I love that its unique. I don't like it when design's are so close to previous ones. I don't think its perfect, but nothing is. I want to see better Independence Day parallel's. Hopefully they improve on those this year.

I guess if you don’t like it you’re a hater and wrong.

All praise Marty Moose!

Funny side note: there’s no proof Henry Ford ever said that quote.

Here’s one link, of many you can find online, that talks about it.

No one’s called you a hater, or even directly said “you’re wrong”. Everyone has their own opinion. It’s fine.

I'm going to have to ask for a quote to support this position. No one has said anything like that. Sounds to me like self pity from someone who just wants to be contrarian.

I'm just the messenger. Maybe the decision-makers at Fanatics googled it, too.

I mean, a lot of very important decisions have been decided in similar ways in the past…so maybe!

I think the bigger issue for Fanatics is that given how many products are essentially "parallels" of the flagship design, their sales will also be hurt if the flagship design does not have widespread appeal.

If Fanatics wanted to show some concepts with Shiplap, I would give them a look. No promises though.

No kidding, there is a stark turn in the consumer branding space to brands with more character after basically, every brand went to black and white with block lettering.

I do like the thinner borders, looks better than the original mockup. Still kinda meh, dont love it, dont hate it. Feels like a Steve Aoki release not a basic flagship one.

A little too retro and a little too casual-ish looking

People who don’t like this design may lean heavier into Gilded in ‘24.

If the sample Elly they use for Marketing is OC, what chance does a regular pack pulled card have....

Black borders and huge borders will create an insane premium for PSA 10 paper.

Not a fan of the paper but the chrome could be next level.
