Gothamite Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I love it, too. They found a way to update it, yet keep it classic like it has been for over half a centuryThat makes it a perfect update. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

This and Cardinals' update have to be the the two best facelifts in NFL logo history.

kajeet Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Love it. This is exactly what I was hoping for. The new shade of yellow is great too, can't wait to see it on a jersey (but hopefully NOT on the collar).Thank you Zygi.Hopefully not on the shoulders either. It just doesn't look right IMO.

BrianLion Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 meh, it's still Hulk Hogan in a pointy hat.Uniforms were always the bigger issue, not the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raysfan12 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Today, via Facebook, the Minnesota Vikings released their new logo.Differences:Horn shape now matches the one on the helmetShorter braidBolder face linesBrighter yellowThis update is just perfect. Some of the best upgrades are just the simplest things to change. The horns look so much better and the face lines make the new Vikings logo one of the better looks in the NFL.

Lights Out Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I still think the linework isn't thick enough, especially the outside border. It's a slight improvement, but still not that great of a logo. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Upgrade, especially like the horns matching the helmetExcept they don't.The logo horns still have those little black shading lines at the tip, which the helmet logo horns don't. Would look much better without them. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkatron101 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 It's funny how many people on their facebook page are upset about this. Some people just can't handle change, no matter how insignificant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jt0323 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 It's funny how many people on their facebook page are upset about this. Some people just can't handle change, no matter how insignificant.pretty much it. i can't wait to see the dolphin fans reaction to their logo...But in 10-15 years the vikes alter the logo, the same people complaining will say how great this logo was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy B Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 This is the perfect update. It definitely keeps the classic image that the old logo has, but fixes up a lot of things to keep it looking fresh. I still don't think it's perfect. I think the logo horns could be a little cleaner and it still looks like his eye is closed, but it's definitely an update. If the Dolphins logo is what was leaked, then I wish they would have gone a lot closer to this route.And this is reassuring for the logo. Keeping the traditional feel while touching it up to improve them should end up in a great look for the throwback uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Ehh. It's definitely not a bad update by any means. But it's such a minor change.

steff002 Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 It's funny how many people on their facebook page are upset about this. Some people just can't handle change, no matter how insignificant.That's what I was thinking. People who don't notice the little things about logos won't care, but I, with little doubt, say that most of the people on these threads aren't regular people looking at logos. We disect them.

GFB Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 It's better, but I was never a fan of the original design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pittfan11 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 First thing I noticed what the shortening of the horns and them taking away most of those stupid lines. Me gusta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmoehrin Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Was fine with the last logo and this one looks fine as well.Just please, PLEASE ditch the barney purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmd9 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 If only the Dolphins would do something similar....You want the dolphins to make a change that 90% of the world wouldn't notice? Seems pointless. From a $$ standpoint, I don't think fans will go out and buy a new hat just because this logo is on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
