tigerslionspistonshabs Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 And yes...the Lions won 3 of 4 Super Bowls in the alternate universe and have been to 3 others =)My brain cannot comprehend this. Not the alternate universe thing, the Lions winning the Superbowl thing. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Robbman, are the 97 to 2012 and present logos custom logos? I know the old 9ers logo but I'm curious bout the other two. Spoilers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbman21 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Sort of yes, I found a couple of similar poses on a clipart site that my work uses, so I took them and modified them to work in the 49er/miner context, and to also play the role of the dolphin through the years.

ninersdd Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I can def see that...who's logo is that?I posted it from my phone, and initially it wasn't appearing for some reason, so I found another image (that is appearing) and it's the Edmonton Oilers alternate from like the mid 90s to 2007 or so.

robbman21 Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Ah ok got it. I guess I didn't make the connection because I always think of the Oilers as royal blue and orange, so the gold and darker colors threw me off. On these helmets I struggled with making them white and almost went with the gold, but I didn't think the striping on the new helmet would work out with a gold helmet. I may post them anyway just to get feedback. They could always be used when I get around to posting the whole uniform and back history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwmoore Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I'm not altogether sure about the Philly throwbacks but love the rest. Try a Kelly Green helmet with one of the newer logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 The evolution of the 49ers logo doesn't make sense. The 1849 miner wouldn't look anything like a modern miner. It's like taking the Colt .45s original logo and evolving it into a 9mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbman21 Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Well not exactly, a Colt 45 is a specific type of gun, so representing it as anything but that would be wrong. My thought process is that there's no way in this modern world would a forward-thinking league like the NFL allow a "guns-a-blazing" logo like that to represent one of its teams after x amount of years. Since a dolphin is an animal and a 49er a person, there's only so many parallels to modernizing them, ie the Dolphin is always going to look like a dolphin but the look/roll/image of a miner is going to change and evolve over time. And honestly other than the looks of the logos I don't see anything too terribly modern since those lighted minor helmets have been around at least since the 1920's, maybe before there was even an NFL. I guess what it comes down to is my rules that I state back in the very first post, and also the fact that not every team can be a perfect match for whom they represent. I appreciate all the info, opinions, and feedback on this series for sure because without it I wouldn't keep going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryptik Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I love the newest set, the Lions one is especially inspired.As far as the 49ers go, I like the updated miner, but if you need something less prone to 'overmodernization', you could always try with a gold nugget, with '49ers' imprinted in it or something. Fitting it into the mold of the Dolphins and the 49ers both might be a tad tricky though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
