smackdaddy Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Any one have a guess as to what the end zones and field logos will look like for Super Bowl XL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meetthemets Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I would say that one endzone would have "Seahawks" in it and the other one will say "Steelers." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swelch1976 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Assuming the recent past holds true, the Steelers will have their logo and wordmark in the left end zone- they've always painted their end zone gold with black letters. The Seahawks will have the right end zone. I'm guessing it will be the same dark blue (or Seahawks Blue- I don't know what it's called. Pantone?) that Qwest Field's end zones are painted. Recently- the NFL Shield has been at the 50, and the SB logos are at the 35s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling that you bay be right about the Seahawks endzone, but anything is possible for the Steelers (it might be gold, it might be black). I remember back in Super Bowl XXXIV the Rams endzone was gold (instead of the Rams blue one) and the Titans endzone was carolina blue (unlike their endzone at home) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Boy Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I like the old school Super Bowl endzones, with the team name flanked by two helemts (one with the team logo and one with the conference logo). Can anyone find a picture?I thought the helmets framed the team name better than the NFL shield and conference logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBear Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 They won't do it this year, but for the 50th game, I'd like to see them bring back the special logo they did for the first Super Bowl (just saw it this AM on ESPN Classic). It was a shield with five points up top (topped with dots to make them look like a crown) and 1 9 6 7 in the spaces between them, with "NFL-AFL" in an arc over a football which made the bottom of the shield.Of course, I wouldn't mind seeing "PACKERS" in one end zone, either....Here's a link to it; the photo is copyrighted so I won't just show it here.

swelch1976 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Out of curiosity, how can you predict left and right?For the last 35 years or so- the "home" team has had their end zone on the left side of the field- not sure why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewharrington Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 We Browns fans are at 42 years and counting, and that counting shows no signs of stopping.

NickSixers Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Here's one of my photos of last year's field for comparison/reference:Not the greatest angle of the picture, but I thought it might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 At least you've been to two and won one in the last decade. Us Jet fans (yes, we do exist) are at 37 years and counting... The Jets?...please. You know NOTHING of MY pain. In fact, only Cubs fans understand the pain of being an Arizona Cardinals fan (I've been one for over 36 years), and even Cubs fans have each other to lean on in rough times.Cardinals fans? We're out on an island all by ourselves.Here are the facts:Two NFL Championships. One (1922) has been in constant dispute with the city of Pottsville, PA who believe that the Maroons actually deserved the title. They might be right. The 1947 championship is the only one that is truely OURS. And, it was almost 60 years ago.The oldest continuously run football organization with an all-time record of (since 1920) 453-653-39.38 different head coaches since 1920.No Super Bowl appearances.Four playoff appearances in my lifetime (I was born in 1963). One victory (1998).2006 marks the first season that Cardinals fans will have a home to call our own. Maybe things will turn around, but no one's holding their breath either.

WSU151 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 WHY did you have to show that picture, I just got over that loss last year . It took you three years to get over a loss? I'm guessing yellow endzone for the Steelers, navy endzone for the Seahawks. What will be interesting is if they color the Seahawks' wordmark or just leave it a boring white like at Qwest Field. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 actually it was designed to resemble a cactus (what variety exactly escapes my mind). i think personally that peter eisenmann did an awesome job with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 It looks like a UFO It's supposed to represent (and I'm not joking here) a barrel cactus combined with the shape of a coiled snake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hormone Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Maybe they should use the Steeler logo from the blank side of the helmet or the slash lines in the endzone during college season j/k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
