I didn't hate their previous use of gray, but seeing them side by side, the white does so much good for the uniform. It makes everything much more vibrant.

Pant stripes don't increase jersey sales.

Scrubbing through the video of the Texans helmet, there is a very small version of the bull head logo on the back using the powder blue in place of white. Reminiscent of the Oregon O on the back of their winged helmets (but smaller) or the W on the Commanders black helmet (but on the back).

You're actually on to something here. It's now a 'cast' shadow now instead of a 'drop' shadow. You can really see it in the serifs of the I and Ns. The wordmark also looks slightly less tall before. I don't know, but it's definitely not the same mark as before.

So you're saying the jersey ad did its job? /s

Not what they did. Swoosh is above the horn. Red line is just a stripe.

What looks like an H is just a navy Nike swoosh – you can also see it in the reflection. The red appears just to be an inlaid stripe.

I could totally see this being a planned leak, intentionally using the away uniform. If they are indeed using four different designs, you'd have to think the road combo would be the tamest. Leaking gets people talking and them some publicity before the big "splash" unveiling.

I feel like the numbers would be a little more palatable if they weren't so thick. There's not much room in the interior of some of those digits, and double-digit number, especially with a 3, 6, 8, 9, etc., could look really clunky. Is it just me, or is that navy not as blue as their old navy? It looks a little less saturated.

Vandy has unveiled an updated take on their 03–05 script for their throwbacks this season.

A speculative update on the specualtions risen above:

What a shame, in my opinion. I always thought the Jets’ current look was a good modern set – restrained and simple with just enough flair to make them unique. All that y he “legacy” jerseys have going for them is just that – nostalgia. Without that they’re boring, nondescript, sporting goods uniforms.

Vandy has updated their lids with the new V branding unveiled a couple of years ago. Previously, they had a baseball-specific block V. This year, both the football and basketball teams have used a darker, richer gold compared to the khaki-like color used by most programs. Not sure if that will be the case for baseball (and doesn't seem like it will be based on the above photo, but we shall see). I'm also interested to see if they update their script – the tittle of the 'i' was the old Star V logo.

I’ll throw in the caveat that this game had some heavy rain, so that combined with the shiny fabric skewed things a bit. They were a much closer match on normal days.

I broke that down back in August. Basically, the new gold pants are a completely different model than their other pants – a model not found in the public Nike catalog or worn by any other college or pro team. That led me to believe they were outsourced. The second tweet in that thread really shows the difference, and the Saints definitely lean toward Vandy’s 2022 gold. The change was much more pronounced on the field than I anticipated. I think it showed best in their games against Florida – definitely gold and not “pale khaki”.
