I always thought that it was a man with ram horns (think Tim the Wizard from Monty Python and the Holy Grail) – the tilde shape was the eye, the ram’s eye was a very self-assured, smirky mouth. But the Rams are apparently very proud of the gradient. So that mark should never be utilized that way, it should never be seen that way, and it doesn’t exist in our identity system at all. They seemed to be ducking the question but at first, I don’t think he knew what was being asked! The box contains a true spiral whrere the curve continues to have a decreasing radius at every single point as it moves from the outside corner to the center. It looks like a flat elevation view instead of 3D. I sort of feel like any dissing of it below that level is just everyone always hates new things and we’re looking for nits to pick, but any praise above that level is basically just team boosterism. Good stuff, Paul. One entry per person. Seems like bad planning, if that’s the case. It cannot just be hangin’ out there in the open. • Going back even further for the Phillies, admire the simplicity of this 1942 media guide. “New shirt coming later today as well,” says Ed Zelaski.
Befort: I don’t want to talk about the hat specifically, because that’s an NFL thing. logo: a graphic representation or symbol of a company name, trademark, abbreviation, etc., often uniquely designed for ready recognition.
The unveiling took place via the video shown above, and there’s lots of additional info on this website devoted to the new identity. (Cue Todd Radom for his treatise on just what that logo means.)
Their legs are usually interlocked (thanks to all who shared). Eric Holcomb give an update about his state’s response to the pandemic and spotted what appears to be the layout of a basketball floor on an easel behind him. Perhaps given merchandising being what it is they do not have a goal of creating something that stands for a long time, but rather something they redo every so often to sell more gear. It’s disappointing that we weren’t able to tell our story the way we wanted to, but we still feel really confident and really good about the entire system in its totality. Uni-watchers might find this thread about the Rams’ new logos from Pro Football Talk interesting: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/03/23/rams-new-logo-colors/, Or at least I found the comment section kind of funny, just because nearly everybody appeared to thing that these were among the worst logos ever designed in the history of sports…. “sun bleached cattle skull” image comes to mind when I see the secondary logo. Football News: A huge Twitter thread broke out yesterday that shows the helmets of high school teams from across the country (from Steve Bradley).
Yellow pants, yellow bolts on the helmets, royal jerseys, yellow facemasks. Is that an actual Fibonacci spiral, though? Los Angeles Rams Primary Logo 2020 - Present, Los Angeles Rams Primary Logo 2017 - Present, Los Angeles Rams Primary Logo 1989 - 1994, Los Angeles Rams Primary Logo 1983 - 1988, Los Angeles Rams Primary Logo 1970 - 1982, Los Angeles Rams Primary Logo 1951 - 1969, Los Angeles Rams Primary Logo 1946 - 1950, 4. Colors are great, logo is bad. In St. Louis the Rams logo, changed to a wordmark “ST. • Dig the totally 1970s font on the front of this Bobby Orr puzzle. Old Devil Moon. Cory Befort, Rams Creative Director: We really can’t talk yet about the uniforms. The white ram’s head has more detail with the black outline. Which by Nike-era NFL standards is amazingly good. LA Rams the first team who’s designed beyond 3 dimensions? On one hand, my OCD makes me want to agree, that uniforms have to be uniform. I am guessing that target audience is probably much different and has much different tastes than that of the majority of uni watch or sportslogos.net readers.
Ahh, okay – that makes more sense, thanks for the clarification. amzn_assoc_default_category = "All"; Especially since the horns are invariably
In the are of merch, the goal isn’t making something really good, but making something really trending that will sell, and then rebrand when a new trend comes along. I was worried they would be navy blue and yellow from some earlier rumours. Did they stop to wonder why nobody else uses a gradient? I guess that they don’t count since they will only get worn once a year. … The Amarillo Sod Poodles, the Padres’ Double-A affiliate, will wear gold-accented caps every Monday in honor of their 2019 Texas League championship (from Ignacio).
As you can see above, they’ve basically taken their throwback colors and made them pop a bit more. I am a little optimistic after seeing the video the Chargers released today that they are going more traditional (albeit with powder and not royal) It harkened back to past Powder Blue sets and seemed to hint at helmet numbers and gold pants.
