Speaking of Allstate, they are also the sponsor of the newly created Crossbar Classic. Rather than some natural-site game getting a bowl treatment by getting a sponsor and name, LEARFIELD has created a game name and will slap it on an early season game that they want extra focus on. https://www.learfield.com/2023/07/learfield-allstate-deliver-bowl-season-vibes-in-september-with-new-crossbar-classic/

I figured the grey was Mississippi State's and Adidas's way of trying to make sure A&M and them looked just different enough. I get why it didnt stick around as it just felt unnecessary with their traditional primary look. Now you can tell the two maroon SEC Adidas schools apart by knowing one has white numbers on the sleeves and the other has white stripes. VERY DIFFERENT

Here is the rest of the home uniform. Grey has been removed from the shoulder stripes so what was previously a W-G-W pattern is now W-M-W. The team wordmark has also been removed from above the numbers. The white and grey neck collar has been replaced with maroon. The M-State logo is added to the bottom of the collar which is didnt think was possible with this new Adidas template. 2022 Mississippi State primary uniform

I I like it as an alternate look, but this is a horrible choice for a primary helmet. Sure they are the only school to use the state part of their name in the SEC since LSU literally is only called LSU unless the New York Times is writing about them. But in a sport that features MANY schools with State in their name, I think its silly to just slap the word state on your helmet an expect the casual public to recognize who that is.

I've been sharpening my pitchforks

Plus their deal is with a wholesale supplier, not with Nike directly. They wont be getting anything custom until this deal ends.

Here is the logo for Big 12 media days. It seems the Big 12 may have switched their default color for the conference logo to be black and white with Houston coming in with the same shade of red that the logo previously had. The black and white logo is all over their social media pages ,website, and present on all the mic stands at the media days.

New uniforms for UTEP as they switch from Nike to Adidas. Its a much cleaner shoulder stripe as Nike used a single decal last year to act as the stripes

Close. UTRGV is the result of the merger between UT Brownsville and UT Pan American and UTPA's colors were orange and green so thats why green and navy are still shoehorned in for a school that is officially orange and grey

These wont see the field until 2025 but the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) released 3 helmet options yesterday. UTRGV is starting up a football program that will play in the WAC/United Athletic Conference https://goutrgv.com/galleries/football/football-helmets/2855

UCF's new road uniform. I see it lasting a game before the NCAA forces them to add an outline. https://www.instagram.com/p/CuKUh0eOBsf/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Close-up look of the new Adidas template on Texas A&M. Besides the template, the only change for A&M is the new Adidas logo.

Its a lion in a roundel with a the club name on top. Yea, its pretty damned close.

New badge for Burnley Here is the old one for comparison

Thats my best guess since the only bit of uniform they show is the current uniform sleeve number. They could unveil the 2024 look now, but they would lose out on a whole year of uniform and merchandise sales. Sure, WE know they will look different in 2024, but many more would know if they debut the new uniforms now

Nailed it. If the Texans won anything beyond division titles in their entire existence then the uniforms would be classics that shouldnt be touched. Instead they get called boring as they represent a boring franchise. Maybe some day they'll accomplish something beyond a divisional round playoff exit. But until then, they are just a schedule filler for a national NFL audience.

For a shirt with the schedule on the back? I didnt think those sold well when they were $15 plaint white tees, let alone some "brand name" high end shirt

Who happens to be from Houston. OMG its all coming together! American Bad Ass Texans are on the way!

I hope the football team is able to keep the Lindner Center inspired triangle pattern somehow but I doubt they will while they are using catalogue uniforms for the next few years until Nike can give them a personalized uniform.

I'm not a close follower of Illinois athletics but the football team never seemed to have any sort of strong branding that tied it to the chief or Native American imagery. The basketball team had the chief logo at midcourt so I associated it more with them, but to me Illinois football was always just a bland looking team with an orange helmet and navy jerseys. Basically a midwest Syracuse. Bland can work if your team is winning in it.

Its why A&M is with Adidas. We switched to them in 2007 because they offered way more than Nike would. Nike knows schools want them and they dont need to throw out top dollar to everyone unless the school is delivering for them,

I dont mind the collar logo, but I do feel you shouldnt have it AND a wordmark on your jersey. Pick one or the other. I'm glad teams that have traditionally had wordmarks are steering away from the logo. To me, the purpose of the logo is to help identify what team it is for fan replicas.

I would think so. I'm skimming through the current trademarks associated with the Oilers and nothing seems to keep another Houston team from using those colors. Now, the league may be wanting to protect the Titans ownership of past Oilers history and doesnt want the Texans to get too close to that just to avoid the owners fighting it out.
