I'm fine with the occassional monochrome as long as contrasting socks are worn but that's rarely the case anymore.

The Chiefs manage to do it both right and wrong:

 

Decent, can live with it for a game or 2 a season

The Bengals did it right in the early years of the current set...

...but now look like crap

For me, the helmet color also has to match the monochrome (like with the Broncos and Chiefs). However, I don't think I've ever seen a team do that (besides the Chiefs that one time). I like the top Bengals one though, but those side panels ruin everything.

The Panthers' new logos and uniform set have grown on me. I now prefer them to the originals, especially the logo.

Story B: Red Wings go undefeated and score 100 goals in every game. They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

I don't think that the uniforms changed, (Other than the template cut)  just the logos did. Now I'm not 100% positive, but I don't see any changes in comparing the two...

Not sure if it's technically "unpopular" or not but I prefer the original Seahawks logo. It has a more authentic, less "corporate sports" feel. logohistory_new.jpg

 

Absolutely unpopular. 

 

It looks sad rather than agressive. It's uneven, sloppy. Line work is all over the place. 

 

Ugh.

And that's great for a traditional Pacific Northwest totem pole and a team in the 70's, but for a professional football team in 2002/2016, blegh.

I'd argue that a big problem with professional sports in general is that all the logos are looking too similar. Well rendered but homogeneous. Sure it could be refined a bit but I love that it looks authentic and not like every other new logo out there.

To be fair, the redesign kept most elements in place. The eye is the only part that is very "cookie cutter" from those "well rendered but homogeneous" logos.

Yes, I'd say the eye for sure, and the upcurve on the tail (upper left) and italicizing of the whole form are all what I think are "cookie cutter" aspects.

That just adds flow to the logo instead of just having it end sharply. Adds balance and an end in the visual hierarchy of the logo itself.

 

I strongly disagree with you, on a technical and objectively visual standpoint. But hey, this is the whole point of this thread.

I agree that in a vacuum, side by side, the new logo is a much better crafted piece. It seems we may just disagree as to the value of the historical aesthetic of the original logo. And believe me, I've just recently started to have this opinion so it could flip flop back again too.

I agree that the original Seahawks logo looks sad - tortured, even - but I still prefer it to the other two. It has the best color scheme of the three and just looks very totem pole-ish. The designer of the original nailed it.

I've always liked colored uniform pants. I also like all of these, but the current color rush program with jerseys , pants, socks and cleats being the same color is too much.
