Does anyone actually like our new logo?

I ordered a Patriots grill cover from Wal-Mart that I was very excited about. The picture showed that it was the old logo, the cursive font with the Flying Elvis over the P - my favorite. When it came in the mail and I opened it up I was pissed to see that it was this new ****ty logo we use now, NOT what I ordered. I was so pissed I returned it because it's so awful looking. I don't buy any Pats merchandise with this awful looking logo on it, and it's a shame now that they updated our jerseys this year to have that crappy looking thing on them.

I had a customer at work the other day who was wearing one of those really nice Nike Therma-fit sweatshirts with the old logo on the front. I asked him about it and where he bought it, head online when I get home to order one because it was really very nice looking. Sure enough they have all been updated and replaced with the new logo. I can't be alone in thinking that this new font is horrendous right?

I know lots want Pat Patriot back but I grew up with the nice cursive font and I like it a lot. Most of my Pats stuff I own has that logo on it, there's just something about the way it looks... I really wish they would have never changed it. It's very hard to find a lot of the products I want (jackets, hoodies) because they are all ruined with the new logo. Even our end zones look awful now.

Am I alone in wishing the cursive font logo would return? Or am I alone in even caring this much?

Not a big fan of the new logo. The font is awful. Like the Flying Elvis a little better though.

Yeah, these days anything I buy has to be something with only the Flying Elvis. Can't deal with wearing anything that has that font on it. I hope they change the logo soon. I know I have a 0.5% chance of it going back to the cursive one, so now I'm just ready for something completely new.

I like the old one better but the new one looks good on the jersey. Don't like it in the end zone though.

I have nothing against the new one, it's solid. But the old one was better. If it ain't broke..

I don't like the new one, it looks weird above the numbers on the jersey.

I love the new logo ... as a matter of fact the endzone in the superbowl made me like it even more transposed

The new one is way better than the cursive style overused by baseball teams.

Sorry, I probably should have used a pic from a different Super Bowl lol.

Here, look at that beautiful end zone!

Never really cared for the Elvis logo

I prefer the new one, actually. But, to each his own.
I would rather have the old Patriots with Pat Patriot

Logogate.

What I really like is the team we have - players, coaches and, yes, even the ownership most of the time. Like some others here, I go back to the very beginning in 1960 and given much of that history, I try and appreciate this group every day. I actually prefer the new logo, but I wouldn't really care if they changed it to Aaron H.'s smiling visage. On second thought...

I can understand being attached to the old logo, but IMO they were right that the puffy cursive was graphically dated and lacking punch. It's a minor league baseball kind of font:

I prefer the new one, and I don't much care for Pat Patriot either. Never really worried about the logo either way.

Going by the pictures, the new logo looks better painted on an end zone than the old one

The new one. It's straight forward and all business. Just like the Team.

I first started following the team (not trying to put on fanboy airs, just trying to add weight to my point) in 1981. As the team slowly started to improve and experience some success in the mid to late 80s, my elementary and middle school wardrobe was full of Boston sports teams. I had a Pats hoodie, sweatshirt, hat, all kinds of t-shirts, etc. When my dad used to take me to games back in the 80's, I was dressed to the 9s in Pats garb.

As the 80s closed out and the 1990s started, the team - on all levels was an unmitigated disaster. I welcomed the Flying Elvis. With that came of course Parcells, Drew, Kraft, etc. It was a new beginning. "Thank God", I said. To me, when I look at FE, I think, "dominance", "dynasty", "unrelenting", and most importantly, "winning".

A little off-topic here from the OP (cursive or block, I don't care) but with all the success the team has experienced these last 14 years the identity of this era is with the Flying Elvis. Part of me doesn't want to screw with success and what that logo does to the psyche of other fans and teams but the other part of me wishes that BBs gray hoodie has a "Pat" on it instead of an Elvis
