bobblehead Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 (edited) It’s blah blah “all about motion” “flow” marketing yada yada whatever. Like I need a thumbtack to look like it’s flowing with so much motion that it’s on fire. If if I need to see flow how about they run faster. Just a thought .

That style of design is more appropriate for corporate letterhead logo work and that type of thing. It seems out of place and wrong for a sports team logo. The current Patriots helmet logo is among the absolute worst in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I nuts for noticing this or just an old fart not wanting to embrace modern design....? I agree with this. a good sports logo and branding is able to convey that you are strong, confident, a sense of tradition, it's iconic...something familiar to a community as times change... The Patriots HAD that look with their old logo. I don't tend to like logos that include a piece of sports equipments such as a ball, helmet, etc...but the old logo with the patriot ready to snap the football was classic, and met the criteria I set above. the current logo looks like the letterhead for a large life insurance company that formed after they merged two or three times with others. They've won a bunch in this look so it won't change..and will probalby become "classic" and "iconic" because of the winning tradition. The Broncos is another example. I hate those guys, but the D with the horse head in it was a really strong look....that thing on their helmet now screams "western city public transit authority". Jacksonville should have just stuck with their original uniforms....good clean look..they were a winner right away in those....no reason to have changed, but they did. I prefer a clean crisp, classic, look, like the Colts...or Steelers (hate them too, but nice uniforms.) Might I even venture to say that KC has decent, iconic classic look that hasn't changed and isn't made to look like a swoosh etc. I've always thought that it was arena league like to "swoosh": your logo....and another offense that comes off as minor league...having your font for the team name start with a Capital letter, have lowercase in between an uppercase, large final letter. .....are we advertising a tractor pull? (I'm talking to you EagleS, bring back the old eagle font and kelly green!) FWIW, I like the old standing Buffalo logo better than the current one.

But the city is pleased with the logo as of now. Actually Jaguars fans believe they have one of the finer logos in the NFL.

You'd think they would let them use the full jag-you-wire......or jag-wire.....free advertising. It would have been funny if the case was lost to use the full jag and there wasn't enough time to change it before a game.....black tape covering Logos everywhere!