You say that as if it’s a bad thing, Paul…. • The New York Daily News printed up this Keith Hernandez poster sometime in the 1980s. Kudos to Paul for asking the tough question about the logo. I asked which contexts this logo — and all of the logos — would likely be appearing in but was told I’d have to wait and see. There was a big wordmark “Rams,” small “LOS ANGELES” in white and a charging ram’s head below. So a direct translation for the English “media guide” is “guide media” (geed mehdiah). The color is the only thing that was changed in the Los Angeles Rams logo: the letter became white with a dark blue outline. Along with the return, the team introduced a new logo. Do not screw this up. The tag says “In the Paint, For the Player On and Off the Court.”.
The team retained the ram symbol, but now its head is turned to the left. It’s terrible.
The logo of a rams head is strong and sleek looking logo. I still can’t unsee it. I’ve always loved the “Get Out More” segments, but really enjoying Get In More. • So does that mean that the Rams’ new helmet will feature this new segmented horn? I don’t mind that helmet mockup as long as they hook the tail end of the horn up around the helmet ear hole. Don’t forget that the Patriots didn’t have the center blue stripe on the helmets until 1964 – so 1961-63 had only the 2 red stripes and the Pat Patriot logo (1960 had only the 2 red stripes but the blue tricorner hat and red player numbers.
That Wilco shirt was first sold at their Toronto show last October which featured this poster https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2513/6954/products/WILP547_720x.jpg?v=1570647650 with the Raptors jersey on it. Second, and this is the important part, the cross-section is almost triangular, with the “corners” of the triangle spiralling a bit as it goes along the horn.
– but nobody, not even those who currently run the Negro Leagues Museum, are aware of why it was chosen. The letters “LA” in the new logo has a blue color when used on a white background, but the letter “A” noticeably shifts from blue to various shades of yellow, since it imitates the curvature of real ram’s horns. The Ram’s logo went through very minor changes, by eliminating the yellow horns. “Sunset (the darker orange) should not be used as a base layer, logo background or in isolation”. People would complain about Green Bay’s G as being too simple, “my 6-year old could have done that.” They would wonder why there’s no B for the Bay in Green Bay.

So many logos we see as iconic wouldn’t pass the same tests people seem to have for teams today. Your last complete overhaul managed to do “modern” right (mostly). The shape of the horn on the LA logo doesn’t match the shape of the horn on the ram head logo. Reader Daniel O’Hara’s mom was cleaning out some boxes and came across this button from Seton Hall’s 1989 Final Four run (and while not hoops-related, she also found this 1984 Olympics patch). That would be my guess for the uni tweak, although it doesn’t address the logo tweak. Why not unveil all of it at once? Just have a good logo and stop worrying about being “able to tell our story.” Ugh. Well chosen, nicely balanced with each other.
The logos also use the primary team’s colors – blue (in various shades), gold yellow, and white. It’s fine.
And if the forecast calls for the rain to stop in 90 mins, they’ll wait.
To enter, send an email with your mailing address to the raffle address by 8pm Eastern tonight. In any case, it looks like I’ll have plenty to write about in the weeks to come, despite the sports world’s shutdown.
Maybe the Patriots are just simply removing the silver and modifying uniform elements?
• There are additional versions of the logo, as well as additional info about the various shades of orange and grey, on this logo slick, which was tweeted yesterday by @MakersofSport: • The intriguing design reference I mentioned earlier is the Fibonacci spiral, also known as the golden spiral, or the golden ratio (which once came up here on Uni Watch as a way of deconstructing the most famous photo of “The Catch”). I’m in the minority but I like the Fibonacci logo and I really like the concept helmet with the new horns. Incidentally, one good reason to refer to the new shade of yellow as, um, “yellow” is that it is literally almost pure yellow, at least on the CMYK scale. They *were* the Los Angeles Rams from 1946-1994. (Which is fine! I’m happy the Rams are going back to royal blue and yellow.
**New** 2020 NBA Playoff Teams Logo Battle. The transition to the crescent moon softens it a bit, but it is still there. I’ve been unable to confirm those rumors, but they now appear to be true.
— Paul. Completely agree with Paul that the LA logo looks much better in the context of the full LA RAMS wordmark. The logo for four seasons remained the same.
