    12. Philbin, who is a former offensive line coach, wants a more athletic offensive line. That means he'll find more athletic offensive linemen in the 2013 draft. Philbin flat out said he wants athletes who can get to the second level, and redirect more than bulldozers who rely on their power, which is what Tony Sparano targeted. We're entering year two of this shift and only four offensive linemen - Jonathan Martin, Mike Pouncey, Josh Samuda and Will Yeatman - fit the mold of what he wants. And speaking of Yeatman, Philbin seemed intrigued by his upside and is excited about being able to work with him more this offseason. Keep in mind that the Packers typically draft offensive linemen who are 6-foot-4, and under 315 pounds.

    I dont like it for these reasons. 1. little feminine to me , no pizzaz or attitude 2. The up fin tail, I preferred the old pose. 3. I really don't like the sunburst in that pic, it over powers the dolphin (all i noticed was the sunburst) JMO im a hater.

    That was my thinking, the sun could be smaller now.... but behind a white backdrop it wont make a difference. ( It will be on a white jersey 50% of the time and white helmet all the time )

    Good point about the jersey/helmet being white to begin with.

    Again I will say it. Just take the leaked logo, put the dolphin in its proper pose. Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
    It's not that f**king difficult to get this right.

    I can mostly agree on that. I would actually be okay with that. Not ecstatic about it, but I could live with it.

    exactly. that, and change the sun back to the regular one. i'm not a fan of the leaked logo, but those small changes would certainly make it a little more tolerable.

    the current tail position makes it look awkward on a helmet, jersey, etc.

    Me too. The current position just looks awkward. I also don't like the new sunburst or navy shadowing.

    I agree, I have never liked the introduction of the Navy into the color scheme. It's almost like an excuse to keep the drop shadows on the uniform numbers, which I really don't like.

    I think the team is going to stick with the entirely vague "the leak is fake" statement ..... and ride it out. The unveiling Apr. 18th will still be no less relevant should they confirm it though. Our uniforms are going to be the best in sports again.

    The up-turned tail fin looks cooler by the minute. You just know they put an insane amount of time into debating and surveying that aspect. That dolphin is hauling *** now. It looks like something big in the ocean you wouldn't want to mess with, as apposed to the old loveable, huggable dolphin. It's a motion to reverse our fortunes, and fits in with the Fins up motto.

    Takes balls to make such a drastic change.

    one could argue that the change "took away balls" from the original pose, but there's not much we can do.

    What color changes? I see the only change so far is a white facemask.
    That might be the crux.

    I dont even see how you could argue that.... it makes the old dolphin look like he wants to cuddle. Compare our avatars for instance.

    The aqua is what was "tweaked" it seems. Slightly lighter, bluer, as we expected. The white face masks ( if true ) will be the best change of all !

    What the hell. I was expecting folks here to be old enough to understand I just want the white facemask.
    If you lost me with that fuzzy avatar you have it's not my fault.

    Man I miss '74-89. That was perfection, timeless. Colors were ideal and easy on the eyes.

    This alleged new logo is much more than just a slight tweak. I'm not a fan of the darker colors (including the darker orange).
    It's boring, too contrasting, and unidentifiable IMO. Where the previous logos look like they're actually jumping out of water in front of the sun, this one's posture is reminiscent of a swimming dolphin which makes him look out of place in front of the sun. Do a google search of "dolphin jumping out of water" and see how many have a severely turned up tail (or any turned up tail) without their nose being turned up as well.
    We just keep going further and further away from tradition unfortunately. So much for having one of the most identifiable sports team logos on the planet. If this one is actually it, it became just another logo.
