    The merchandise is selling very well, too. Teams usually change their uniforms when they either stink, and/or need a boost in merch sales.
    The bird is ridiculous. Why does it have a white beak and a giant b on the side of its head? The b on the pants is silly too. The sheila should go but would be tolerable with other changes.

    The jerseys should be black.

    They still look like XFL uniforms.

    The shield should go because you don't like it??

    Obviously the Ravens and most of their fans love it or it wouldn't be featured so prominantly. It'll never go away because it's almost perfect!
    You're just gonna have to get over it.

    My guess as to why it has a giant B on the side of it head...and I'm only guessing here, and I may be wrong......they play in Baltimore

    Or maybe it stands for Bisciotti

    I like the shield but think this looks better on the side of the jersey sleeve as they had at one time.

    I love this logo! Not sure why we went away from it completely - was it associated with the original flying B shield? Regardless, I'd like to see this one used in some capacity.

    Yeah, the outstretched Flying Raven. http://findlogo.net/images/B/baltimo...082%20logo.jpg A cool logo. Why it isn't used is beyond me! The money they could make off of T-shirts.

    2 SB's with the current helmet.

    Sub .500 each year with the shield.

    Yeah, let's change.

    I didn't like it when I first saw it but I must admit it's growing on me.
    I'm talking about the Gold helmet with the the shield on the tee shirt on the left.
    If they must consider an alternate helmet I might warm up to this one.
    Again the one on the left.

    AS for the "B" the Ravens use, I've never liked it.
    What they should do is adopt the "Old English B" that the old Orioles used to use and sell. The Ravens should replace the ugly "B" in their shield with this and the coaches should wear the "English "B" caps during games plus it would add a more Gothic look to shield.
    The letter in purple outlined in gold on a black cap with a purple bill.
    The Orioles also should replace the dumb "O's" cap with this one on Friday night games and they should also put an orange bill on the cap too. It would be a uniting universal Baltimore sports thing only separated by team colors!

    I've always kind of thought something like this would be a cool alternative a couple times a season.

    the backwards logo doesn't work.
    There are already several silver helmets in the league so maybe gold would be better.
