If you saw SDL, Dean made a comment to Shane about needing a new IC title belt as Miz had ruined the current one, well one is on the way. First saw it on wreddit (I'll credit when I get to a computer and have a way to do so) where one of the people big into belt making and trading posted that new IC and US Titles had been commissioned by WWE. It also was talked about in an Elite Audio on PWInsider that WWE was moving forward with new titles for both the US and IC. These seem to be all new designs that are supposed to tie them into the brand they are on going forward.

Yep I'm glad you made a thread for it as I didn't have time to. I say they go ahead and debut the new belts at WM and give the winners of those respective matches the new titles.

So I was right! It's about time, I hate both belt designs, the IC just looks way too dated around all these other belts and the US is just ugly.

I mean I would of kept IC title way it is but everything is on it's way to being a blue or red title so it was bound to happen.
US title has been long overdue tho for sure.

I don't mind the IC title, though I would have liked it better if it had a black strap to go along with the gold.
I just hope they don't look like copies of the WWE & Universal titles.

If they look anything like the tag team or cruiserweight belts, then let's just stick with what we have

I just hope they don't look like copies of the WWE & Universal titles. The person on wreddit said that they are supposed to new designs, so no big logo like the top titles or anything from the past. I am wondering if we don't get a situation like the tag belts where they use the same design for both the US and IC, just different colored leather.

The IC title is gorgeous. And I love the white strap too. But I like the red/blue scheme for the belts. Looking forward to the changes.

I've really enjoyed having the classic IC around these past 5 years, but I get they need to push the brand designation.

I've only ever thought the current Intercontinental title belt looks good when held by Cody Rhodes, so I'm a-okay with that. And the US title design has been needing to be changed for years.
That said, the brand recognition thing with it is beyond dumb. Seems like it's doing nothing but limiting the merchandising opportunities and making everything bleed together. Something to be said for looking legitimate and like both shows are equal, sure, but also something to be said for being homogenized and boring.

Just don't make them Big W's. What's wrong with a big W?

US-Sure a change might be good.
IC-For what reason? There is a reason why said belt resonates with fans. If it just gets a black strap or blue that's fine but this isn't just nostalgia talking. The '88-'98 WWF titles looked fantastic.

Does WWE not realize that designing all their belts based on the show they are on mean that they can't just draft a champion to the other brand?

Replaces the Universal title's red leather strap with a blue one and boom, it's a Smackdown title. Problem solved. They can't really swap the womens and tag titles but I'm pretty sure they didn't do that during the original split either.

I dread what these are going to look like. Probably the same designs, but with brand-colored straps (Red for the Raw US Title, Blue for the SD Live's IC Title).
