So, you dont hear people complaining about the Philadelphia Phillies, its the same with the Houston Texans. And a professional team in Houston was already called "Apollos" a hockey team.
From my vantage, you just put your foot in your mouth and undermined your own thinking. The Colts uniforms are pretty identical to the ones they wore in the fifties. Only the Packers and Raiders have probably been as consistent.
That team became the Kansas City Chiefs; someone posted them in their throwback uniforms with the Texas logo on the helmet.
the pinstrip rockets uni's and the texans uniforms are no where in the same ballpark. The Texans have a simple and safe scheme, where as the Rockets got carried away and the result was a disaster. I don't understand your attempt at an analogy using the Colts. I'm willing to bet that the texans won't ever completely change their logo, only tweaks. You don't see any of the legacy franchises changing logos....
Yeah. Looks like the logo is here to stay. Unfortunately I think the worst logos in the league are the "busiest"... aka lots of detail, colors, and not symmetrical. Examples of good logos: Others would be GB, KC, OAK, NO, etc.
The Browns uniforms look like someone ate a UT and A&M jersey and got the squirts. And that's a shame, cause both have pretty cool unis.
You realized two of you examples aren't symmetrical, don't you? This whole "logo should by symmetrical" thing is just stupid. I agree with your examples of good logos -- especially Pitt and Chicago. And I agree with you that busy is *not* better, and less is more. I also really like our logo.
Yeah, msn, I'm not saying those are hard and fast rules, just guidelines. The steelers logo has multiple colors too, but it is overall simple, balanced, and classic. The Raiders logo is pretty detailed/intricate, but it is also balanced and very clean looking. Look across the NFL. The worst logos I feel are teams like the Jags, Bills, Lions, Bucs... just too much going on there.
.... Apollo is the Greek god of light and of the sun (and several other things). He was one of the major Olympian deities. Understand the space reference now? If not, there is also the Apollo Space Program of 1963-1972, named so in large part due to the Olympian Apollo mentioned above. Make sense? And I like the Texans unis, logo, and name, but if given the opportunity to become the Oilers once again, I'd be all over it.
Allegedly, Bud Adams offered McNair the rights to the Oilers name in exchange for 10 million dollars. McNair said no thanks because he thought it was time for something new
Look at the uniforms carefully, there are a few minor tweaks to the jerseys, and pants. I'm not really sure if this was a legit consideration of a color combo/uniform design or not. I just found them one day while searching for a Texans jersey.
Actually, I just realized, they almost all are. Colts. - Sym Bears - Horz. Sym Cowboys - Sym Pitt - Sym (as a whole circle)
well in the steelers helmet only one side has the logo on it. and I thought by symmetrical the logo has to be in both sides
Look more closely at that Chicago 'C' - it's *not* symmetrical. I recognized the shape symmetry in Pittsburgh, but the color counts. I think it's the simplicity and "cleanness" of the logo, not the mythical requirement of "symmetry", that makes it nice. There are *many* logos, not just for NFL teams, that are great but not symmetrical. It simply isn't necessary.
This guy like the Texans uni's http://bleacherreport.com/articles/268384-top-10-coolest-looking-nfl-uniforms-and-5-bad-ones#page/15 so does this one http://needsofthemany.blogspot.com/2008/02/10-worst-nfl-uniforms-5-best.html and this http://www.logodesign.com/logo_design/2006/10/19/top-10-nfl-logo-designs/
LMAO. Yes, it isn't 100% symmetrical. But can you tell that at first glance? I seriously doubt it. You're being far too anal (or arguing for the sake of arguing at this point, which people here love to do)... if you have to look THIS hard at it, then you're kinda proving my point... It's about 99% symmetrical... its very balanced and clean... which is the point.
