However, based on the photos from the draft, the stripes on the new jersey sit higher on the sleeve and follow the cut of the sleeve. i dont think they do. they dont look to me like they follow the cuff. i think the stripes are positioned the same way (level when worn by players). best i can tell right now, this is a better way of executing the same idea. yea, they lose a 3rd stripe, but it wasn't really there to begin with, in regards to Reebok's design. im not sure Urlacher's jersey is the best to use when demonstrating the lowest common denominator— lots of players have less sleeve than that (either with tailoring or with it being ticked under the pads) and you would never see that bottom stripe. so even if there is room on the Skill cut, if half the team isn't showing the stripe then what does it matter? i think we'll see a much more uniform look to the sleeve stripes on the team this year certainly has to be better than this GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroCree Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I didn't think 3 shoulder stripes would be a problem since many teams make it work with the modern jersey designs but the 49ers (along with a billion other problems they have) can't even do this right. I guess moving the stripes up a bit is too hard for them so they eliminated 1 stripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering in the NFL, whether they want it or not, helmet to helmet contact is pretty common, whereas in MLB, something has gone terribly wrong if the ball or another player is making contact with a player's helmet, I'd say there's little chance 3D logos will catch on in football.

I wasn't suggesting that I would prefer sleeve stripes to spill over onto the cuff, but having a nice, contrast cuff with a striping pattern, like the chiefs did, is a classic look.. And opens up that much more space on the sleeve for tv numbers or team logos (like the previous Dolphins' set).. Also, I think the reason the cuffs get rolled up under the pads is due to the large shoulder pad area in the Nike cuts, as well as the different cuff construction.. The Reebok era jerseys seemed slightly tighter and stretchier in the shoulder pad area, so the cuff pattern was usually visible.. Either way, just pointing out something I noticed, not specifying preference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BYU's was different than the rubbery 3D logos of MLB and helmet bumpers.. BYU's were done by EcoDomes, and they're similar to the metallic-looking badges on household appliances.. The depth of the 3D look and details is minimal.. Plus, they were designed to be a 1-game thing, so I have no idea what sort of durability they have.. They did look great though, and would probably be a better option than the baseball style rubbery 3D logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
