On an unrelated note, i hope that A.) the new Techfit pattern doesn't show up very much on Nebraska's red, and B.) if it does, they just stick with the version that they used last season, because for some reason the tire treads don't show up much in natural lighting with NU's color of red (also kind of hoping that they bring back the throuback alts from last year, cause i really liked how they looked on the field) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 It's so interesting to me that any texture in the fabric of a jersey, except mesh holes, is completely reviled no matter how simple or austere it is. Tough crowd.

cajunaggie08 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 No major changes to Texas A&M's home uniform. They've switched to the newest Adidas uniform so they have the odd half collar that was seen on previous sets. The Adidas logo and SEC patch have switched places this year.

I still wish they'd go back to white facemasks and lose the bevel in the numbers...and maybe bring back this ampersand Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

aawagner011 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 The Aggies have a good thing going with their uniforms. The shoulder stripes are unique and something they can own. The word mark looks to have gotten a bit smaller. I liked it larger across the chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dual shoulder stripes was a unique look in the P5 the moment they unveiled it, and they have owned it ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough crowd. I wouldn't mind a texture if it looked good, but Adidas' textures have looked consistently bad. No uniform is improved by covering it in tire-track patterns or making it look like a corduroy sweater. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No uniform is improved by covering it in tire-track patterns or making it look like a corduroy sweater. The contrast is definitely exaggerated on the heathered one (as seen at U.S. Army All-American this year), but the texture itself, in my opinion, is much less intrusive than the last two iterations. Rib knit textures are firmly rooted in sportswear as they’ve facilitated stretch and movement for centuries, and it’s really quite subtle on the solid color versions.

MJWalker45 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 The big issue with adidas is the patterns take away from the uniforms. When doing a Photoshop, they make life difficult when switching that player from adidas to another uniform brand. But if you swipe that pattern out and the sleeves aren't short, most people won't reaalize it's an adidas top that's being used. The tire treads and the super small fit are the things I detest about them. Especially when not worn over pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "tire treads" aren't nearly as noticeable on most colors as people act like, and the jerseys weren't designed to be worn without pads or photoshopped.. While I can understand your personal frustrations regarding them, I don't think it's fair for that to affect your overall opinion of the jerseys themselves so heavily..

The only colors that aren't affected by the tire tread is white and scarlet. The new template hasn't stood out so much except for the ASU "sweaters".

Being affected and being distracting are two very different things, but is still argue that is really only noticeable on a couple colors.. I don't notice it on any of ASU's uniforms except the grey, and it's really only slightly noticeable on Miami's green.. It's only as annoying/obvious as we want it to be to justify our complaining (apart from the grey, where it's really noticeable).. Plus, the kids LOVE the pattern.. So from a manufacturer's standpoint, if they can replicate a traditional look (i.e. Miami), while still looking like to the recruits, it's a win-win.. We uniform nerds are in the minority, and will pretty much lose this battle every time.. But I think the sentiments regarding the "tire tread" pattern are a bit exaggerated by this board.. Sure, it's a tiny bit ugly, but it's mostly unnoticeable on most colors.. At least not to the point of distraction and damaging the aesthetic of the uniform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least not to the point of distraction and damaging the aesthetic of the uniform You might not think it’s distracting to you, but to me and many others it is very distracting when watching a game. The only exceptions are bold bright colors like scarlet, orange, and yellow. Everything else the patterns a total eye sores. The newest template has reduced many of those problems eliminating the tread patterns, and instead going for very fine lines, but they now all have rediculouse looking half collars for no apparent reason. Now I won’t blame adidas for ASU’s grey jersey looking like a sweater, for all I know that may have been the look ASU wanted. Why? Idk but it wouldn’t be the first time they made unusual styling choices either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
