burgundy

Is the silver painted in the same finish as Notre Dame's gold? I like it. The thin white outline around the logo is unnecessary, but otherwise, that's a great look for them.

What the hell are "Parthers"?

That whole thing is a crypto scam, so it's no surprise their logo looked like a ripoff. The image of their "console" was also taken from someone else's concept. They've since changed the logo to a stick of butter being shoved into a hexagon:

It continues to baffle me why they insist on using the burgundy W on a burgundy background everywhere except the helmet. It looks pretty good on the Helmet, which is the only good part of the rebrand, and is a primary piece of branding... yet nothing else matches it. This franchise is such a dumpster fire. Can Dan Snyder be kicked to the curb already? What are the other owners waiting for?

How the hell does Notre Dame wearing green against Cal mean they've "fallen"? They don't wear green for only "big" games. They've worn them against Army, Boston College, and a mediocre Florida State that was not the team it used to be. Green was originally used as a clash against teams like Iowa and Navy before away jerseys were used. USC is obviously the most famous and frequent opponent for ND to wear the green against, but there's really no rules they've followed for when they break out the green.

Yeah, they've been very strict about brand consistency since UA took over. It makes sense to want consistency, after years of wavering between Kelly and Forest green, athletic gold and metallic gold, and even sometimes royal blue instead of navy. Unfortunately, for some reason they decided navy outlined in gold looked good on green, and have stubbornly stuck with it. For apparel it works fine, and the script on baseball and basketball jerseys kinda works, but the numbers are just awful. Gold numbers would look a bit better, but I'm not sure their current shades of gold and green have enough contrast between them. It's probably a nightmare for colorblind people. I've always thought the best green jerseys were when they just swapped out blue for green, leaving white numbers. The Dan Devine era jerseys really weren't that great, with a brighter, more yellow athletic gold that did not match the helmets at all. The Weis era green jerseys always felt too dark and muddy for my liking. The Willingham jerseys got it right, but they got embarrassed in them, so we never saw them again.

It pretty much is just dark teal. The Eagles' Midnight Green is Pantone 316 C, right by the Jaguars' original teal at 315 C. Jacksonville has since updated to 3155 C, which is used by other "teal" teams. The LA Galaxy used 3165 C, and called it teal. And of course there's the Hornets, who use 3145 C. Then there's the Sharks, who have used all of those as their teal.

A few more pictures: Similar to UA's current philosophy, Gerry Faust decided that a green jersey MUST include blue, giving us these... unique stripes. Faust even said they were one of the ugliest uniforms he'd ever seen. The blue stripe was the "Madonna Blue" they wore at the time that was basically royal blue. Faust's use of Madonna Blue was an attempt to go back to ND's traditional blue and gold after years of wearing green under coach Devine, but he wanted to go back to the school's original shade of blue instead of navy. Of course, like much of his tenure at ND, he came up short at that too. If they used the original blue, they'd look like UCLA:

I love when Notre Dame wears green. I've probably embraced the kelly green more than most, as I've worn almost exclusively green ND gear since at least 2004. I'd have the football team wear green 3 times a season if I had my way. But not in those current jerseys. The blue numbers on green are illegible garbage. People (and announcers) have been saying so since they first debuted, yet UA and ND have refused to go back to what worked. I really want to be excited about green jerseys coming back, but those blue numbers really put a damper on it.

Blue jersey with white pants and blue socks seems like the best combo with a blue helmet. No thanks on the mono-blue.

Are you certain that it didn't become a stock font after being designed for Toledo, like the Maryland and Texas Tech fonts? The earliest catalog I can find is from 2013, which shows this exact group of fonts. https://issuu.com/kollegetown/docs/kollege_town_under_armour_2013_football/78

Definitely inspired by NASA's worm logo font (appropriate for a team named Rockets), but not the same. FUN FACT: Gene Kranz, the Chief Flight Director of NASA's Gemini and Apollo missions, is from Toledo.

Obviously it's not perfect, but as far as catalog uniforms go, it works better than most. In an ideal situation, they'd have a custom number font to match the wordmark, but they gave that option up when they switched from UA to Nike.

It's disappointing that Toledo has been stuck with catalog uniforms since switching to Nike. However, the notches in the MSU numbers actually work with Toledo's logo, so I don't mind it. Heck, their "Toledo" wordmark used notches 13 years before MSU did it.

Count me as another fan of the 93 look. I love the red numbers and mismatched shoulder numbers, and the pants stripe was unique without being ridiculous. Then they stripped it of any character in 94 before getting a bit goofy in 95.

Wouldn't it make more sense to wear them in week 17 when they play Miami at home, so the New England fans get to see them? And of course the Dolphins should wear the white throwbacks for the perfect matchup. They could obviously debut them before that (my bet's on Chicago), but that matchup is too perfect to pass up.

That does look much better, but I understand what you mean about it not fitting your original goal. I have some ideas that might work if you'd like to try it. In the wordmark, only the E has the swoopy notch, and it leads into the middle stroke. I suggest trying the notch only on the middle of 3, 6, 8 and 9, with the 8 having a second, flipped notch that aligns with the bottom line of the middle stroke. The tail serif could still work, but looks a little wonky on the 7. Maybe take a cue from the top of the A and have a vertical stroke before going diagonal? Like the Bucs' 7.

Considering this is what Marathon stations have looked like for the last three to four decades: I think people will notice. Sure, the logo isn't much different, but that new canopy design is drastically different. I like the updated logo. The new canopy is fine, but wouldn't say it's better. It definitely doesn't feel outdated anymore though, and from my experience, there are quite a few Marathons that are VERY outdated. If they're trying to appear more modern, maybe they'll finally replace the pumps and broken card readers that are from the 90s.

Get rid of the notches and Viking sails and that's a pretty good modern number font. They don't need all the extra little details to be cohesive with the wordmark, as long as they look like they're in the same family. The uniforms are a definite upgrade over what they have, and a nice blend of eras. The helmet wings do look a bit weird with the green outline though.

I think the original rules for Color Rush allowed for teams to use their historical colors, which is how we got the Chargers in royal, Jets in kelly, Saints with old gold, and Rams in athletic gold. So as long as an alternate is designated as "Color Rush" it can use former team colors in a non-throwback uniform.

The 49ers' black uniforms actually pre-date Color Rush. I think the black in the logo, as well as their history of black drop shadows is what allowed them to have black uniforms.

If there's one thing I appreciated about Washington's new uniform reveal, it was their blunt honesty about why they made such a dumb decision.

If I had a hog that was ugly as those uniforms, I'd shave his butt and tell him to walk backwards.

That's a good thing. These are easily the best of the series. That A logo is the best logo they've ever had. It looks like a classic uniform with a few quirks, instead of wacky for the sake of wacky. The Dodgers didn't really get the memo either, and put in less effort. "Slap Los Dodgers on there and make the sleeves look sweat-stained. Done."
