The more I look at this the more I am kind of warming up to it. .. . I really like the orange facemask.
Now, this is something which is intriguing to me. It would look very good with white/white. It would look even better with white pants and BROWN tops.

It's growing on me very quickly, too. I like it a lot.

DD,
How about another white one with the new retail mark peeking out from behind the new BG font? Just curious how that would look.

Great graphics and very creative, however that white helmet may be the ugliest thing I have ever seen. The idea of a white helmet makes me gag.

As a designer, I would caution folks, because there's no doubt that most any intensely colored logo is going to look better on a white background. That being said, I still do not like the new "retail" logo. :P

I'm with you on the "retail" logo. I do really like the new athletic logo though. And I will say that the new "retail" logo could have been worse. . . (anyone see the weird logos they were throwing around in the late 90s?? those were bad)

I hope they add the new font to the uniforms- even if it isn't on brown jerseys like this one:

I agree that I would like to see something on the front of the unis that uniquely identifies the team as being from Bowling Green.
