The Cardinals twitter and website have rolled out their current look for Draft graphics. Still the same colors, wordmark, and logo (albeit with a flex chrome effect, and a reverse ghost version in the background). Even if things are changing, they're keeping tight lips and the status quo, even four days before the suspected reveal.

I wonder if their black alternates were a “trial run” for the 3D decal effect. I really liked how it looked. Wonder if they could do something similar on a lighter shell.

This is my take, too. It's as if they designed the number font before they knew they were changing the logo.

Is it me or are the legs ever so slightly skewed inward?

I wouldn't put too much stock in the yellow-heavy draft cap. Looking at Fanatics, every team has a "Draft" and "Draft on Stage" hat. The "On Stage" hat has the gray crown with the team's nickname in their primary color (except for the Raiders to avoid black clash) stroked in black. The "Draft" hat has the primary-color shell with the name in whatever the team's non-black-or-white secondary color is. The Dolphins have an aqua hat with orange letters, but they certainly don't feature orange that much, so I don't think using yellow as the secondary color for Arizona is necessarily indicative of anything.

I always typed it out as SIUe, despite their guidelines calling for SIUE. It puzzled me that the "e" dominated their graphical branding, but they didn't use it as a unique identifier in all forms. I understand the lowercase giving a sense of "lesser", but embrace what makes your brand different! That being said, this new brand should serve them well. The corporate-y Helvetica "e" felt out of place in the athletic branding.

For an in-house job, especially at a mid-major such as SIUE, this is pretty solid work. I have a little experience with SIUE due to working at a (former) OVC school, and always felt like their SIUe wordmark was more suited for the academic side and never quite worked as athletics branding. I think this is an overwhelming upgrade for the Cougars.

As someone who has been in on the design process of Under Armour uniforms (via a supplier) at a mid-major college baseball program, UA's standard size for front logos is pretty limiting, especially compared to Nike or Adidas. Some premier UA programs, such as Auburn and Maryland, seem to be able to get more substantial logo sizes, but that's something that was not available to us. Canada's uniform also seem very catalog-y design wise – pretty much straight from the new "Thief Faux" jersey option. That makes me wonder if Team Canada didn't work directly with UA to design their uniforms and instead used an UA partner, thus getting a "generic" uniform.

ECU unveiled... these.

New head coach and conference at my alma mater, Austin Peay, and looks like they'll have an... interesting uniform set. The cream and black jerseys, along with the pinstripe and cream pants are holdovers from last year, and the red and gray sets (script logotype designed by yours truly) are new. Seems like they'll have some unconventional combos, like the black jerseys and red pants on the front row.

Fun fact about that red eye: the Ravens usage guide doesn't have a true black-white logo – the eye is always red. Small detail that especially stands out when paired with other one-color league logos or apparel collections.

May just be me, I kind of liked the Goff-era Cal uniformsexcept the pants. I think they were a victim of the Nike Flywire collar, but would look great now on one of the newer templates. They were in a way a precursor to the current Jags uni-set, which I am also a fan of.

Wouldn't be surprised if the inspiration for the overall art-decoish shape was pulled from the architecture around LA.

I didn't say to use the elements from the throwback jersey. I think if you add a single pants stripe and maybe another gold element it would elevate the whole set while keeping it minimal and using the color-blocking to provide contrast and let the colors stand out against each other. If I had to choose one set as-is, I think the current uniform is better than the throwback on Nike's uniform cut.

Michigan staying in the Vapor Untouchable template.

Pants stripes is one of the handful of tweaks that the current set needs to be great – pants stripes, strokes on the numbers, and maybe a little more gold. It's a solid set – the teal pops off the black and white where the old set is more muddy, and the numerals are close enough to block to feel classic, but far enough away to be unique.

Speaking as someone who doesn't have the nostalgia for the '98 or early 2000s set, I agree with @Korkie. To me, the current set is closer to a great uniform than reverting to a throwback would be.

Also, the search function is borderline useless. Can't run searches back-to-back without getting hit with a cool-down timer.

Speaking of Nike templates, it looks like PSU broke out the old Flywire jerseys for this shoot. They moved to the Vapor Untouchable template in 2018.

According to the UA Team Catalog it's the new CompFit 3 template. $228 per jersey vs $260 for the AirVent template used by Auburn and other large programs.

It looks like they just took the same spear from the gold lids and slapped it on a white shell. Seems lazy. This would look so much better if they used a garnet/gold spear instead.

Every clip in the video has block numbers, but the uniform has roman-style numbers. Is this based on an actual uniform or is a "throwback-style" uniform?
