I'm going off of what Sisdog said about it referencing 5 Star Generals. I have no clue what it actually is. I could see a world where they retroactively justified it by looking to military rankings but don't know.

Not what I said at all, really don't know how you got there. The same word is used for a military rank and the leaders of the team. I'm sure they worked backwards from that, read up on other military ranks, and justified their dumb system with that.

Team "Captain" is a military rank. Makes sense that they'd reference military rankings when making the decision on how many stars to put on the patch. I don't think anyone at any point was insinuating that playing football is the same thing as being in the military.

I was just made aware of this very useful tool in Photoshop. I won't get to use this much with my work, but immediately thought of this thread. Hope it helps. Video and instructions below. https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/how-to/match-font-image.html

Had to watch those last couple innings from 2016 after they tore it all down. Always brings back the same emotions. Baez, Bryant, and Rizzo are and always will be Cubs. Even if they win more rings, nothing compares to that Series and the historic aspect of it.

I lived in WI for a year or 2 when I was really young and was TERRIFIED of Snappy. Coincidentally, 25 years later I moved back to Wisconsin a few months ago. One last chance to confront my fears....Snappy I'm coming for you.

I'm not sure if it's the facemask color or the chin strap color but I really like the old Cyclone helmets better. Might also have something to do with the bumper logo.

If I'm understanding this correctly, you could easily just put the logos on different layers and hide the ones you don't want. Use folders to get it tidy. Not a drop down menu, but I'm not aware of photoshop having that kind of capability.

This is off topic, but I was unaware of black squirrels association with Kent State and went down a rabbit hole on them. My lifelong best friend was named after a family friend of his dad's who allegedly was responsible for introducing black squirrels to Iowa. It was always a quirky story that he told a lot and he just found his namesake funny. Turns out, not true at all and not really a unique story either. I probably should keep it to myself and let him keep the story lol

I'm still not over them changing from this set to this:

RE: ISU's new patch https://news.sportslogos.net/2020/09/01/iowa-state-cyclones-to-wear-jack-trice-uniform-patch/college/ Couldn't agree more. I love the subtlety and design-adds to the uniform without text or unnecessary logo repetition in a lot of anniversary patches for example. It gets a little cluttered with the nike logo, the Big12 logo, and collar logo, but all in all I love it. The fact that the Jack Trice story isn't more widely known is a shame (as is that Jack Trice Stadium is the only D1 stadium named after an african-american). They DID try to create a Jack Trice style throw back in 2013. Not really a fan. Might be cooler if they implemented them into shoulder stripes instead of just trying to throw back. (EDIT: I realize now that they mention these in that article).

ahh i see. good find!

so if he never wore that uniform, where is that picture from? Is it a photoshop or a preseason game or something?

or maybe the people here don't give enough credit to the non-uniform obsessive's taste. Just because the general public isn't on a board obsessing over uniform changes, they still might appreciate good uniform design. Really sick of the generalization. Uniforms can be unique or full of personality, and people can like them without being the stereotype implied with that emoji. It's just a dumb dig and criticism at the general public at this point, used by people who care about uniforms to try and elevate themselves higher than the public. I think Maryland has done a great job at making A their identity and I'd like to see that or D continue on. Really dislike B and C, but A is unique and gives a little personality to the team.

I think that should go in this thread can't disagree with you though! glad he only ever played for the Twins.
