Nemesis Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Cool part of the show...Tom Lewand gets a bunch of kids up on stage with him before the uniforms were introduced.He asks their ages and get's mostly from 5 to 9 years old.He then looks around at all of them and says to the effect; "I want to apologize to all of you that we haven't won since most of you were born."He then gave them all T-Shirts. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 ? The sleeves are a new knit sleeve that features a wide silver trim, inside two smaller white trims and those all inside two black trims of equal width as the white trim. The new material is improved and more flexible for players. The trim is part of the knit-sleeve material, which was changed from the previous silk-screened sleeve.So is this like the Steelers' durene sleeves?

BlueSky Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Pass >> logo, wordmark, stripe consistency (even if the stripes are bad), black shoesFail >> continued stupid use of black for black's sake, number font that looks like a Bears-Broncos love child, using "sleeve" stripes on jerseys that don't have sleeves thus giving a tape effectStripes no longer work on jersey sleeves, which we only call sleeves anymore because "skintight hole where arms come out" is kind of long and clunky. Why don't designers accept this and develop (or use existing) secondary logos on the sleeves? Like the Saints had with the state of Louisiana sleeve logo, which I guess is an ironic example to use because I couldn't stand those jerseys, but having the helmet logo on sleeves doesn't work either. How cool would it have been for the Lions to use an updated version of this on the sleeves? You could run those stripes to the collar for all I care, vertical would look better than the horizontal tape look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennisbergan Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Fail >> continued stupid use of black for black's sake.Black is a part of the Lions color scheme, whether people like it or not.The Lions use black as a TRIM color. And, they use it very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintsfan Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I think its hard to dislike anything the Lions did here. Nothing to get excited about but a neat new logo, a modern number font that isn't intrusive and sure the black seems redundant, but actually it helps bring out the silver on the stripes. And its nice to see that Bubbles has grown up! 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 So the only thing that I dislike about this is the number font (it's going to be dated in about 5 or 6 years) and the black facemask. Overall, this was a good update now that it's official. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could run those stripes to the collar for all I care, vertical would look better than the horizontal tape look.I don't know anything official on this, but I'm getting the feeling that the NFL is doing away with secondary logos. Pretty much all of the newer sets have just a primary logo and a wordmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I'd love that number font if it weren't for those silly notches. Additionally, I feel like the home numbers should be white-black-silver, instead of white-silver-black. Does anyone else get annoyed by two light colors on top of each other like that? I have the same issue with the Patriots' home jerseys.

gordie_delini Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Well the new logo looks good except for a few things for me...1) the random swoops in the mane seem out of place and 2) the snout looks like a beak. So with those things in mind, I made a couple of changes. Original is on the left, mine is on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, they use it very well.It wasn't always part of the scheme. My main objection is that black goes very nicely with some colors, not so well with others - like Honolulu Blue and Silver. No harm in disagreement, you have your view, I have mine. I did forget one item on my "pass" list - keeping the traditional look and not going all Minnesota on us.

eRay Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Upon further inspection, I hate this a little more. The White uniforms' numbers match the sleeve stripes, but the Blue uniforms' don't. Bugs the hell out of me, probably my biggest pet peeve. If they look good matching on one uniform, what makes you think they will look good unmatched on the other uniform? There are just many small things that rub me the wrong way about these uniforms, but I know I should love that they kept it simple and didn't go the route the Jags are heading. I just get irritated when I look at them...even though I know they aren't horrible. Inexplicable I guess.Also, since when were football pants worn like shorts? I thought they covered the knee at least? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quantum Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I love these "still too much black" comments. The black is about as minimal as it can get. Such statements come off as sour grapes.
