Patsfan99 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Inspired by the "uniforms I miss" thread, I thought I'd vent briefly about something that has bothered me for the last few years....why on earth do the ravens put their decals so high on their helmets? it almost seems to get higher every year... it's almost to the point where you can't see the whole logo in a profile shot...why can't they put it in the middle of the helmet where it's supposed to be?this annoys the heck out of me every time I watch them... which, thankfully, is not too often....

infrared41 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I imagine it's to keep those uniforms as ugly as possible. They are doing a great job with it if that is their intent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 somewhere there is a joke in here... something about jamal lewis keeping the ravens logo high...but i'm too lazy to find the joke, and put it into words long story short, the ravens are all criminals... and we should throw things at them.

The Nation Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Why all the hate, what I want to know is why people hate the Ravens uni so much, is it the soccer style crest that they have on their sleeves, is it the numbering scheme, is it their colour choices(purple, black and white). What is it exactly. And also ColeDMD, whats up with all the hate towards the organization, if its about Ray Lewis and the double murder charges then theres something really wrong with those comments.I admit there have been a few Ravens players who are really good that have been in trouble with the law, but theres a lot of them who have not.

Chief. Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Eh, just another reason for us to hate them. Just another of those little flaws that could easily be fixed, but never will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galwegian Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I thought they put them high up so that the curvature of the bird head runs parallel with the curvature of the helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtrich11 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Sooooo... basically nobody here knows?Anyone want to email the Ravens' equipment manager? Let's get it from the guy who sticks them on there.Then we'll ask why Northwestern does the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Apollo Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 In an effort to seriously answer the original question. I believe the logo is so high on the helmet in an effort to prevent it from being covered by the high chin strap snap. Many helmets have the double chin strap that snaps up on the temple area of the helmet and it does cover some of the logos. I'm guessing the Ravens are trying to avoid this. Anybody else notice that the Packers do the same thing?"Hey Brett! either or get off the pot!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nation Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Thanks for the logical answer, it makes sense, you don't want the decal covered up by chinstraps...anyways to all the ravens haters out there, do you hate them because the Ravens won the Superbowl with a non-existent offense, was it because the ravens could of had any QB that year and still won the superbowl, how about the fact that their leader and Superbowl 35 MVP was charged for double murder, how about Art Model. Whatever the reason is the Ravens will go down in history as one of the best defenses of the 00's, and will always be remembered alongside other defenses like the 85' Bears and the gritz blitz falcons.So to all the Raven haters ....i say muhahahaha....

rmackman Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I doubt its the curvature thing. The Broncos logo is the same general shape and they have it positioned right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leopard88 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 long story short, the ravens are all criminals... and we should throw things at them.Titans fan per your sig, I see. Sounds like someone is still a little bitter about seeing his team manhandled at home during the Ravens' Super Bowl run. As for the mismatched colors, the only inconsistency I see is the two shades of purple (which, I presume, includes a lighter purple for the logo so it shows up better against the black helmet). As for the red and yellow, they are there because they are part of the Maryland flag (see below), which is incorporated into the shield logo. I don't why their inclusion is a problem at all.

RichMGH Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 It's funny how people have a bias against the Ravens for two major reasons: Art Modell leaving Cleveland and Ray Lewis's incident in Atlanta.Yet, shockingly, no one hates the Colts' ownership for moving a team that was just as loved as the Browns (AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.)And...no one considers the Panthers a team of criminals even though they had a wide receiver who actually was convicted of a murder attempt on his girlfriend.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 My top ten reasons not to like the Ravens:1) Art Modell2) Ray Lewis3) Jamal Lewis4) Tony Siragusa's cheap shot on Rich Gannon5) Boring uniforms6) Brian Billick7) They have a MNF football game every year for no good reason8) Super Bowl XXXV was boring, and I consider it never having happened9) I'm too young to care about the Baltimore Colts10) Cleveland deserved the Super Bowl they wonAre those enough?
