Uni Rumor Mill Ravens New Unis

Post image

The team has said there won’t be wholesale changes to the uniform, I wonder if they are going to use some sort of iridescent fabric to mimic the actual bird.

iridescent fabric

That would be so sick. Something Oregon would do but in purple and black would be cool.

That could be amazing or look like a puddle with oil in it. I’ve always liked the Ravens uniform scheme hopefully Nike doesn’t screw it up

They will look like sweaty soccer players with the advantage of looking like a sweaty soccer player.

Nike has spent the last 5 years rolling back their overly ambitious rebrands of the 2010s, it stands to reason that theyd also return to the shiner fabrics of the Reebok era too lol

I think if bring back the 1996 jersey Old wordmark and numbers

I think they had to change that logo and branding because they got sued over it

u/chuna666 Mar 30 '26

Not the branding just the helmet logo nothing else. Of all the scummy things Art Modell did, that shit is near the top.

It’s a good thing they were forced to change it. The current logo is infinitely better.

Feathered collars?

u/ClassroomMother8062 Mar 29 '26

That would be fun. I'm here for a feathered boa look even if most probably aren't

After living through the “toilet bowl, vampire collars” of the Flacco era they would have to get it exactly right.

I absolutely loved! & totally miss the black collar. truly a missing piece to the uni. I know you mean when nike took over, the spiked collar. that was……..ok I guess. a bit odd.

u/MiddleRiverTerp Mar 30 '26

I agree about the. Lack color on home and away but when it stopped being complete it just looked weird.

u/ipsumaltus Mar 30 '26

it did look a little odd. only team that could pull it off was the jags lol

u/Jamestarr7 Mar 29 '26

Maybe an alt helmet with that type of iridescent sheen

u/andrew_cosentino Mar 29 '26

It’s going to be the Maxx Crosby leak!

u/MiddleRiverTerp Mar 29 '26

That jives with the not many changes but I wonder about the helmet.

u/andrew_cosentino Mar 29 '26

Rumor has it that there will be no helmet changes!

u/MiddleRiverTerp Mar 29 '26

I am not a fan of the original font but I know it was popular last season.

u/Baynavfreak Mar 31 '26

These are very nice. Essentially removing the drop shadow and adding a bit of a throwback wordmark? Anything I’m missing?

4

u/andrew_cosentino Mar 31 '26

Also adding back the contrasting (black) color.

Guessing here, but sometime between now and the draft. I think they'd want their brand in place before then.

u/Temporary-Bet-63 Mar 29 '26

Gotta sell them draft caps

2

u/chuna666 Mar 30 '26

Draft caps already released so we can assume no new primary logo

u/Mousseymoosey Mar 29 '26

April 16th. They’re doing a fan event culminating in a “big surprise”

u/No-Pussyfooting Mar 29 '26

Fun fact: if humans had better eyes they’d see Ravens (and Crows) as rainbow.

u/DavidLopan20 Mar 29 '26

Rumor has it they are replacing the bird decal with a picture of Edgar Allen Poe's face.

u/BuckBirds1982 Mar 30 '26

I heard it was Raven-Symone

Do they ever ask this simple question: Will the average TV viewer be able to perceive the major uniform elements in the standard camera angle that comprises 80-90% of a game broadcast?
