As far as the Nikeblog quote, well, consider the source. He or she has an agenda.
I for the most part like the ASU changes. Effective logos need to be simple, and Sparky was not simple (nor was Donald Duck). I prefer the helmet logo to the main logo because the things dripping from under the pitchfork makes it too busy. One element that I think the designers did a bad job with is the numeral size. Toby\'s little brother looks really dorky with the tiny 52 across his chest. Numbers 7 and 8 look fast with the little numbers on their chest, however. (I\'m totally serious here.) There\'s got to be some size for which the linemen look powerful and the swift skill position players look fast.
The fact that yet another school is offering all blacks says that the all blacks have come close to jumping the shark. They were probably cool when the cool kids were doing it, but now, everyone is. In two years, no one will be wearing black uniforms. It will be similar to the polyester baseball uniforms of the 1970s.
