JGR doing a mashup for Bell at Daytona

The new Trackhouse Wendy's car to be driven by Daniel Suárez in the Xfinity races.

Image from last night that nicely shows off the new Toyota and Ford bodies as well as the slightly different black (54) vs grey (22) rims.

The Dollar Tree/Family Dollar schemes are extremely...whelming. Not offensive, not great. Just fine, safe. Wish there was more color, the DT has some green background pattern but is mostly white. The FD has a middle chunk of red but otherwise plain white.

I miss the wild neon and flame days of the 2000s. 

Ricky Stenhouse to have about 47 brands on his car at The Clash this weekend.

FRM announces an extension with Love's to continue being a featured sponsor. 

Joey Logano's 2024 Hunt Brothers Pizza scheme

From an above link, the Giants darker cream home uniform. New on left, old on right. 

The Busch car is everything I want in light color designs. Lots of details, complimentary colors, doesn't feel bland or generic. 

Love the corn texture 7 on the one Brandt scheme. I want to see more creative implementations like that, rather than some basic design like most of the other recent reveals. That white Napa 9 is boring and I'm worried the DollarTree/FD cars will be white with small streaks of color for each brand at best. 

Some more Hendrick schemes. A lot of boring white across the board IMO. 

Byron's Raptor and Axalta schemes dropped today.

Trackhouse has a big deal with WeatherTech, which will serve as Primary Sponsor on Shane van Gisbergen’s 2024 Xfinity and Cup Races

Zane Smith’s Spire Motorsports car for 2024 Daytona 500

Looks like Ross Chastain's new Busch Light scheme got leaked via this bar sign on ebay! 

I would love this to be the one place we go to in order to talk upcoming paint schemes, what's on our wishlist, sponsors etc. 

Here's a few shots of testing at PHX from this week. NASCAR is rolling out the all-new Ford Mustang 'Dark Horse' body, and Toyota has a revamped Camry body. Chevy will still be rocking the 2021 Camaro redesign for 2024. 

I really want the Mankato Mayhem to be a thing but maybe that's best left to an AF2 team somewhere down the road. 

So many beautiful color v color and generally contrasting matchups this week! Some of my favorites:

Nominee for worst of the week: Tulane has amazing colors, logos, and uniforms. These happen to be their worst IMO, which still aren't horrible. UTSA has perfectly fine uniforms (and a fantastic nickname), but I prefer their blue pants over the orange, especially when their white jerseys feature almost no orange. When a school with deep green and powder blue faced a team with navy blue and orange yet most of those colors were relegated to accents, that's disappointing to a uni-nerd like myself. Both schools have many other options that would look better than this. 

My best of Week 12:

Long live color v color in rivalry games

A clean and highly-contrasting matchup

A rare time where I loved OSU's combo!

And the stinker...Rutgers, you are playing the team famous for wearing the same home uniform for centuries, so why would you choose nothing but white and black to matchup with the stadium infamous for wearing white and dark blue? So many Big Ten members wear red, so avoiding it makes sense in many cases. This is NOT one of them.

I'm not saying he's a bad person, but I had a negative experience with him earlier this year. My friends and I run an amateur football team, and we discussed having Dan design a logo for us. Because one of my friends is well-off, the cost would not have been an issue. Anyway, I emailed Dan about our team and asked if he could design a logo for us. He responded a week later, saying that while he has worked with amateur and semi-pro teams, we couldn't afford him. I'm not going to lie, that surprised me. The price and budget were never discussed, and the guy assumed we couldn't afford his services. I emailed him back and asked why he thought we couldn't afford him, but he never responded.

 

We ended up hiring another designer, Skye Dillon, who was extremely gracious and kind throughout the entire process. Yes, it's unfortunate that my experience with Dan was anything but positive, but that's life.

I'm only joining in to second that Skye is incredibly kind and generous with his time. Great guy who does awesome work.

Huge professional upgrade from their previous single logo.

Wow, they absolutely crushed this. Fun word play, character-based, and great looking uniforms. 

TCU has a new helmet with a new version of the blood frog.

Cougs going with a (new?) Wazzu wordmark helmet and all anthracite for Senior Day vs Colorado (hoping CU doesn't wear grey pants or helmets). 

Some of my favorite Week 11 matchups:

What a classic look!

A rare time where all white actually looks fantastic IMO

Using powder blue, dark green, and gold in one matchup feels like cheating.

Two simple but great templates.

The two worst matchups IMO, both feature a few of the 50 shades of grey at home. 

Why WVU went all white against all-anthracite is not for me to say.

Arizona almost saved the day with their generic Dick's Sporting Goods red pants. 

Ohio State going grey this week vs MSU

Marshall with their black tributes to 1970's tragedy

Louisville has new 'Ghost Stories' uniforms that feature glow in the dark details similar to ASU.

Oklahoma going with their anthracite alternates

I'm a sucker for some good contrast. Here are some of my favorite matchups from the week!

Stinker of the week has to be the all-black vs all-white battle. Very odd choice by Arkansas to go completely white knowing Florida was donning the specialty black unis. This matchup could have been saved by red helmets or pants. 

Championship weekend is here! 23XI has a Columbia x Star Wars thing going. Few notable schemes:

All SHR drivers will have a Harvick decal
