goforbroke Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 this is what happens when you put the the pro bowl and super bowl in the same stadium, to make matters worse the pro bowl before the super bowl , hope you're happy goodell, the pro bowl should be hawaii where we don't care but a vacationIf the worst thing that comes out of the Pro Bowl during the bye week is the field is a little cut up for the Super Bowl I think the NFL will take it in a second. The interst and ratings were way up and the idk about you but the bye week is going a whole lot faster for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDixonDesign Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 From the reports, it just seems that the players are very disappointed with the Pro Bowl. I believe most of them just simply treat it like a free vacation, and "end" to the season of brutal past 6 months. Not having it in Hawaii, and a week before, has been IMO a big letdown, just look at the laundry list of people who backed out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleSmokey Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Any renderings out there of how the field art will look on SB Sunday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc... Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I still cant find a pic of the field completed. Ive seen the Colts end zone being painted. JKQ said he saw the Saints script in black so they will have gold end zone. But that photo seems to be locked up like Fort KnoxThis one is courtesy of the Toronto Sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewharrington Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Nice. The classic Super Bowl endzone is usually done in the team's secondary color (yellow for the Steelers, orange for the Bears, etc) unless that color is white or silver (like the Colts), in which case team primary color is more appropriate.

jc... Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Wow. They acutally used big lettering for the Saints. I thought it would have been smaller type like the Seahawks, Bears and Cardinals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cowboys, Packers and Niners all had team color endzones because the helmets are the second color. I think gold is a poor choice for the Saints endzone because it looks like tan or khaki on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL has missed a trick here. Good to see large type though.Bears Orange on Dark Blue end zones in XLI looked much better than those in XX. This was only possible because the NFL ditched the helmet endzones. Worst of the helmet end zones has to be the Eagles in Superbowl XV. Green type on Light Grey. The Light Grey and the end zone line are barely discernable. Do you think that the Saints not wearing black has influenced this a bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjzilligen Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I actually would've preferred black for the Saints endzone, gold doesn't look too hot when contrasted with the green of the grass. Anyways, I think it's amazing how nicely the field comes together for the SuperBowl. Great work by the field crew.

jc... Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I think the gold will show up nice under the lights. I read somewhere that the NFL is bringing in brighter ligghts for the HDTV telecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere that the NFL is bringing in brighter ligghts for the HDTV telecast.It could look better, but (if anyone knows about color) some hue of green is generally mixed with yellow and sometimes gray to make this goldish color. For example, if you try and recreate this color in, say Inkscape, you would have to use shades of green to get the correct color. Idk if it's just me, but I think for that reason it doensn't look good on grass. Dribbble | Twitter | Facebook | Portfolio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was orange then because of the navy helmets. I think the Bears' endzone looked bleh in XLI. The wordmark needed a white outline. However, they coulnd't do the white outline becuase then it would look like the "c" logo was part of the wordmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 The Saints wordmark seems bigger than what i had thought it would be. Updated.That field looks great. Last time it was in Miami they had that little stripe that housed the conference logos. I thought that looked awful and I'm glad they just put them in the corner opposite the team logo. Still, I miss the helmets in the endzone. Growing up and watching Super Bowl highlight tapes, that was just part of the super bowl for me. I'd love to see them return.
