I don't think we are allowed to use that old logo. Im pretty sure there was a lawsuit over it.

article said he just wanted a letter of recognition and an autographed helmet. if thats true then why is this guy so concerned with money? i dont get it..... wouldnt you be more happy having your drawing represent your team. Its a freaking doodle and this guy is still suing our pants off over it. when does his copyright run out is what im wondering

[TDubbs]

The only thing I think they will change is our numbers and letters potentially, maybe to more of a conventional type. I would welcome that change, I do find our numbers to be a bit odd, but I do like them for that unique quality.

Can't even make a joke without a truckload of negatives. [img]http://content.boards.baltimoreravens.com//public/style_emoticons/default/eyes.gif[/img] Okay, I'll make a concession. How about if only the cheerleaders wear pink?

I never understand how breast cancer awareness gets people so riled up. The players [i]elect[/i] to wear the pink alternate gear, and it's for a good cause.

I hope Nike makes minimal changes. I like our uniforms the way they are and I don't want some outside company trying to put their "stamp" on it. Of course, any changes will have to be sanctioned by the Ravens so we'll see...

I don't want to buy a new jersey. I can't wait until someone starts a new thread about the cheerleaders.

Looking forward to what they have

I fancy a new Pitta jersey [img]http://content.boards.baltimoreravens.com//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/img]

On another note, what's with the Ravens store? Other teams are having firesales and trying to shift everything
Ravens are still looking for full price for current players and over fifty dollars for Gregg and McGahee. Even Rolle jerseys

They may still have that stock for years more
Come on, slash the prices

They are saving the money for Flacco's extension.

I don't know why our uniforms sometimes appear blue on TV. I'd love it if we could go to a deeper purple color.

It's the way the camera processes it and I think they haven't mastered it in color correction before sending out the sig.

[TheRavenouseD2008]

honestly I think we need to use that dye they use in some car paints , where it is purple in one area of light but black in shade

[bpytnjr58]

Probably just a lighter weight material...i believe the league has to approve logo and color changes..i like them the way they are now but then again Nike wants us to buy "their" product so they may do something a little different.

Im right here buddy, [img]http://content.boards.baltimoreravens.com//public/style_emoticons/default/wink.png[/img] , Really, REally, Really hope we get some Hot Pink in it.

[PeRK82]

Of course im going to say More Black, but i also think if we have mostly black for the uniforms. I really think we should have Purple Helmets.

Nah, i think its because our Colors on the seats are Grapple lol, more of a blueish purple. The Uniforms are a little more purplish but they still have a little blue in it.

I know a long time ago there was a thread about the "leaked" unis that lead to being confirmed to be false, and we've had plenty of uniform change discussions over time, but with the official date set to be on April 3rd, my question is, What Changes, if any, do you predict you will see when the uniforms are released? I'm very excited because I'm a big Nike fan over Reebok and I think that with the right creativity, yet simplicity, these new looks could be very sharp.

My Predictions:

1. More Black Will be incorporated in the Jersey: I'm really hoping this is one of the changes that benefits the look of the jersey. Some people aren't a fan of the Oregon style "wings" on the shoulders, but personally I think black shoulders with purple wings would be sweet.

2. More "Traditional" Number Style: This is what I'm lobbying for most. I have never been a fan of how numbers look on a Ravens jersey. I'm one that likes the Varsity Style font that teams like the Patriots, Panthers, Seahawks etc.. currently use. It gives a much cleaner, sharper appearance.

3. Helmet: Honestly, I don't see any changes coming to the helmet. I like the black helmet and I don't see anything that would improve the way it looks as it is. I can't think of a facemask color that would look good but that is why they pay the Nike Designers money to do what they do best.

Pants: Would love to have a primary black pants with purple stripe. I've always like the Ravens wearing the purple on black almost as much as we all love the Black on Black. White would be the best choice for away games.

Overall, I don't think there will be mind boggling change to the current unis that the team sports, but, I could see an opportunity for a few nice tweaks that will have our team in purple and black looking sharp on Sundays.

I'm excited to see what Nike has cooked up. I was one of the few who liked most of the mock-ups that were leaked a few years back, whether they were from somewhere in the Nike pipeline or not.

As for the numbers... I think that's one of the nice unique features of the Ravens current uniforms. They're still legible, but don't look like they came off the assembly line as the "stock font" of pretty much every single team's jersey in every single sport, on every single level.

Perhaps one of the uniforms, maybe the alternate, uses the front-facing Raven head logo.

Only 2 more weeks and we'll see for ourselves. I'm excited to see every team's new look, not just the Ravens.

And for the sake of ALL who watch the NFL... I sure hope they can do something about those Dolphins. The Aqua and Orange is just... UGH!

These ain't happening?

[theblackdog]

This is why I bought one of the fire-saled Lewis jerseys now, in case Nike manages to royally screw up the redesign.

I really hope that Nike does not mess with our helmet colors and with the look of our numbers. I like that our numbers are unique and the "varsity" style that many other teams use just don't work on our color scheme.

[POE]

Players contracts and signings get leaked before the teams even release a statement. Someone needs to leak these new uni's just the same. I want to know what they look like in case I need to stock up on the current Reebok ones while they are on sale.

[cobrajet]

I am not a fan when panels of different colors are sewed into the sides of jerseys with accent piping, like the Arizona Cardinals. I hope they keep it all one color. I like the old school look of NFL jerseys and I like our purple jersey.

[Griffinator21]

If anything changes I'd like to see a stripe added to the black pants like the one on the white pants. That would make the black on black combo look a lot better.

A purple stripe would look awesome with the purple on black...but the blackout look needs to stay blacked out, so does the white + black.

Should add another pair of pants. Black, White, and Black + stripe.

Well It's April 3rd, new jerseys are supposed to be revealed at 11am. Anyone excited about what the jerseys will look like?

[Romo Ravens]

Will the players wear the new jerseys in 2012?

Awesome. Thank you

I am very excited about this. Like a kid at christmas lol

[Cville-Raven]

I like Nikes matte black pants, I think it will make our other sets looks better. A matte black helmet wouldn't be a bad idea either.
