The "V" on the 2020 helmet has the new beveling but I don't see any on the accompanying sabre helmet sticker. The updated logo 2.0, without the serpentine wall-esque blade handles, has beveling on the sabre itself (see below) so I'm wondering if they used an old sticker or Photoshop on the helmet shown above.

100% agree. Barring that, they should at least be consistent with the format of the numbering on the helmets and jerseys. I know they've revised the V-Sabre and the number font, but last year the helmet number matched the jersey number in both color and lack of an outline: If they don't update the 2020 blue jerseys to have orange numbers with a white outline then it will be an unwelcome return to this type of inconsistency they used in 2016, but worse:

If accurate it looks like UVa has switched to orange numbers on the helmet decal to go along with the revised V-sabre, differing from last year.

Ehh... agree to disagree.

That's a good point and I admit that I missed the sleeve stripes when I first saw the BC jerseys. Still think they look a lot better than the SCAR offerings from UA.

Comparing them to these solid BC throwbacks really reinforces how badly Under Armour phoned in the South Carolina faux backs/updated 2020 jerseys.

That's actually ESPN's highly advanced, "Inception"-esque neurotechnology which gives a direct view in the minds of Trevor Lawrence and Travis Etienne, both of whom were daydreaming about the 2019 CFB title game while they were getting pasted by LSU in the 2020 CFB title game.

The garnet jerseys don't match the garnet helmets (or the striping on the white helmets or the white pants, which are inexplicably different), just as the black faux backs don't match the black helmets. Mismatching, jumbled mess.

Not a fan of mismatched striping and use of “CAROLINA” unlike the black faux backs.

If Under Armor terminates the balance of the ten year, $7.15m/year per annum deal with South Carolina running through 2026 I suspect the Gamecocks want Nike over Adidas but aren’t even thinking Jordan brand. Plus, if Nike is going add a Palmetto State-based team to its Jordan cadre, it will be Clemson (which is in a different division than UNC so would not be minimizing the brand’s cache within the ACC FB setup too much). Many Gamecock fans would welcome having Nike handle all sports unis over UA.

Probably photoshopped but still a better look at what UVa’s set will look like with the updates:

Clearer picture:

Football jersey looks pretty much the same. The MBB jersey seems to have switched to blue numbers.

“Since A&M is dropping bevels let’s adopt them, and also use a Ninja Gaiden motif.” -UVA Consultant

There’s also the issue that pops up when schools retire a jersey in honor of former player and actually take that number out of circulation, as opposed to continuing to use it but having honorary patches on a current player’s uniform.

What’s worse is that they could’ve just called the Houston team the Wildcatters and kept the same oil industry logo/motif and then come up with a non-generic Be for LA.

Yep:

The Grand Junction Rockies are NOT pleased with the fan petition to rename the team.

Ballpark Digest has an article on possible team names for the relocating PawSox. Go Worcester Worcesters!

Tampa Tarpons have been revealed,

I thought for sure that the Gwinnett Stripers name change created the most significant potential for embarrassing on-air reporting mishaps in all of MiLB. Thank you, Tampa Tarpons, for proving me wrong.
