Alternate logo???

[StoneCold]

Seeing it on the cap is better, but would prefer if along the sides they had extended the back part of the current logo, so you would have the face coming together in the front and what would look like wings along the side.

I guess I am in the minority but I like it

No.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

It's a logo, has zero to do with the performance on the field. Don't have to buy anything w/that logo in it.

 

[CodeWarrior]

Terrible logo.

 

[UK_Seahawk]

It has a very fat face

Is Lacy wearing it?

I'm not opposed to it because it hews relatively close — stylized as it is — to its Tlingit/Haida/Chilkat/etc. origins.

Granted, like the Eagle, Thunderbird, and Raven depictions in native PNW art, the Osprey is typically shown in profile, whereas human/spirit faces are typically in portrait. Even so, it maintains the "distorted" two-halves-as-one distinction of traditional portraiture (cf. below).

I'm much more a fan of the original logo because although its colorway is not traditional, its form generally is. The cartoony osprey was and will always be a step down from that. I digress.

its like when we launched our new uniforms. Everyone bitched about them, but they sold like crazy. This will be the same.

The new "logo" should have gone through a focus group first. Personally it is too early to switch to a new logo. The current logo is too cool to change for now. They should seriously reconsider that "eaglehead" logo.

they're not switching logos, its an alternate.

My first reaction when I saw it last week was that I didn't like it but it is already growing on me and I think it looks pretty good on the t-shirts and hats. I believe the apparel with the logo will be for sale some time Friday.

how did you see it last week?

I work at Fanatics.com (which also powers proshop.seahawks.com and nflshop.com). I get to see all the stuff early

Are we allowed to have an opinion on it?

 

[DJrmb]

To me it looks like something I might buy for my kid or for a child (looks cartoonish), but never on anything I would wear... Maybe that's their angle, something specifically aimed for children?

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Of course, just being a smart a** :irishdrinkers:

I try to remain positive on these boards but that is a bad idea, and bad design.

If something's not broken, don't fix it.

By the end of the season, this merch is going to be dirt cheap.

 

[Foghawk]

Might make a cool shift knob. That's about it for me.

 

[652cHAWK]

Terrible!

Doesn't look like a mean/angry-hawk. Looks like somewhat annoyed-hawk. I don't really like it, but I think it does look ok on that hat.

But anyway... merchandising!!!
