Carolina Disco Turkeys? Carolina Disco Turkeys!

Welp, I'll admit that I didn't know that and I'm embarrassed since I live in the Charleston area. I think the Jack Douglas/1990's beat the Gamecocks and Razorback era set was pretty great as well, though maybe incorporate a little bit of gray to help further differentiate The Citadel from Chapel Hill.

If The Citadel wanted to make a move akin to what LSU does, and what Georgia Tech did before Collins took over, they could start wearing white tops at home, at least occasionally, and mimic the cadet attire shown below. A while helmet, white jersey with light blue shoulder stripes to mimic the epaulets (similar to the old Adidas Mississippi State and/or Manizel-era A&M uniforms), and dark pants (not sure if that is navy or grey) with a black stripe to match the cadets would look pretty good IMHO.

We’re going to get a color-on-color SEC Championship game where Bama is in it’s normal home set and the Gators are mono-blue, head to toe, aren’t we?

It would be nice if tOSU had consistency on the home and road jerseys like Florida does (I’m ignoring the orange set). Would be a fun one-off to have a white jersey and pants where the gray striping is swapped out for the white. They could add a gray outer stripe on the whites as an alternative as well and maintain consistency.

South Carolina’s garnet jerseys have been revealed. Not a fan of the striping.

These look like someone in the UNLV athletic department saw Wazzou’s set from last few years and then tried to mimic them in the Nike Custom Uniforms design-a-jersey website. The new numbering looks similar to the “Spartan” font Nike offers in its online DIY catalogue. Anyone know if Nike had much if any creative role in this update?

I think this came up earlier in this thread, but one of the TV commentators in Charlotte's first game against App State was saying that they should've been penalized and lost a timeout in each half because the jerseys violated the NCAA's guidelines on contrasting colors. I think the officials let it slide since Charlotte apparently didn't get their jerseys until right before that first game on 9/12; they supposedly even had to have some of the players' moms helping sew the names on the back because they were so pressed for time. Due to the COVID cancellations and postponements, Charlotte did have 3 weeks between their first and second game so thankfully were able to find the above-noted vendor, who had ample time and did a bang up job remedying the perceived problem with the numbers.

I like how they added double outlines to the numbers so it is still technically green-gold-green and thus technically consistent with with the shoulder stripes.

Just bring back the fantastic Schnellenberger-era set on newer templates, and throw in blue and red helmets if you want, so long as the striping is consistent.

Is Vandy playing a day game? These are going to look awful and illegible unless they are under the lights at night.

Virginia going navy/white/navy as they travel to #1 Clemson in a rematch of the 2019 ACC Championship Game.

As anticipated, South Carolina has updated the striping on the white helmet to match the previously leaked new white jerseys and the fauxback white pants worn initially last season. They’ll get pasted this weekend in the Swamp but at least they’ll look good

Replacing the gold star in a circle with an * as below makes this accurate. I get the recruiting hype train, but how does have 85 different "crests" promote the notion of a "uniform" jersey? And why are they relying on sub-Game of Thrones level "house" logos? Are these going to be helmet stickers? The whole thing is really bizarre and seems to promote individual players over the team.

I agree and strongly advocate for the V-Sabre on both sides of the helmet AND tweaking the jerseys to add a contrasting outline/stroke to the numbers, so an orange outline for the white numbers on the navy jersey, a navy outline for the white numbers on the orange jersey, and going back to orange numbers with a navy outline on the white jersey, like so:

Closer look at Virginia’s updated set that will be on display against Duke on Saturday. Key points: 1) Updated V-Sabre one one side of the helmet, numerals, in the new font and with an outline (unlike the jerseys) on the other; 2) one of the new secondary logos is being used as a helmet achievement decal, which is a first for the program; and 3) the helmet’s back bumper features “VIRGINIA” in the new font.

South Carolina has updated the black helmet and black pants to match last year’s carried over fauxback.

Georgia's throwback white jerseys will only be acceptable if they have the Lindsey Scott-esque tear away sleeve stripes:

Are the Snappers no longer among the 42 MiLB being contracted? I thought they were on one of the lists.

I agree, though my preference would be to use orange-white-green-white-orange or white-green-orange-green-white stripes on all helmets, jerseys and pants, akin to what Florida does.

I wonder if making them smaller would've intensified the perceived legibility problem? I also didn't recall hearing anyone complain about Charlotte's CUSA-mate UAB's similar numbering against Miami. I like Charlotte's new uniforms, outside of the way the helmet stripe tapers on the back. I also think the C-Pickaxe logo would look better if it was outlined thinly in a contrasting color. Interested to see the home jerseys and any other pants/helmets in the new set, as well as if they use the new tertiary logo.

They aren't. Now, if/when they unveil the Beloit Bräts/ Beloit Beer Bräts (umlaut is unnecessary but don't want confusion with the Bratz tween girls toy line) that will be a horse of a different color:

So is there any update on which teams will exist in 2021, in which leagues and with which parent clubs? I saw an Article from Johns Hopkins suggesting, for example, that at High-A Wilmington is moving to the Eastern League, Frederick Is folding, Charleston, Columbia, Augusta and Asheville are joining the Carolina League, amd Daytona and Florida of the Florida State League are folding. Another is somewhat similar but there the Article suggests that the Florida State and California Leagues drop to Low-A, the Sally League ceases to exist and is replaced by a Mid-Atlantic Low-A league and High-A is compromised of Sally-heavy Carolina League (adding Asheville, Augusta, Charleston, Columbia, Greenville, Hickory, Rome, and Tennessee from the Southern League) with only Fayetteville, Winston-Salem and Myrtle Beach as holdovers, along with a revamped Midwest League and Northwest League.

The shoulder stripes on the white jersey don't match the the throwback jersey. The throwback is white-black-garnet-black-white, the new away is black-white-garnet-white-black, an unfortunate reminder of the Brad Scott era.. The only situation where the striping will be consistent on all elements is when the Gamecocks wear the new white jersey, last year's throwback white pants, and the existing black helmet. They could've updated the late 90's black jersey for consistency with the existing black helmet and the new white jerseys and pants, but of course they didn't. The new garnet jersey has white-garnet-black-garnet-white striping, which does not match the garnet helmet, and even worse the new white jerseys and last year's white pants do not match the white helmets. It is a mismatched mess and a huge missed opportunity. This would be have been so easy to pull off (not my original concept or template, just a quick and dirty attempt to show how the matching striping could've worked SO much better): OR
