Hawks New Colors?

[DJlaysitup]

Wretch....you are right....

[bigfella]

I used to love the pac-man logo, but after seeing it last year on the retro games I remember why they got rid of it. Seems pretty stale to me. Wouldn't want to see it all year long. Maybe they need some fresh logos and fresh colors.

I like our current logo and the new one thats at the bottom of the page of this website.

I like that last one - we need a Logo that doesn't look like a Hawks logo...that way I can wear my Hawks hat on the golf course without being laughed at

I say that because it seems as if every time a team does a drastic change in their color scheme, the team usually gets better.

Now I know that there are a lot of other factors that play a part in this, but a uniform or logo change usually represents a sort of "new birth" for the team.

NFL

- Tampa Bay Bucs ( completely changed the color and logo from the orange buccaneer, to the pewter and red Buck flag. Not that I'm against orange, but only us at Tennessee look good in orange . . lol )

- Tennessee Titans ( changed name and logo, and went from predomantely powder blue to predominately dark blue, with a touch of light blue and sometimes red )

- Atlanta Falcons ( loved it when they went to black during the Jerry Glanville/Deion Sanders days )

NBA

- Cleveland Cavaliers ( constantly changed . . from the orange of the 80s, to the blue of the 90s, to the current maroon, gold, and white as soon as they signed LeBron )

- Denver Nuggets ( went from that rainbow skyline of the 70s and 80s to the navy blue and gold in the 90s )

- Utah Jazz ( went from the purple and gold, to the light and dark blue, with a touch of purple. It paid off for them as soon as they changed )

- Dallas Mavericks ( ditched the predomantely green unis, to go with predomantely blue )

- Philadelphia 76ers ( went from red and white, to black and white, with a touch of red and gold. A good look for Iverson and the boys )

MLB

- Atlanta Braves ( from the powder blue to the red, white, and blue . . . it worked for them as soon as they changed )

- Arizona Diamondbacks ( this year, went from the purple, white, and black to the red and black . . they're currently 36 - 26 with the 3rd best record in the National League )

- San Diego Padres ( went from that god awful brown of the 70s and 80s, to blue )

- Chicago White Sox ( went from the red, white, and blue to black and white . . a very good look for them when it first came out in the 90s )

Just food for thought. If changing the uniforms might assist us in breaking this 8 year drought, then bring on the change.

let's be careful on just HOW light blue we go. I do not by any means want to look like the Denver Nuggets and their IT'S A BOY! colored uniform.

Nice one!

Well a lot of this desire for change is driven by marketing, IE once you make a change you can (conceivably) start selling a heck of a lot more t-shirts and caps etc etc etc. So in that regard- I'm not much of a fan of making changes just for change' sake, but agree that sometimes a look (or a franchise) can just get stale and really use an update.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were a perfect example of that. I mean I loved their old uni's, but that franchise was *so* mired in badness at that point that they had absolutely nothing to lose by trying to change things up.

And then on the flip-side of that are the Denver Broncos. I absolutely loved their uniforms back in the day of the 'Orange Crush', that beautiful orange jersey and equally beautiful sky blue helmet with the bucking bronco crashing through the 'D'. That is one of the great sports uniforms ever in my opinion- and should have never been changed. There was no need for it, other than a conscious desire to sell more jerseys and apparel. It was a design campaign conceived, driven, and orchestrated by Nike (as so many of them are), and you can even see the sideways Nike 'Swoosh' not so subtly hidden on the Broncos new helmets.

Red, Navy Blue, Silver, and White makeup our new uniforms/jerseys

[PureGreatness]

i like that cap, i hope they start sellin that

[PureGreatness]

hey ATLJA316 are you sure thats our new jersey clors? hope so.

i dont mind a change but i hope we change our home jerseys.

[pimp]

LOL, They can't sell that hat , because it's not a real Hawks logo.I made that hat for myself last month

.And I can't sell it because the Hawks would sue me for using their name..

I created the Logo, and put it on a hat at www.zazzle.com

Im glad u like it

How dare you question a man with Chuck Norris (in a Hawks uniform, no less!!) as his avatar?

Let me tell ya- Chuck would not be pleased, buddy.

[sick_five]

Are the Hawks getting a new logo as well? Will the color scheme change for all the jerseys?

I say we BOMBARD ASG with E-mails, letters, and maybe even hold a demonstration somewhere demanding that if they make new uni's that they somehow bring the Pacman back! lol

It is SO time.

It's odd.. I don't know a single person who isn't crazy about the Pac-man.. but yet we still won't get it back.

When Tech host UGA it is over 65&% red in Booby Dodd Stadium.

This is a ridiculous statement. UGA always gets a good number of fans there, but nowhere near 65%. More like 20-25% MAYBE.

[mrhonline]

In his blog, Sekou says it will likely be similar to the St. Louis Hawks' uni's....

[OGRat]

If the team changes colors does that mean SkyHawk will need to change colors too? I'm not to interested in seeing a guy run around in a powder blue skin suit.
