officeglenn Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 As I said in the Dolphins thread,Ā Ā @Brown1Ā andĀ @andrewharringtonĀ -- knock off the bickering, or these threads are getting shut down. And everyone else, stop putting in your two cents or your armchair analysis; it's only dragging things out. Ā Let's keep the focus on college football uniforms.

So we didnāt get a look at the new numbers or type on the jersey, just the updated monogram on the helmet? Ā That's the way I saw it.

MJWalker45 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Correct. Outside of maybe wearing Jordan football shoes and gloves I don't think they would have much Jordan gear until fall camp. Ā Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new OU looks to be the same style as the wood grain helmets...maybe an update to the wordmark on the alternate jerseys. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

JPDesign Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I'd be shocked if OU kept the current woodgrain alternates. I think they've run their course with the fans. Ā If I had to speculate, I'd say new alts are coming. I think woodgrain as a design element could very well still be a part of it, but the design will likely change.

MJWalker45 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Ohio State is now selling the 1968 home uniforms on the Vapor template so they may be coming back this year as well. It's really the only alternate they need.Ā Ā Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rixaroo Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I live in OKC. Can't remember if I read it or heard it on the radio, but Lincoln Riley stated the woodgrain alts are history. New alts in the future.Ā Ā OU has had that same helmet logo for 50 (?) years or so. I assume they put the updated logo on the helmet for the Spring Game to see if the fans would accept it. I thought there would be an uproar, but it barely made the news. I noticed it immediately on TV, but those at the game couldn't tell the difference. Ā I'm not sure when the Jordan brand unis will be revealed, but I can tell you the fanbase would be set if the jerseys don't have "Sooners" across the chest. That's kind of an Oklahoma and Texas-area jersey tradition down here. Oklahoma, Oklahoma St (not anymore), Texas, Texas Tech, Arkansas (not anymore), SMU, etc all have or had large word marking above the numbers on the chest.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itās actually quiteĀ difficultĀ to pick out which is whichĀ without the benefit of comparing them. Seeing them together makesĀ spottingĀ the difference much easier, and you can see all they did was improve the composition and clarityĀ (strongerĀ corners, a little widthĀ to balance the footprint better,Ā a little more breathing room between the letters to even out the positive/negative balance and improve it for use onĀ screens and in other small applications, that kind of stuff). In other words...Ā great design.

JPDesign Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 The alterations to the official logo are indeed very minor, but the changes made to the helmet decal were more drastic. The previous version was much narrower than the official logo. Ā The previous version had been tweaked every so slightly thought the years, but has essentially been the same since 1967.

There are too many iterations, regardless all minor differences, out and about. With a cohesive branding with a single logo edition, it does wonders. Branding, naturally, but also an easier time cutting down on knockoff goods. Licensed merchandise will no doubt have the new logo. Anything without it will easily be known as unlicensed.Ā "I believe in Auburn and love it!" Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
