WideRight Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 It's a good start. I like that they went with a lighter gold. A bit surprised that the logo is not just a bit bigger on the helmet, but not complaining. Hoping the get the Breakers and Panthers right. Those two are the most distinct (or were in the original USFL at least.) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphz Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 I was kinda wondering if they'd go with a white helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sykotyk Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Why does that stallion look like a Capybara? 13 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, the [lack of] contrast is a BIG issue here, but I don't know that an additional white keyline would do anything to help that. Then again, we haven't seen it in outdoor light yet, either. Nice horsehead logo, though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LogoFan Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Generals leaked as well. Pretty much like the original. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how well the white will stand out in the daytime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything larger and then the chinstraps and/or helmet vents would get in the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, I think the shape of the horse, and how it sort of abruptly cuts off at the base of the neck, is a little awkward. The Broncos helmet does something similar, but I think it's less noticeable because its logo stretches more horizontally, taking up a larger amount of space on the helmet.

It could be 5-10% bigger, moved a little lower, and still avoid the chinstrap and helmet vents. The bigger issue is the Generals helmet...the decal is positioned at the wrong angle. Decals should be angled upward if the helmet is on a flat surface. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogoFan Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 While the Generals helmet does stick closer to the original, IMHO, the satin finish like TSL used would really help upgrade the look. Also, what do you think about the stars on the new football? Looks cheesy to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the logos are smaller than they should be. I'm wondering if it's because of the vents on new helmets. I also notice this when looking at the Saints' fleur-de-lis. That thing used to be larger! I'm on board for both logos BUT I feel like the Generals didn't need the thick black outline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Generals logo is standard sized. I think it needs to be rotated a bit though, because part of the idea of a military attachment is that it stands at 90 degrees rather than being tilted to one degree or the other. The issue with the Stallions is that the neck is so short. The logo is already going over some of the vents so I don't think they see that as an issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might have been a good opportunity to go with a Jacksonville Bulls kind of wrap-around at the back of the helmet connecting the two stallion logos. Perhaps even with B'HAM put in there like there used to be BULLS. https://i.pinimg.com/236x/8d/8e/70/8d8e70ade239133d95a76afeaf8f0264--shop-fans-professional-football.jpg 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evidently these people do not understand about lighting, as they take a photo lit from the back. If they wanted to get the stands in the background, they could have set up a table on the field. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
