  1. Am I doing something wrong when I try to embed a tweet? everytime I think I do it, I end up with this: 

     

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">We. Are. Done. <br>Thank you to everyone for their positive comments, follows, retweets and likes.

    It does look nice! And I agree, certainly a more fitting B10 look. But I will say Michigan looks so good that they can help make just about any uniform match-up palatable. Best uniforms in football. 🙂

    The flag helmets definitely became more palatable to me when they dropped the MARYLAND from the back. looks a lot cleaner that way

    Yeah, I think that was definitely part of the idea behind it. Was very ill-timed though with Texas A&M joining the conference and giving them a uniform with such a similar concept.

     

    Ultimately it all worked out though. Definitely intrigued to see what A&M rolls out this year.

    I've always wondered how those two super similar uniforms came out in the same year

     

    Same here, I really hope they don't dump the racing stripes.

    Interestingly, Mississippi State also wore very similar jerseys, but in the mid 80s (1984 and 1985 to be exact). Emory Bellard was the head coach of both those mid-70s A&M and mid-80s MSU teams, clearly he liked the style.

    I wonder, is that possibly where they got some inspiration for the banner uniforms? Took the racing stripe idea and made it their own since Texas A&M got similar uniforms in the same year?

    Solid looking uniform, but if i recall correctly, Adidas came out with these around the same timeframe they came out with Miss State's "banner"-stripe uniforms.. MSU's single, wide, banner-style stripe looked very similar to what you created here, which is likely why they gave a&m the double-stripe

    Both Miss. State and aTm got new Adidas uniforms for 2012-2013. That was the banner design for Miss. State and the racing stripe look for aTm. @MJWalker45 is correct in that aTm's design is basically a throwback, in this case to the 70's

    Mississippi State unveiled their DWS-100 year anniversary uniforms 2 seasons later and by then those became the full time uniforms and the banner stripe was history. With that being the case, I don't think there would be any issue with adding a stripe to the Aggies' helmets. Maybe to aTm uniform purists maybe.

    Simplify if you must but it would be a great waste to ditch the racing stripes instead of owning them.

    The biggest issue with the entire set is the double stripes on the jerseys but single stripes on the pants

    If they keep the stripes then adidas needs to make different pants that work with every combo. 

     

    Shameless plug as it is, but why couldn't Adidas and aTm do something like this:

    -Add stripe to helmet to match pant stripe

    -remove all traces of the bevels from helmet logos, numbers, pant logos. 

     

    Now there's some level of harmony between all parts of the uniforms (ignore the socks and cleats, that's a holdover from my 72 project).

    I don't think there are beveled fonts on the helmet logo and wordmark...

    There aren't, just on the numbers.  But to add to the problem of bevel vs no bevel, the pants logo features the beveled aTm on the state logo.

    I think Texas Tech's bevel is pretty good and I think is better than the old flat version.

    I have a hat with the Tech logo on it and I don't really have any complaints with how it translated over.

     

    The difference with A&M's logo is that 1) I don't believe Aggie fans really like the bevels, and 2) the beveling on the A&M logo is incorrect.

    All these images are taken from a website called nobevel.com, hence my point about A&M fans not liking the logo.

     

    they have a pretty good argument but they might get more traction if they didn't host it on a mid 90's website. 

     

    but honestly they could drop the bevel elements from their existing uniforms and call it a day. No reason to strip it down past the basics

    This happens several times a day.  I just wait a few minutes and check again.  Beats me.

    I noticed that every time I hit the link to the boards that I had bookmarked it would log me out. But when I navigated to the boards via the mothership home page, nothing changed. I deleted and remade the bookmark and knock on wood haven't had the log out issue in a while.

    While the current color set and uniforms are a great modernization and embodiment of the Seattle Seahawks, there was something truly special about the 2000s blue-grey shade known as "Seahawk Blue." Who agrees?

    While I am a sucker for double blues and a pre-bandwagon Seahawks fan, I hate these uniforms. The previous set had life to it with the logo sleeve stripes and the current set has flair to it. But these suck and i'm not afraid to say it.

    I'm not entirely sure about the Spitfire, but you might be thinking about the Lethbridge Hurricanes because not only did they use the same template, their wordmark logo was very similar to the Capitals wordmark logo.

     

    A lot of junior teams use the same template as a NHL team without issue, but the combination of both the logo and template was a little too much for the Caps liking.

    Throughout their history, Lethbridge has used the Capitals jerseys. they ran afoul of the Capitals when they basically carbon copied their logo.
