They brought back the 1975-2016 logo for throwback weekend!
It's the right thing to do because it's a nostalgic logo to me. What are your thoughts about this change for throwback weekend?

I like the modern logo, but goddamn this old logo just slaps so hard, I wish they’d just go back to it.

That logo doesn’t look like it was designed in 1975…
Anyway i’m glad to see it back, even if for just a week.

It’s was, it’s just I didn’t feel like digging in the internet to find it but this is the old one.

I wish this was the year round logo still.

I like that it keeps most of the essence of the old logo, actually. It's one of the better examples of how to modernize a logo without sterilizing it, IMO.

I’m ngl I prefer the minimalist to the over designed stuff of like 15 years ago but yeah there needs to be a balance. It’s like people complained about the over designed shit from 15 years ago and they way overcorrected

Wouldn't you say your flair is probably the antithesis of minimalism? WBR been keeping it as basic as possible for half a century

Just by doing that they put more effort into throwback weekend than 80% of the cup teams did

Is there any info on how they decided on the colors & their order? Clearly it's not the color spectrum ROY-G-BIV. What did they have against green and orange? They might be there - I'm a bit colorblind. or, the designer was colorblind.

Im not trying to be rude but it’s yellow, blue, purple, and red that is my eye sight also I just look at logos I don’t know who’s the person who made it nor the history behind it.

Still think the new logo is better than the old one

The new logo is a great modern refresh of the old logo. Given them number of graphic design botches we see in the corporate world, I'd say it's a slam dunk grand slam

I like the old purely for nostalgic reasons, but the new one does look better

I wish they had just kept this one, ngl.
The new one is certainly a tasteful re-design and keeps the same overall design (unlike what we see with most modern re-designs, think Firefox literally ruining the fucking fox), but I like how this one has more color.

It’s the little things. Love it.
Is Fox going old school on graphics?

I like the modern logo but I really wish they’d go back to this, and have the collection of sponsors on the front quarter panels with the numbers on the door.

The fact that that was actually designed as far back as 1975 is impressive to me. It still didn't feel outdated in 2016, but I'm also a fan of the modern re-brand. They didn't completely sterilize it, and it kept the theme of the original 👍🏽
