The National Football League is launching a makeover of its red, white and blue "NFL Shield" logo that adorns everything from player jerseys to fan T-shirts and hats.

The league is creating a leaner, meaner version of the iconic logo that will debut at the NFL draft in April, 2008. The revamped shield will be slightly taller and thinner, with a new football, fewer stars and darker colors, says Lisa Baird, the NFL's senior vice president of marketing. The redesign marks the first changes to the shield since 1980.

Part of me says don't mess with a classic. But a normal casual fan would never notice the difference.

I don't like that they messed with the stars but the letters, football, and colors all look much better.

Not much of a difference but the new one looks better to me.

Yuk. I don't like it at all. It looks like a graffiti experiment gone wrong. I think I just had a flashback to 1987, but I'm not sure. Anxious

Not that much different. I like the old one better actually, I like it lighter and it has more stars.

The new one is definately better. The football looks better and the stars make sense. I wonder how much they paid someone to re-do it Wink

The new version is really nice, and it's close enough to the old logo where most people won't even notice the difference.

Eh, whatever. I guess i like the new one a bit better, but really it's hardly any different and few people will ever notice.
