A seemingly innocuous tweet announcing the new jersey numbers of players selected in the New England Patriots’ 2024 draft sparked a firestorm over the inclusion of a never-before-seen logo.
The Patriots included a new circular logo with the letters ‘NE’ and the ‘Pat Patriot 2.0’ logo in the negative space between them.
Fans were so outraged by this that it quickly became a trending topic on Twitter.
“That new alternate logo is absolute garbage,” wrote one outraged user. “And if you put that on t-shirts, I won’t pay a dime for one.”
“I don’t know if this is an unpopular take or not, but I don’t love this new logo,” another account wrote.
