I'm not jealous of the attention he's getting, I just find his work uninspiring. I was also just commenting on the current trend that seems to pop up. It was re-doing logos for a couple years there but lately we've been getting these re-done helmets instead (These, the ones from two days ago, and the Star Wars ones from a few months ago that were actually really good)

Maybe it started before the Bucs new helmet but that's where I first saw it and it looks good there.

Somebody (maybe Darth Brooks), mentioned that once a team takes Navy's helmet style, they win all helmets. Well, that dude sort of put it on the Patriots. Imagine that helmet with the red jerseys and white pants.

I do think this dude did a better job blowing up the logos than the other guy did. He didn't just double the size and slap it on, he brought the huge size to it's logical conclusion so a lot of the animal ones are just eyes and such and the shapes and lines from the logos create natural lines on the helmet that work way better. It brings the logo to such a size that they become more abstract shapes on the helmet instead of just obscenely huge logos, and at that size abstract shapes work a little nicer.

The Seahawks helmet is a good example of doing it right. The eye takes up where the whole logo used to be, and the lines of the beak isolate the top blue section and the bottom white section. I think it works pretty well here. The Panthers, Cards and Bengals helmets also work. The Jags helmet im not sold on, but it's more interesting than their current abomination.

This guy's issue, as opposed to the other guy, is that he is playing around with textures to an unnecessary degree. Why does the Rams helmet have a texture with weird diagonal lines? The new york skyline helmet is an interesting idea but the logo itself is kind of tucked down and to the side for some reason. The Matte black on the Ravens looks bad, but that might actually look okay in real life. The Dolphins helmet would actually look really nice if the water on the bottom wasn't there. The colors on the chargers helmet are really nice, but the lighting makes it look goofy.

These are better than the other guy. Only a few bad clunkers. The Green Bay cheese helmet is just gross, and the Bears Helmet with the C in front is just strange (He didn't even center it properly). The Vikings Helmet is an interesting concept, it just didn't work out and it looks really goofy. I have no idea what the hell is going on with the texture on the Bucs helmet. I see what he was trying to do with the Falcons helmet, but he probably should have re-designed the wings first.

The Jets one just makes me laugh. Same with the Titans, the Titans helmet would look cooler if he removed the T part and just had the flames coming off of the sides, probably a little bigger.

That's true, I did the Green Bay uniform with the cheese hole pants, and it's just as stupid as this cheese hole helmet, looking back on it. At least I meant it to be terrible, I still can't be sure how seriously this designer meant to take these things. None of them feel like obvious jokes.

I think this guy forgets that the helmets should be visible from Row ZZZZ in the stadium. All the intricate patterns and designs will be lost to anyone not holding the helmet in their hands or watching a closeup on TV at home.

teams stopped giving a gently caress about what you can see from your seats a long time ago. a few might have good sightlines and poo poo but the future is gigantic jerryworld sized monitors in the stadiums themselves so you can see what's happening. all of it is designed for TV and internet media these days and everything else is secondary.

I've seen games go perfect for 12 innings all for naught. I've seen no-hitters pitched on illicit drugs. Homer streaks lasting eight games and 20 run losses. I've seen pennants won and seasons collapse. All these memories will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.

Time to die.
NCAA just passed a rule banning crop top jerseys

quote:

Officials will treat illegal equipment issues – such as jerseys tucked under the shoulder pads or exposed back pads – by making the player leave the field for at least one play. The equipment must be corrected for the player to return to the game. The player may remain in the game if his team takes a timeout to correct the equipment issue.

They're saying that if they shoulder pad is exposed, not if you have the jersey over the pad then tuck excess under.

That happens like every 3 plays to someone and is quickly remedied by a nearby teammate or a coach. Why was this brought up as a problem?

It's not the accidental stuff. Or maybe it is. Who gives a gently caress, it's the NCAA and nothing they do makes sense.

Only question I
ever thought was hard
was do I like Kirk
or do I like Picard?
Donte Whitner's tweet about 9 different color combinations or whatever is kind of scary and kind of encouraging in my mind. It means at least one or two will probably be the classic Browns combinations. Someone with a better understanding of math could probably say what the different variables are if we assume there are 4 pieces we're working with here.

Helmet 1
Jersey 1, 2, 3?
Pants 1, 2, 3?
Socks (maybe?) 1, 2, 3?, 4?

How many of each of those adds up to nine different combinations? I think

Helmet 1
Jersey 1, 2
Pants 1, 2, 3
Socks 1, 2, 3

adds up to more than nine.

Unless I'm mistaken, Seattle has 9 combinations (excluding different socks) with their blue, white, and grey jerseys.

Browns might do the same? With an orange alternate.

Colts did something like that too.

quote:

The new base uniform color is white. In that same color are accents that in the past have been rendered in Colts blue: both the stripes on the jersey and pants, numbers, etc. Though the colors are the same the shadows of the stitched elements add a subtle depth to the uniform. This strategy allows the individual to fade into the background and the unit as a whole to be seen.

The Browns' problems:
A criminal owner
Their idiot GM has been suspended
Their coach has a shorter life expectancy than some insects
They're in the most consistently brutal division since expansion
their QB is in rehab
Their WR is suspended until judgement day
Pitied by literally everyone
Stuck in a purgatory of shittyness without ever attaining a #1 pick

The Browns strengths:
Fans who will literally take anything
The best uniforms in football




One of these is rectified in thirty minutes.
