New NFL logo question

I agree with the logo designer. They should flush LA down the toilet.
Also they might get a couple sell outs if they share the fan base.

Funny how the Rams and Chargers are both moving off navy/dark blue and onto royal blue and powder blue, respectively, at the same time over this.
Not that I am complaining -- not sure about the logos and uniforms, but the color choices are definitely improvements to go back to their classic ones.

The mismatched silver helmet and "mint" pants drives me nuts.
The navy star on the helmet is different than the royal blue throughout, too.
They need to pick a single silver and a single blue shade already.
If they did that, they would be great... but there are just these stupid problems.

Yeah I'm not sure when they went away from the true gray pants and brightened the numeral colors (didn't happen at the same time, I don't think).
Falcons haven't changed their unis in 18 years. Not sure what's "constantly changing" about that. Although they badly need to.

Although lighting in a photo can have some effect, this look from the '70s matches the elements much better.
Yeah, I wish they would go back to a consistent gray/silver (and not the "mint" silver with some green of the current pants) and royal blue and drop the navy.
Something like this --
I know designers and have worked closely with designers for 20ish years and from my experience working with them logo design is one of the biggest headf**** there is. People are always going to be pissed, and they take it very personally.
I actually don't think the Rams ones are that bad. The worst logos are the overdesigned, overly complicated things that have details you need a magnifying glass to make out.
Either way, it's a total lose/lose endeavor.

If New England or Tampa Bay change unis - I suggest the true classics (the ones that were in style when I was in HS):

Cowboy fan here, there is actually a reason for the different shades on the uniforms. It was for black and white TVs. They worked with a designer to find colors that appeared more silver instead of gray on old black and white television. The different materials required different colors to achieve that. Now its tradition to have the different colors.
Yeah, I am familiar with the original reason for it.
I would ask back then --
If you like the mint green pants as a tradition, why not embrace it fully and match the helmet to them? Why not lean into it? I could appreciate the team riding with that color for its uniqueness and that bit of trivia about their history instead of the gray/silver that numerous other teams (e.g., Patriots, Raiders, Giants) have in their looks.
The "looks better on TV" argument is long since obsolete. Modern screens can represent essentially any color perfectly nowadays. When it was a poor design decision for an obsolete reason, it is time to move away from it. I really do not care if they pick navy/royal blue or gray-silver or mint-silver, just that they pick one set and stick with it.
Pains me as a NY football Giants fan to say, but I like the story behind it and that they've stuck with it out of tradition. I'd be willing to bet that back then they probably didn't have the option of helmets with that color variation. Could be wrong.
No doubt. Imagine the uproar that would come from Cowboys fans if they changed it up now. I'm guessing they'd get killed.
Again, I respect the tradition, but the one on the right looks so much better.
I agree it looks better. Would be curious to see how Cowboys fans polled.
