johnnysama Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 YMMV on this one, but there are rare examples out there where an alternate uniform/logo looks better than the primary one.IMO, the final Portland Beavers road cap logo:....looked better than their primary.Well.... that is all I can really think of at this time. If there are any more, I'll be sure to share them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aci Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Most NBA alternate logos are better than the primaries.Also, all three Ottawa Senators alternate logos are far superior to their current primary: Hamilton Eagles- 2012 and 2013 Continental Hockey League Champions! 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 & 2015 CHL East Division Champions! Niagara Dragoons- 2012 United League and CCSLC World Series Champions! 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 UL Robinson Division Champions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltjets21 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I think the alternate has replaced the designated home uniform, off the top of my head I think of the Atlanta Falcons,Titans, and soon to be broncos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knnhrvy16 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Much better than the navy roads, in my opinion. The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Since this topic was created, I'll speak my long-held opinion on the matter.In my mind, a successful alternate should aim to look better than the primary(ies). And you'll know when that objective has been achieved when fans and other observers start clamoring for the alternate look to become the primary (speaking about uniform sets here). The thing about alternates, though, is this: part of their appeal is in their limited exposure, but once they become more regularly exposed i.e. become the primary, that luster dies out rather quickly. Case in point: Tennessee Titans (and to a much lesser extent, the Atlanta Thrashers). Fans of both teams clamored for the columbia/baby/powder blue jerseys of both sets to become the primaries. Now look where we are with the Titans...they have a great road look (since they introduced the columbia pants), but their home look has been all kinds of jacked up since the switch--and remember, when that light blue jersey first came out, they were a HOT item. Same thing with the navy Cleveland Cavaliers alternates a few years ago (taking a risk here--y'all already know what it is)...it got to a point where they were wearing the navy alts (which to me was the best-looking set of the bunch) seemingly more than their regular wine roadies.Anyway, that's just an opinion I've long had. Time will tell how this plays out with the Denver Broncos (and if the rumors prove to be true, the Jacksonville Jaguars)...oughtta be interesting to see. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blue pants and the white pants with the orange stripe would not work. FDCO Fonts NFL Re-Design Project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zpqmaowl Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I think the Kings' purple crown logo looks better than the LA penciltip logo, but the penciltip jersey looks a lot better.Also, the Ducks' 3rd is their best.' the worst helmets design to me is the Jacksonville jaguars hamlets from 1995 to 2012 because you can't see the logo vary wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
