rainmaker17 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Sometimes these things grow on me. This is having the opposite effect the more I look at it. Truly, truly hideous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powersurge Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Sorry...I just had to. Don't want to turn this thread into "Lets fix the helmet brigade!" But I just had to try to see what it could have beenThe two tone just doesn't work here. Only instances it has worked San Diego state and Arkansas only because its fading into black at the end and not sharing half a helmet. Stupid concept. If the world football league, xfl, arena didn't do it then that should tell you to stay away!!I think it could work if the gold was more mustard and darker like the old Pitt Panthers helmet. But then it would look like a mustard stained helmet. When there is too much of a contrast between colors then two toned helmets don't work. So I guess in the end you are right...it just doesn't work here no matter how you cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the world football league, xfl, arena didn't do it then that should tell you to stay away!!If they were set on using the gradient, I'd almost rather they simply left the logo decal off. Hard edge logo over smooth gradient simple isn't working. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgiff17 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Arkansas but black in place of red and gold ND gold at the bottom would really look sweet so the logo is completely in the black and the fade has some outline to follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentColon Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Will players cut open that vent the logo is blocking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgiff17 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I'd rather see the jag spots painted on there with no logo than this just duuuuumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSHARE18 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 The further away the view of the helmet the better it looks. I cant wait to see how it looks on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powersurge Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I can now say this definitively and without any reservations: I am a big fan of this new Jaguar logo. It has truly grown on me and I think it looks fantastic on a helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockstar Matt Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Lol, still doesn't do it for me. A flat black helmet would be far superior in my opinion. Cowboys - Lakers - LAFC - USMNT - LA Rams - LA Kings - NUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgiff17 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Could have made the transition look like hide of the jag that would haveade more sense and probably would have looked better as long as the logo was completely in one color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewharrington Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 At what point, aesthetically, did we give up the idea of design that worked, and start focusing in on things that gave shock value, pushed the envelope too far, and ultimately, only produce stuff for people to talk about?I feel like sports aesthetics has essentially turned into Jersey Shore / TLC / My Crazy Obsession / Reality TV. It's mind boggling.When did we forget about balance, good design, restraint (ie not just doing something because you can), subtlety, dressing like professionals, trying to design a timeless uniform on the first shot? (fully aware of who my favorite team is and the ridiculous uniforms they wear).You guys are both spot on. Every time something like this comes out, I weep for this industry, and society as a whole. It's disposable, wasteful, cheap, phony, pandering design. People don't even realize they're being made into fools by marketers and creative directors.

People don't even realize they're being made into fools by marketers and creative directors.Paul Lukas echoes many of these sentiments in his review. For those who haven't yet read it:http://espn.go.com/blog/playbook/fandom/post/_/id/21215/uni-watch-analysis-new-jaguars-uniformsI have to admit that he makes a great point about the color gradient on the helmet being "backwards". If the jaguar "hunts from the shadows" then why make the black gradient start in the front??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
