Gothamite Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Seriously though, many people here have long debates over the Cleveland Browns' old Elf logo. Is THAT Elf logo iconic or even remotely relevant in today's era?Yes. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSky Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Pat Patriot was a subpar logo.The Flying Elvis is a subpar logo.Far as I'm concerned, the Patriots have only had one really good helmet logo:My main beef with any of their old looks was the fact that they wore bright red jerseys. I might have covered this in another post, but I just think that if you are going to have a nickname that refers back to the Revolutionary War period then avoid red as a primary. The British wore red....not the colonists. I think the switch to their current color scheme is perfect.Not going to debate the uniform colors, only wish to stress that the first helmet logo was the only halfway decent one the Patriots ever had.Agreed. Wish I had "skillz" like Bucco and many others here. I'd do a concept using this logo but on a silver helmet without the number. The logo would have a white/red outline. That would look great.

In my opinion, the Patriots' tri-corner hat logo doesn't meet that standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes much more sense thematically.If the Patriots' switch to using Blue as their primary color had been accompanied by a redesign of "Pat Patriot" similar to the update/modernization of Miami's dolphin logo, I don't think you would have heard any complaints from Patriots fans. That said, given the track record of success the organization has enjoyed under the "Flying Elvis" logo, I don't see the latter being abandoned for quite some time.
