CAB Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 FSU screwed up the new jerseys. Love the garnet numbers, but subtle differences like this will irritate me because it's so minor. They are using the new template and cutting the collar short which is different to the home and alt jerseys. I really hope they put them all on this template now, though I will dislike the collar tweak.FSU would look so much better if they used the same size pattern from the collar on or near the cuffs. It just doesn't look like it's meant to be blown up as much as it is on the sleeves. The garnet numbers are a huge improvement, though.Oh yeah, and kudos to A&M for a great throwback. The tire tread does feel really out of place, but it's great nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Holy crap... Aggy's throwback helmet is incredible! It seriously looks stitched-together!If only Adidas hadn't ruined it by getting lazy with the rest of the uniform. I think their number set has two fundamental problems:The kerning between the 1's:The fact that the 5 is just an upside down 2:Glad somebody mentioned this,but i was tinkering with the WVU number set that posted this board not to long ago and i made adjustments to the aforementioned 1 and 5 made it a bit more cosistent w/ the rest.the original:the modified:To add onto that here it is with a fixed 3.Not bad, but the 2, 4, and 7 could still use some work.

PhlyBoy Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 HGI They are unreal at what they do.That helmet is blowing my mind. So are those all decals? or is just the front decals and the stitching around the back on the helmet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Since it's HGI, I believe the numbers on the front are decals, but the rest of the helmet (the stitching) is a hydroskin. No actual stitching involved. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No actual stitching involved.It looks like the stripes are decals as well. Also i'm seeing some inconsistencies in the facemasks. Some of them have white paint under the clips while others don't.

If only the look wasn't ruined by the modern day Adidas logos everywhere. The frustrating part is that they've had some nice retro looks like michigan and notre dame in the past and it looks like they just mailed it in from the neck to the ankles. That helmet though, is still blowing my mind. Are the side stitches hand painted or is it part of the wrap? Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djam2410 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 from best i can tell those stitches are hand paintedThey are, according to the press release via UniWatch:Texas A&M’s helmet, produced in concert with Hydro Graphics Inc. and Riddell, is dark maroon with a hydro film leather-like texture featuring wing and cross graphics created using high-resolution photographs of an actual helmet worn by the 1939 team. The helmet also features simulated stitching, wear-and-tear, and raised ear protection painted by hand via HGI artists on each shell to further enhance the appearance of a vintage helmet.Each helmet shell carries a stenciled “AMC” brand, referencing the “Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas” as Texas A&M was known in 1939, on the rear portion of the helmet, just as the original version did 75 years ago. This brand signifies that each helmet was custom-made for Texas A&M. More than six staff hours went in to create the unique appearance of each individual helmet.
