Because Syracuse and Illinois pull it off better and the Denver Broncos missed the mark for something like that look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of that I’ve seen before, because I’m obsessed with that 97 change, but I had NO idea they were considering going with dark blue/purple. That gives off big time Orlando Rage vibes (which is also one of my personal favorite weird football uniforms), and I can see how that could’ve worked. Some of those logos are pretty good, while other ones are… uh, not (that center stripe is a disaster. And they already got sued by Al Davis for using black and being pirate adjacent. He would’ve had a field day with some of those shield logos, especially on a silver helmet). Ultimately though, they went with the right choice. 13 Quote On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

PrimalCookie Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 4 hours ago, DCarp1231 said: A good watch- It's interesting how a lot of concepts had orange in a more prominent role than it ended up in, and I'm fascinated by that near-indigo color they had replacing black. I see the vision there and I'd love to see a matching uniform set, but black works much better with the overall brand so it was probably a good call to shelve that idea. The silver helmet also would've looked good, but pewter was definitely the right choice, as was the shorter flag. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 That old “hand drawn” looking skull is so far and away better looking than the current overly clean robot skull it’s really pretty sad. 23 1 Quote http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCarp1231 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 The design I was most interested in seeing for the first time was the silver helmet with the “TB” logo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notice how they dropped the orange backside of the flag and inserted the orange football to keep the same color balance. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That TB logo would have made for a nice secondary mark, though I don't think it's a better helmet logo than what they went with - but the color balance is exactly what the Bucs should have done the whole time. Pewter first, then orange, and then traces of red. I wish they had shown some prototype uniform designs too. 3 Quote POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Al Davis would’ve spontaneously combusted had they used that logo. He sued them for what they used already (and the Panthers, for having black and silver). I think the Ravens too, for having a shield. 7 Quote On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

Depending on the design process, they literally might not exist. I think what @MCM0313 is getting at is that they may have developed helmet concepts but not uniforms to go with them. Maybe someone more connected to the process could chime in. 1 Quote It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's always been my assumption regarding Tampa's first redesign. And up until now, I hadn't questioned it, even though I had no hard reason to think that way. I always just assumed that they started with the helmet and came up with a bunch of ideas for it. Then once they settled on a helmet, they went from there with the uniforms. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be surprised if there were drawings - maybe rough sketches - of the uniforms for each helmet. I doubt there’s anything super detailed, and I’d be very surprised if physical prototypes were developed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
