hawk36 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Can't stand the Clippers jersey set these days. A serif name font is placed on their regular home and away jerseys, but a sans-serif modern name font is placed on their alternates and replica jerseys. That is bad. It has also always bugged me that they have a double outline on the Clippers. Blue with red outline (no white in between) would be much cleaner.

tBBP Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 This was brought up when these uniforms were first unveiled back in ('04, was it?)...that whole white thing was supposedly to mimic the white area on the underside of an actual tiger's leg. Half-decent idea in theory, horrible idea in execution. (But then, that pretty much sums up their entire visual identity, now doesn't it?) *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...
swisherHOU Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 vs This helmet template has always bothered me. The bottom and top bars as they come back towards the ear hole are too straight. They should both have a slight bend. It wouldn't be such a big deal if this generic template wasn't used as persistently as it has been since the early 90s by every team in every single league, most notably (and inexplicably) as the Browns primary logo.....which also bothers me but is a big detail not a small one.

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 The numbers on the Giants' away jerseys look too small to me, or too high, or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 The Bears home jerseyThe logo is orange with a white outline, the sleeve stripes are orange with white outlines, then the numbers should be orange with a white outline. The NOB can stay white because orange would probably be hard to read on the blue in that small of font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its better to ask the they can't just get rid of the side panel.There would be much rejoicing if they did, but that wouldn't fix all that's wrong with these uniforms. Speaking of the Bengals, I was just on a Bengals forum and two or three guys agreed that the Bengals orange jersey over black pants is their best look.

This has bugged me for 20 or more years, I would like to see a photograph of an actual helmet with that facemask. (btw I'm just using the Browns to keep it consistent...) Obviously the template is not made by Riddell, but I can't imagine that it's not using the basic Riddell QB facemask used since the late 80s and still used by a few older players like Tom Brady.

jdp Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Since they released the new logo, it's always bothered me how the "Toronto" script doesn't have the white lines in the middle of each letter. Just a small thing, but it really bothers me.Are there any other small details in logos that really bother you?Hadn't noticed that before--not a Blue Jays fan--but it certainly annoys me now.

Xodius Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 While I love the throwback esque Flyers uniforms...I hate the black nameplate on the back of the white road jersey. The white nameplate on the orange jerseys are awesome because they are historically accurate. In this case, not so much. On that note, I don't like the white Captain and Assistant patches on the away:Again, don't care if it's historically accurate, it's dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is, BOTH are historically accurate. The Flyers have used a number if different styles in their history, even white outlined in orange. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

Just a small thing, but it really bothers me.Are there any other small details in logos that really bother you?Hadn't noticed that before--not a Blue Jays fan--but it certainly annoys me now.It doesn't bother me because it emphasizes the team name rather than the city. This is common with logos in other sports as well....the city and nickname may be of the same font, but the nickname will have a more embellished treatment. In many of these cases, the nickname is larger as well (as it should be, for emphasis), and since it's sized bigger, it allows the styled effects without loss of legibility.
