artvandelay Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Not bad. I always thought that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. At least they didn't go with the Miami lookalikes that had been talked about it one point.http://clemsontigers.collegesports.com/spo.../040505aaf.html "...and you want to be my latex salesman."

sarcasm Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Clemson has always changed their uniforms up every couple of years... Nike is killing a lot of uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artvandelay Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 We've had a pretty consistent uniform for the last 6 or 7 years (since the Bowden era began). Only 2 years ago did they add the purple jersey. "...and you want to be my latex salesman." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapshot Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 You know what's missing from football uniforms? Wider collars. Let's give them wider collars.And pants that don't reach the knee. We need to market football pants as the latest hip hop trend.And androgyny. Let's get one of them hermaphrodites to model the new uniforms.Do any of these 3 people look like they would be wearing a number in the 50's on the field? None look like linebackers to me.

I think those "55" jerseys were display jerseys made a certain size. If you look in the "Mix-N-Match" feature on the site, you will see the back view of those jerseys with "CLEMSON" on the nameplate.

OnWis97 Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 I think they would be nice if they had the collar go all the way through.

rbripley Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Ugh. IMHO, aside from the logo (which appears not to have changed at all) on , these are an enormous step backwards (or at least a lateral step into the sea of non-descript, homogeneous uniform oblivion Nike has created). I imagine that both the school and Nike are equally to blame.No matter what redesign parameters Clemson established, the execution is sophomoric at best - the striping is inconsistent, the use of colors misbalanced - basic design tenets seemed to have been ignored entirely. The third option is particularly revolting and looks as if Nike reached into to their stock and pulled elements that had the school colors, like they would for Any Name High School project.That being said... it could have been a whole lot worse!Putting it into a larger perspective, Clemson bought Nike's increasingly desperate design rhetoric, hook, line and sinker and now look as silly as many other school's who opt to "re-brand." If you're going to do this, then take a change and think BIG.Though not a pure traditionalist, I for one, am ready for this trend to change-for-the-sake-of-change/revenue to slow down and once again be driven by more appropriate and thoughtful designers. I'd bet anyone a dollar that a good number of designers on this board would have offered up much stronger options that this. "Conduct may be founded on the hard rock or the wet marshes."
