New Nfl Logo

[UNTflyer]

Old on top, new on bottom.

•The new shield features eight stars (representing the eight AFC and NFC divisions) vs. 25 on the current logo. Why 25? It's a mystery. After researching the shield's origins, the designers could find no reason for 25 stars, says Jaime Weston, director of brand and creative operations. The shield logo was first used around 1940, two decades after the NFL's founding in 1920.

• The football at the center has been redesigned to resemble the ball atop the Vince Lombardi championship trophy, says Baird. It replaces the old-fashioned pigskin nicknamed the "Hamburger" inside league offices.

•NFL vendors will probably thank the league for switching to fewer stars. Some vendors, without permission, have used fewer stars rather than shoehorning 25 tiny stars into smaller shields on hats and T-shirts.

Saw this a while back. I think it looks a lot cleaner now. The letters still (kinda) follow the shape of the shield and it still has the same feel to it, so it's not as drastic as the NHL shield change.

I don't like it. I'm not sure, maybe its the new L. I just don't like it. Plus I'll have to buy all new Cowboys jerseys and hats so nobody will see me wearing the old shield...... it must be a merchandising move.
