bucknut40 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 After all the talk about Maryland's new jerseys, Arizona State reveals new all black unis. Personally I find them very simple, nothing to crazy. Just perfect i my opinion. #RaiderUpTwitter-@R_Redinger4 My Blog-Southwest Ohio Football NCFAF-Wheeling Coal Miners,NCFAF-FCS Lake Erie Shoremen, NCFAB-Wheeling Coal Miners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespleenenator Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 A little late to the party doncha think? 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucknut40 Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 A little late to the party doncha think?Well I saw them the day they were released, but its different seeing them on models than on actual players. #RaiderUpTwitter-@R_Redinger4 My Blog-Southwest Ohio Football NCFAF-Wheeling Coal Miners,NCFAF-FCS Lake Erie Shoremen, NCFAB-Wheeling Coal Miners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lahaye7 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 looks good. Still hate the ASU on the sleeves. Should have put Sparky there.

bucknut40 Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 looks good. Still hate the ASU on the sleeves. Should have put Sparky there.I agree with that, though i think this new rebrand is trying to get away from using sparky #RaiderUpTwitter-@R_Redinger4 My Blog-Southwest Ohio Football NCFAF-Wheeling Coal Miners,NCFAF-FCS Lake Erie Shoremen, NCFAB-Wheeling Coal Miners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCDuck Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Except Sparky is iconic, and "ASU" is three letters that say "ASU".This screams "we're adding black to our school's identity because all the cool kids are doing it". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy510 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Still thoroughly hate the "ASU" on the sides, and I still thoroughly hate the shoulder stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lahaye7 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I guess when schools need a boost in stature or need attention they do this rebranding thing. Others just win games I guess I am sore,wounded, but not slainI will lay down and bleed a whileAnd then rise up to fight again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 The all-black uniform is such a modern cliche... at this point you'd think a school would be embarrassed to be the 5000th team to roll out the "tuff lookin'" black duds. All black is just tired, but the worst part is the sily gradient on the numbers.Stick with the Gold and Maroon, lose the gradients, bring back Sparky (at least on the sleeves) and its a pretty nice look.

ESTONES6 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I thought the uniforms last night were terrible. Now its actually applicable to say BFBS. The yellow wasn't ASU yellow and there was no red/maroon to be found. Terrible terrible terrible. I love the logo, but Sparky didn't need to be changed.

winghaz Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Bad move by ASU. Stick with tradition. There's something to be said about the uniforms of Michigan, Ohio State, Texas, Alabama, etc., etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnySeoul Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 ASU's all-black def looked different last night against Missouri versus the Nike promos. Overall, I thought they looked great last night. Even the lame "ASU" on the sleeves looked ok. My only complaint was the shoulder stripes. On the Nike promos, I thought the shoulder stripes looked pretty damn cool, but last night on TV, they looked really bad. ASU now has one the best helmets in NCAAF.

justinthered Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Bad move by ASU. Stick with tradition. There's something to be said about the uniforms of Michigan, Ohio State, Texas, Alabama, etc., etc.ASU's old uniforms aren't the same as any of the teams mentioned. They had a cartoon devil on their helmet. He was pretty cool, but he's not quite as iconic as the buckeyes on the helmet or simple crimson set Bama wears. Iconic is often simple, and that pitchfork is perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandMooreArt Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 they repositioned themselves as a brand and the uniform does a great job of reflecting who they want to be. Sparky is way too immature for this brand and too immature for college sports in general. hes way too "cute". i dont like ASU on the sleeves as large as it is, but this is a solid look. best to reserve the black for night games.

Sparky is way too immature for this brand and too immature for college sports in general. hes way too "cute". i dont like ASU on the sleeves as large as it is, but this is a solid look. best to reserve the black for night games.Their "repositioning" translates to "we're going to hijack Florida State's number font and add black, 'cause black is COOL! Never mind the fact we've been playing football for 79 years without black. Now we HAVE to wear black 'cause it's awesome and tough and recruits won't come to our school if we don't have black jerseys, black helmets and black pants!"If Sparky is "too immature" for the football program, why does he still exist as a mascot, doing his antics during games?

Jinjoe Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Is the all black really saying all that, or is that just the sentiment you're choosing to take?I like it. It's a much better look than throwing a cartoonish devil out there in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCDuck Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Yes, it really is saying all that to me. Kinda like how the Maryland uniforms on Monday said "we are desperate for attention and season ticket holders, so we will make our uniforms as gaudy and obnoxious as possible". At the very least Maryland didn't rebrand itself to the point of having to change its school colors just to fit into a fashion statement. And at the very least, you will never see Maryland wearing anything other than black, white, red and yellow.But this isn't about Maryland. It's about ASU adding black because... wait, why did ASU add black again? Oh yeah, 'cause all the cool kids are wearing black. Nothing having to do with tradition, symbolic significance or anything of that nature. If it was a one-off uniform, I could shrug it off. But they wholly rebranded their entire athletic department seemingly around the decision to have black uniforms in football.Cause it's cool and everything.

Jinjoe Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 "Cool kids" also like to wear other colors too like red, blue, green, gold, white. Just throwing that out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCDuck Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Arizona State evidently did not receive the memo.The "ASU" on the sleeves are there to remind spectators which team they are watching, in the event that they get ASU confused with half of the other teams in 1A FBS that wear all-blacks.
