Brave-Bird 08 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Yep, UA has really screwed themselves over. Classic pants stripes don't work on their new design, and the modern pants stripes are god awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycumbee19 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Why didn't they just make the pants stripes to be uniform with the helmet and sleeves? I guess that would just make too much sense. Way to eff it up, UA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 What are the chances this has something to do with the construction of the pants and sewing? This looks like a big plate of stretchy fabric sewn into the sides. If you went wight he sleeve/helmet stripes, would they be more difficult to construct and sew?

Mongoose Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 UA made the same mistake with BC as well. Both teams pants stripes get cut off at the end.Also, I have always thought that instead of changing the pants to match the helmet stripe, that Auburn should change the helmet and road jersey stripes to match the pants stripe. I like how the pants stripe and jersey stripe both go white/blue/orange and that match gets ruined if the pants stripes are changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottysprings Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Doesn't look terrible but doesn't look great either. I prefer this style striping cutoff (at the bottom of the pants) to the Pro Combat pant striping cutoff (towards the top of the pants). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look terrible, but they were probably cheaper to produce in this manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Poncho Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 What a giant mistake. Of all the things they could have done, a goofy half-slash at the knee that truncates the stripe is just plain old nonsensical. It's the spaz patrol at UA trying like hell to get Auburn to do something new and the stalwarts in Auburn fighting it. The compromise is a stupid semi-modification that only serves as a downgrade.

It's the same for all UA teams, and unfortunately it cuts off the bottom of classic pant stripes.

I guarantee if the reigning National Champions didn't like what their outfitter came up with, they'd change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wouldn't save $.01.The stripes not matching looks worse too, and I don't think that would save any money either, but even if it did we are talking about a tiny amount in a valuable endorsement contract. They could have made it work. it's not like they sell replica or authentic football game pants. All they need to make is how many the team needs.

BrandMooreArt Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 this is just odd. UA has to account for the traditional stripe design but it appears they ignored it. unless its just something they've tried so it is noticeable and memorable. in that case its as good as a logo, seeing the stripe cut is an instant and constant reminder of the uniform being UA. i like the thinking there, but this was not the way to go with it. it just makes a tangent on the uniform, the stripes point connecting with the edge of the pants leg seam. Nike did it better because they understand design principals better GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespleenenator Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Once again, this is why Under Armor must die. They are incapable of doing anything right. Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me. I cry tears.Chopping off the dicks of Filipino boys and embracing causes that promote bigotry =/= strong moral character.
