goblue123 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Take this with a grain of salt because I can offer exactly 0 proof, but I was speaking with a member of the Michigan athletic department the other day and she mentioned that nike was developing both a custom font and pattern for Michigan that were somehow unique to the school, but I have no idea in what capacity they will actually be used on the uniform. She also complained that they weren't allowed to make any new promotional material with any adidas gear in it. She said Nike was furiously working to finish just 1 football uniform so they could start taking promotional shots for the 2016 season, which means the earlier leak was likely a prototype.

Hopefully Nike doesn't over complicate this. Michigan should have one of the easiest uniforms in CFB to design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSU151 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 The Portland State number font is 99% the same as the Astros' number font. That's why it looks so similar (from Conrad's font file): Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't surprise me if the new number font is similar to the throwback font. The pattern is probably sublimated bumblebee stripes, and it will be used for sports other than football, except for maybe on an alt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I don't love the new numbers, I do think they're ok and I like the double outline since it reminds me of the Fitz drop shadow style. Needs a stripe on the pants and a white outline on the numbers instead of that stupid double outline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAWeaver Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I wouldn't mind Pitt's uniforms if they either had a single number outline or none at all. The double outlines make the font look thin. Simply making the first outline from the numbers the same color as the number and it would be better. In other words, make the white outline on the road numbers navy and the navy outlines on the home gold. Another thing that kinda bugs me is how loose and, dare I say, "careless" that Pitt script is (sort of like the Minnesota Twins throwback script), yet how blocky the numbers are. @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webfooter Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Man, Adidas just can't keep their big name schools. Pretty soon, they're only going to be left with a bunch of lower-tiered P5 schools and non-P5 nobodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMac Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Now that UCLA is moving on from Adidas. What P5 schools do they have left? Nebraska, Miami, NC State, and Texas A&M all come to mind. Arizona State too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
