Attempted to post a long reply to this yesterday but it went off into the bozone layer or something.
Anyway, your tastes are bizarre in some cases... a lot of amateurish and really dated kitschy design getting high marks (the Colts' horseshoe???), and a lot of pretty slick forward looking work conveying power and motion got the short end of your stick (I personally like the Denver "cyberhorse.") I think we might have a generational difference in perception -- and I'm in my FORTIES!
I too have to take exception to your high marks for Tennessee's flaming thumbtack. The logo's not only terrible, but because it's in professional use, somewhere there's a piece of lined notebook paper not featuring this design as a margin doodle in a 4th grade math class, where it belongs. The brilliant idea of italicizing the letters J-E-T-S with a line under them similarly leaves me underwhelmed, but I find it interesting that you panned the very conceptually similar G-I-A-N-T-S look.
In short you seem to have a weakness for simple, lighter colors with white complements (you like the old Rams' helmets, for instance, along with the Colts and the Jets, nothing darker than mid-value blues and greens, thanks) and -- I think -- dislike darker schemes and complex colors
Come over to the Dark Side, OEP. There's a whole new century coming, and these looks won't be in again until our greatgrandchildren are having this debate, and London beats Yokahama in the expanded NFL's Super Bowl CXII.
