In one of those I should\u2019ve seen it coming but I didn\u2019t, the WWE has recently redesigned and unveiled new tag team championship blet designs.\u00a0 Over the last few years, almost all the blets have been systematically been redesigned from top to bottom, except for the tag blets, which were still red for RAW and blue for Smackdown.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Blets being in the middle of a reign didn\u2019t seem to matter for when to unveil new designs, as Roman Reigns, Asuka and Rhea Ripley all received the new versions of the blets that they had held, but for whatever reasons, the Usos having the combined tag team championships on lockdown didn\u2019t warrant swapping of those designs, but seeing as they were broken up and sent off to different shows seemed as good as time as any for the E to finally unveil new titles.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the new World Tag Team Championships were unveiled on RAW, one I was happy for the Miz and R-Truth, two WWE lifers who are the consummate pros who do anything and everything they are asked for, do it well, and always manage to get absolutely anything over.\u00a0 But two, my knee-jerk reaction to these blets were that I was relieved to see that they were finally gold blets again, seeing as how fewer things made the tag titles feel lesser-tier over the last 10+ years than the fact that they were bronze and then silver plates.<\/span><\/p>\n

The shade of gold, amount of flourish and the weird griffin chimaera creatures made me think that this perhaps could\u2019ve been a previous version or option of the World Heavyweight championship blet that ultimately ended up looking like a spin-off of the old WCW big gold blet in terms of its general shape and composition.<\/span><\/p>\n

But overall, I do really like the new World Tag Team blets, except for one thing \u2013 the font they used on it.\u00a0 Not digging the spiky, Glaive-like typeface they used, and it looks like they\u2019re trying to be a 2005 RAW graphic package with it.\u00a0 Furthermore, the type is just too fucking large, and much like my general aesthetic preference when it comes to clothing, I think when apparel requires too much text to explain it, then it\u2019s design that is not optimal.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the fonts were smaller, I could overlook the undesirable typeface selection, but overall, I\u2019m pleased with the way the new World tag blets look.\u00a0 Not sure if I\u2019d want to own one, but typically a really good discount has gotten me possession of other blets I\u2019ve felt similarly about.<\/span><\/p>\n

Obviously, once RAW had unveiled new tag blets, among the first thoughts I had was pondering what Smackdown was going to do, because it was obvious that they were going to get a redesign as well.\u00a0 But the question was, was it going to be carbon copies of the RAW titles, but with blue paint behind the globe and type?\u00a0 Or was it going to be something completely independent?<\/span><\/p>\n

Fortunately, the answer was just days away, when Smackdown unveiled the WWE Tag Team championships, with blets that looked completely different from their RAW counterparts.\u00a0 Immediately, my eyes noticed the familiar shape of the center plate, which was an obvious throwback<\/a> to older tag team blet designs, that had what I like to jokingly call the nutsack shape, because for whatever reason, the bottom has two bulges like a pair of testicles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regardless of the homoerotic comparison, my knee-jerk reaction was still positive.\u00a0 I liked that it was a completely different design, and this will prevent any future embarrassing title swaps in future draft storylines.\u00a0 It\u2019s general design is much more muted and subdued than the World tag blets with its design being more etched and not molded.\u00a0 In doing so, it does look like a cheaper blet in comparison, but as far as design goes, it\u2019s a preferable design over its counterpart.<\/span><\/p>\n

The font treatment is much more subdued and exactly how I prefer it, and the throwback shape of it is pretty much all that it needs to have to be the preferable of blets between the two.<\/span><\/p>\n

What it all boils down to is if I had to pick one, which would I go with, and that would be the Smackdown WWE Tag Team blets.\u00a0 The homage to the classic design is fantastic, and even though the World is the more detailed and nicer looking blet, the font is a turn-off for me<\/span><\/p>\n

Either way, I\u2019m glad to see that the E has redesigned both, because in the future when the tag blets are used as a prop or a means to reward two mildly over singles guys, at least they\u2019ll look good holding some actual gold straps instead of silver-plated toy-looking blets.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
