Clintau24 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Why is adidas' treatment of graphics considered cheap looking, when Nike's golden son, Oregon, have chrome treatments on their jerseys too... are those not "cheap" ?It's not even that. It's the execution of the concept. Nike's template looks clean and smooth, and everything on it looks good. Adidas, on the other hand, goes with super stretchy materials, a poor template that can't make anything look good, and always finds a way to ruin a good design. Chrome doesn't have anything to do with it. "I believe in Auburn and love it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrome doesn't have anything to do with it. +1. Adidas lacks execution, not vision, in my mind. The idea BEHIND the TechFits is fantastic: a harder-to-grab jersey which means your ball carriers are harder to tackle although it means your linemen won't draw as many holding calls for defenders grabbing a fistful of jersey. Still, the basic idea is solid. As the Adias exec said, "you can't tackle what you can't grab."So, on one hand I applaud them for trying to innovate, but then I see that UA and Nike have similar innovations and ALSO DON'T screw the design pooch in the process. 5th in NAT.

mafiaman Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I didn't know Duke was going back to the Indianapolis Colts stripes (notice the new ACC logo) ...I'm happy: That Duke player has no arms! Can't unsee it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsaline97 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 What bugs me about the promo shots is that this guy was the only one to get any kind of wristbands:Maybe I'm trying too hard to rip up Adidas. This set is pretty darn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 The eagles in the stripes are interesting but the uniforms are so so. Maybe if they picked shoulder loop over striping rather than both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germanshepherd Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 UNT's new jerseys are fine, would look better if the stripes were 100% solid. The pants are just boring. ASU's jersey's are pretty good, in fact I like them better than the last nike jersey. The pants are decent, the pitchfork looks very applied and unnatural to me. But the helmets are bad. The maroon helmet should have a gold fork. The white helmet should only be worn when going all white and the black helmet should only be worn when going all black. Gold helmets and pants should be worn for a good majority of the season. My main issue with these uniforms are probably going to be like the main issue I had with the last Nike set. It's not the design, it's how they wear it. White/Maroon/White and Black/White/Black is just not ASU. (unless you're talking about Arkansas stAte) i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STL_ArchMadness Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I think another thing is that when Nike used the chrome helmet & numbers for Oregon, it was truly innovative and they were the first team to do it. Also, to my knowledge, that's the only team that Nike has given those chrome numbers to. A problem with Adidas is that its like they don't stitch anything anymore, every single jersey they produce is heat pressed on with those shiny metallic chrome numbers. http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/98633-2014-nfl-concept-expansion-series-dallas-cowboys/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoknight Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 North Texas looks alright. Sleeve pattern is lifted from what Arizona had for a while and the pants are from the old Mizzou set, if I recall properly.Those looks aren't bad independently but the sleeves are sort of blocky/triangular and sharp, while the pants are more curvy and swooshy, if that makes any sense. Not a great pairing in terms of design matching. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.

Rambulance Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 re: North TexasI'm not a fan of the black, but I can live with it.What I can't live with is why you'd want to recycle perhaps the worst helmet stripe ever from the Seahawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
