Can't remember if that is how they usually do it, but if it's not and this is how it will be, i honestly don't hate it. Oh god. WHY DON'T YOU COLOR IN THAT SPACE?? THIS TREND HAS SPREAD TO THE SUPER BOWL??? (in case you can't tell, I really hate end zones that aren't fully colored) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just say we could not be further from agreement. I love the saloon wordmark and the 49ers should never have retired it in the 00s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold saloon font would've been better imo OR, gold endzone to also contrast with the red of the logo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc... Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Again, that's just the artificial turf field. That's not the grass field they'll be playing on. The leave the gap so the paint doesn't stain the white sewn in border. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just the one being used for Media Day Monday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamosLynn Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I don't necessarily hate the 49ers wordmark being red but gold would've been better. The spacing is pretty decent but with a shorter wordmark it does look off-kilter. The positive i find in this, is that it does set it apart from SB LIV. Super Bowl logos look great and overall I think this is a solid looking field. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why we (Chiefs) can't have red endzones for the Super Bowl, we don't really use yellow as a primary color at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never understood that either. I know it's your accent color in uniforms, but it's no where in your current logo and that yellow specifically isn't terribly flattering as a field color either (much less a full end zone color). But for the sake of offsetting the niners end zone like it was for LIV, it feels like they've just kinda...stuck with it. I thought the red end zone would've played well with the Eagles last year, to really bookend the field with the SBLVII logo design colors between. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes me wish they were using the raiders block yard numbers for the game instead of the standard schoolbook font. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. It gave the Super Bowl LII field a special flair when they used the Vikings' yard number font, even if the rest of the field was completely dull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler I think the reason why the chiefs have yellow endzones is due to having yellow in super bowls I and IV. They may have just stuck with it since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManillaToad Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 15 hours ago, maxwasson said: Not sure why we (Chiefs) can't have red endzones for the Super Bowl, we don't really use yellow as a primary color at all. They did yellow endzones in the 2019 playoffs to throw back to the 1960s team, which went with the celebrations of the league's history since it was the NFL's 100th year, 60 since the AFL was founded, and 50 years since they won SBIV. KC's ownership is rather tradition-minded so I assume they've kept it going because it's a connection to their successful AFL years (also they keep winning with yellow endzones) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
