production standpoint, the current template wouldn't really support this anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCarp1231 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Due to the uniform cuts, I don’t see the Seahawks using these But instead, these Or at the very least, omitting the bird head from the first uniforms 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge Instagram post about it posted three days ago. Plenty of current teams with lots of stripes on sleeves, I don't know why the Seahawks would be problematic. https://www.instagram.com/reel/ClerdRJAeLA/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading 5 1 Smart is believing half of what you hear.

They'll scale it down, it's no different than any other stripe print. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s true. Gotta make sure they show off the swoosh with 3” of blank space in all directions 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old School Fool Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 There is no way the logo won't be on the sleeves. It's the defining feature of the jersey. The real question for me is what number font will they use? Will it be the fat block one from before 1994 or the sort of sans serif one from after? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jim Zorn / Steve Largent photo has the beak edging right up to the facemask, while the later image shows a few inches gap. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's the same decal, but applied on a different style of helmet. These were applied from the ridgeline forward, so they'd stop in a different place. 5 It's where I sit.

I know that most teams have probably shrunk their logos but the Fleur-de-lis, to me, always stood out as having shrunk in size since I started watching. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that most teams have probably shrunk their logos but the Fleur-de-lis, to me, always stood out as having shrunk in size since I started watching. I believe they have shrunk the size of the physical decal/logo itself, for sure. We'd likely have to compare game-used helmets to confirm that, though. However, two other things likely contribute to that: 1) If I'm not mistaken, today's helmets are bigger and with limited space to place the logos (given the various gaps and openings the helmets have now) and 2) (and more importantly, I think), the logo now has like 39 keylines whereas before it only had one. So even if the physical logos are the same size (e.g. each decal is 4" tall or whatever), the actual fleur de lis is smaller because the rest of the space is taken up by the 91 outlines. (OK, I know, it's only three, or two with one being offset. But still, it's more than necessary; it was an excellent logo with just the white outline.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
