DOlphin Colored Logo

[CAVALIER]

Anyone notice that this Superbowl had the colors of the Miami Dolphins? Was this the first time that the home teams colors were used as the game logo?

[TruColor]

I don't know...they're not THAT similar:

vs the latest Super Bowl logo (ignore all of the "additional colors" - they're just used in some of the additional artwork for the Super Bowl):

I think the colors were less Miami Dolphins and more city of Miami. The colors were clearly an effort Miami Vice/South Beach/the 80's... i thought it was a beautiful mixture of colors on a poorly executed logo.

I agree that is was a poorley executed logo, but I thought iw a pretty striking resemblence to Dolphon Colors especially the sideline "wrap"

On a related note, why does Miami have to trot out Gloria Estefan for every Super Bowl played there? Is she the only example of saucy Latin music in the entire city?

Does anyone know what the significance of the pylon was/is? We've been discussing this on one of the Cardinals' forums, and I honestly don't know why the "I" in the logo is supposed to represent a pylon:

I hope this doesn't come across as sarcastic, but why not? Maybe he sat there and looked at the design and thought about using a football element in the logo that no one had ever used before. This is also only the second time that a football has been used in the Super Bowl logo, 1991 was the first.

Because it signifies the end zone?

Interesting. Was this game originally scheduled for Boise?

What I've heard (maybe on here, IDK) was that the theme was "One Goal". Pylons mark the goal on the field. Pylons can also look like an I, which is 1, and there ya go.

Lame? Yeah. But that's probably why..

[CAVALIER]

Yeah, I don't get it.... Hey Pantone what do you think about the Cardinals uniforms after two years? Hope my Saints get a decent change...

Close enough. It was One Game, One Dream. Here's another pic from that guide:

I'm still on the fence a little bit. Part of me loves the fact that they FINALLY added Black back into the color scheme, but part of me wishes they hadn't gone with so many "trendy" elements (e.g., piping, swooshey pant striping, side panels). I've have been wanting changes for so long, my perspective might be a little distorted.

I LOVE the new logo however. In my mind, it was the perfect modernization.

Still HATE the Gray facemasks.

Well, if it was it certainly would've capped off a good year for blue horses...

If you don't count Barbaro.

I do not know, but I did however come up with an idea for a Super Bowl LI logo that uses an uprights motif that does slightly resemble the XLI logo. If may have just been decided to use the pylon because it is such an underused aspect of football.

Yhea I'm pretty sure there wasn't any siginificance to the pylon used for the 1.

What I don't like about this logo is that it's basically last year's, recolored with the pylon thrown in and the odometer element taken out. Not that next year's is any improvement.....

I think to an extent theyre similar. That extent is that they both have the same white.

I hope you don't mind me taking this a little further off-topic:

Good to hear from a Cards fan - you pretty much summed up how I feel about the uniforms, and I agree that the modernized logo is fantatsic - I think they leapfrogged into the Top 10 with that one.

[CAVALIER]

I kinda like the grey face mask, the whole throwback thing is really growing on me...

Since when is "Fluorescent Orange" another way of saying "Hot Pink?" Or maybe it means, "We admit it might look kind of pinkish, but we better call it something else, because nothing in a sports logo can ever be labeled Hot Pink."
