DS729 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I hate the that green helmet for Miami, it's way too bright, I wish they'd just stick with white, and Louisville's is just a mess, I like Louisville's blackout uniform, but the number font is kinda wonky and the Adidas tire track template is just awful in every way.

colinturner95 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Louisville's helmet is awful. From far away, you can't even tell there's a helmet logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Those are two bad uniforms. On the canes, the mismatched greens are bad enough, but the white material of the jersey looks so cheap... almost see-through in areas. Nike's multiple-fabrics-on-one-item-of-clothing gimmick has grown pretty stale IMO. But I guess its worth it to look like crap as long as your ".08577% faster!!"And the less said about that God-awful template Louisville is stuck with the better. Nasty looking game all around. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhlyBoy Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 The bashing over Miami is ridiculous. Besides the greens being slightly off, they look pretty darn good. It seems people here just can't like football uniforms unless the helmet, sleeves and pants have 3 stripes and that's it. Yes, a lot of modern uniforms suck, but it seems 99% of modern uniforms unveiled get ripped on here. And I'm not a modern fanboy or anything, because Louisville looks like complete garbage tonight, but Miami looks legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorpeligro Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Watching the Louisville-Miami game tonight made me wonder:Are there any Adidas schools that still wear Techfit 1.0 (i.e., not "ShockWeb")? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clintau24 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks the Nike mesh areas look cheap. They showed a player on the bench earlier and the nameplate and surrounding area were predominant. They looked like they were part of the vintage tear-away jerseys. "I believe in Auburn and love it!"

The 'U' is still intact on the helmet and the jersey and pants are similar to the Ken Dorsey-era jerseys. It's not a bad look at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germanshepherd Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Louisville-Miami was a decent looking game that was a few tweaks on each side from being a great looking game. Louisville looks bad with that template with Adidas but who doesn't. You can't have sleeve stripes and the tire tread template with chains on the shoulders and look good. The lids for Louisville looked pretty good, would love to see something like that with white. Miami has a perfect logo for a white helmet (my favorite helmet color) so the green looks bad. The ibis isn't as noticeable as I'd like it to be but overall it's a very nice look with some nitpicks. i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL_ArchMadness Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I know this is late, but did we ever come to a conclusion about the Nike pics we saw of the FLA State helmets that we all gold? Are we not gonna see those?and also, IMO here's how you fix the Noles unis:- make all the gold darker, more of a gold and less of a "cardboard" color- CHANGE THE FACEMASK COLOR, oh my god did I hate that. Did no one notice how purple it was before they were used?- also fix the paint on the facemasks, it was chipping off on a ton of players- also also, get some new material of helmet stickers. Those spears were almost completely wiped off on some player's helmets. Is Nike trying to put on the cheapest material's they can find? (I mean I know they are haha) but come on- make the numbers on the white uni garnett with a gold outline, those were way to hard to see http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/98633-2014-nfl-concept-expansion-series-dallas-cowboys/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohryan Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Wow. Miami looked terrible tonight. You'd have to think that some of these programs would put their foot down and tell Nike "no" at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorback447 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Wow. Miami looked terrible tonight. You'd have to think that some of these programs would put their foot down and tell Nike "no" at some point.I think it's probably a personal presence. Personally, I thought Miami looked good tonight. Louisville on the other hand was a mess to me. Like so many others have stated, that Adidas template just ruins the uniforms before you even get started.

Kevin W. Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Wow. Miami looked terrible tonight. You'd have to think that some of these programs would put their foot down and tell Nike "no" at some point.That's never going to happen as long as Nike continues to pour money into these programs.Look at the contracts for big-name coaches. They get money from Nike/Adidas/UA. So do the other parts of the programs. They are all being used as billboards and the schools need that money.

I know Saban was being offered big time money by UT. They're not gonna stray from their traditional uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Blows last year's season opener uniforms by MILES. Nice clean look for them. TCU is one of the few schools that actually makes purple look good.I think these three teams have always made purple look goodThe other purple schoolsDon't forget Washington.Prior to the redesign. The new ones looked hideous in Hawaii.Washington looked best when they had the darker gold pants (vs the tan they've worn for the last dozen years or so). The brassy look was unique. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
