i find it funny when people contribute to a board about sports logos, then complain when people get excited about sports logos.

...wait, i find it annoying.

Amen, brother.

If you folks dont like people gushing, positively or negatively about uniforms and sports logos, find another board.

I think you two fine blokes misunderstand me.

I'm not complaining.

I'm making fun of the Star Wars-esque obsessiveness of some of our fellow board members, which may or may not include yourselves.

Of course, since the very last people who like to hear jokes about being obsessive about stuff are the very people who are obsessed, I understand the consternation.

Carry on.

Tease, exaggerate, and parody if you want, for sure. We have a lot of fun around here with that sort of thing. We enjoy it.

Though we generally tend to use humor in the form of exaggeration, so as to make people laugh, which clues people in that we were kidding.

Just a theory.

But I still don't get it it...

Why be a member of this forum if you aren't "star-wars obssessed"?

These may noy be as bad as some of the other new designs, but i see a bad trend in the NFL. Every league has seen the revolutionary design in logos and unis. baseball had the 70s: Astros, Padres, light blue roads and yellow bananas for the A's and Pirates. the NBA had a few bad periods, most recently the 90s: Hawks giant bird, Rockets pajamas, Raptors tragedies. they all cycle through and stabalize for a few years until someone gets fancy with a design. the NFL is no different. The return to tradition has already trickled in and in 10 years, the Falcons, Vikings, and Broncos will be wearing theyre classic style uniforms.

i heard a new number font too, but who knows. Could be a bit like the Rams Block, then unique numbers when they redesigned.

Not quite sure what your saying, but...

The Rams new jerseys were always supposed to have the unique font, and all fan jerseys have always had that font(well, I can't gurantee that some authentics weren't sold with block).

For some reason the Rams wore block numbers ther first year of the new jerseys though. What I've heard is that the team wanted to keep some connection to the uniforms they won it all in.

Except that the block on the Rams first new jersey was different than the block on the SB jerseys (Especially the 2s.) Didn't someone say at the time that there was some legibility concerns by the league? Probably doesn't make sense since the current font was the proposed font and it is perfectly legible. I know the league did that to the Jags at one point.

Yeah, but I could still see the players seeing a block font as a block font regardless of the fact that it was a different one.

I don't know about legibility concerns.

And here we have the pants design...

So that's how the white side panel lines up with the pants. Bron-falc-inals, IMHO. Still better than Barney though.

Found that here.

Thats wierd. it looks like the Pants Brad johnson and the guy on his left are wearing are different that the two guys on the outside. Thats odd.

That's Birk, Winfield, Johnson and Wiggins. It seems like you should see something on Johnson's side, but you can see some gold trim on Winfield's knee...
