wdm1219inpenna Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I wonder why the Jaguars didn't do something similar to what the Bengals did. Just a jaguar spotted helmet.I love the new logo, but absolutely hate these new helmets. I wish they'd use teal instead of black for their jerseys too. Everyone is black black black anymore....Jags are boring enough being such a pitiful team, must their uniforms be pitiful too?Again I love the new logo, the spots on the Jaguar head no longer resemble elbow macaroni.

mjd77 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I was reserving judgement until I saw then in action on tv. I finally did this weekend, and yes, they are absolutely awful. If they insist on using gradient, a black to teal might have worked a lot better, and having it match the uniform colors would help too. That gold isn't even close to what's on the uniform.

Do most people even know what the Bengals logo is? Is it the striped B? Is it the orange tiger head? Is it the full-body tiger? I think the spotted helmet could have been a good look, but it certainly helps with brand recognition if your most identifiable mark is the one on the helmet.Maybe putting it on the sleeves would help, but look at the Rams. I don't think that most average people (i.e. not us, not fans of the team, just your average schlub in Nebraska) know what their logo is. Their helmet essentially is their logo. Which can be fine, and may have been fine in the Jags case, but that's just not what they're trying to do.

jakemon08 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Already discussed this when they debuted this months ago. Good idea, bad executionWhat makes you think it was a good idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buster Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Watched them in their last game...terrible.I'd prefer the gold over matte black if they choose to fix this mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phutmasterflex Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Already discussed this when they debuted this months ago. Good idea, bad executionWhat makes you think it was a good idea?A gradient like that can work if executed right. I would prefer they kept their old helmet shell but this one had potential if done right Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beluga4 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I think they should just make the helmet all gold it would be a new twist and a lot better than the one they have now (comcept by rcb05) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it supposed to change colors or something?Different finishes might change the way rain beads up. I've seen matte helmets in rain where the water rolls right off. Since the helmet is two different finishes, just wanted to show that there wouldn't be a difference Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolvikings Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 The helmet isn't going any where. We might as well get used to it. It is not as bad as I thought it was at first.I agree with half of that. This helmet will be around for at the very least this year, and I'd honestly be surprised if it wasn't longer. I know some have mentioned these getting dumped as a special case, like the 9ers one day helmets, but I don't think so. They knew what it looked like before we did, and I'm sure they anticipated the reaction they got.However, as to your second point... for me, the ugliness is not wearing off. Still ghastly. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
