    If we were a new franchise, expansion, and they gave the fans these 2 to pick, I think the new one would be the overwhelmming winner.

    This is true. The smaller this logo is, the worse it looks; but overall, I love the change.

    He would have to be an idiot if he didn't think this was going to happen.

    I agree that it doesn't fit a ball cap as well, but I think it fills the space on a helmet better than the current logo and far better than the old logo.

    LOFL.

    Did Armando erect a strawman in his own article and then obliterate it?

    Who the hell writes like this?

    I knew what you meant and thank you, but I try to never compare myself to others in such matters. Everybody has their own standards for how they want to be.

    He should be pushed off for not launching it around about the time the Jags did, no excuse to leave it so close to the draft and so far into the league year. The big lead up to it just made it more and more likely that it would be leaked.

    Yeah, all that stupid national publicity that has been generated over our team the past few months with the logo is real sign Dee is stupid. We should have been more like the Jags when they got no exposure at all.

    I agree wholeheartedly. He brought this upon himself and as Berezo mentioned, is a complete idiot if he didn't think this would happen.

    He could have done what the jags was and to maintain our curiosity and enthusiasm, keep the uniform reveal for the Draft. That would have been ideal and makes the most sense.

    You really think he wanted the logo to be leaked so that his big unveiling goes down like a lead balloon? Building suspense and publicity is one thing, but waiting too long is another, and they've done that.

    I would be interested to see if there will be a secondary logo for Ball Caps.

    That one could be nice if they go with a simple M in a sunburst.

    Yes, I do.

    Notice the uniforms haven't been leaked yet. Basically, what we have is the exact same thing as the Jags but with tons of national media exposure.

    Many people do not understand the marketing game....Dee is Peyton Manning.

    In fact, Dee is so good at marketing and manipulation that he could be dropped into Game of Thrones and not only survive, but thrive.

    It would not be shocked if this latest article were a direct result of a certain somebody having read Crazy's post on here and putting it down as a source within the organization.

    I posted another piece of information but then realized that so few people know it that my buddy would be directly linked, so I took it out. Thats why I wrote "ignore this", sorry if you thought it was about you :) No worries.

    You're also right. Armando contacted me on another board (95% sure) to see if I would send him any picture proof. So, there's that. Then again, even the other site's owner did that...

    Crazy now has a lot of credibility on the forums

    A lot of posters will take shots, but that comes with the territory

    Crazy feel free to share any other info with the staff here

    Well, I'm sorry you feel that way. I wish you could understand the perspective (even if you didnt agree with it) that people are coming from with that opinion. I personally am one who feels the tail flip does give it a Shamu-like effect. I tired to put it into words as best as I could to you earlier in the thread to try to at least convey the position, whether you agreed with it or not. But you still had a hard time wrapping your mind around it.

    HOWEVER... I will say that simply rotating the logo slightly like below helps tremendously IMO. I just saw it in this orientation for the first time... and it is a huge improvement. It reduces the "up flip" of the tail this way (where as, when orientated completely horizontal, the tail is flipped higher than the body), and instead of making it look like the dolphin is just slowly gracefully coasting through the ocean... it instead makes it look a little more like it is building up steam to take off...

    That rotation makes the tail look smaller also. Which before it seemed out of proportion.

    Which to be honest....kinda fits with my theory of a secondary logo that will be used in places where this does not work. I very much agree with you...on the face of a hat....I dont think this logo works at all...but..being that the hat market is so large...and the new deal with 49 and new era...I think they are cognicent of that
