martymcfry Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Does every team has to have _F_S? Really, Adidas is getting carried away. Michigan is bad enough with all the road jerseys they make. Can't they leave the last good part about the road uniform alone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlesonicsofsacramento Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 They do look pretty good there. I've never been much of a fan of their away looks -- especially comparing it to their perfect home uniforms. They've tried a lot of different things over the years. Maybe this is them figuring out something that actually works.I still don't know how I feel about the white pants though.I'd be fine with this as a one-off. A "Jim Harbaugh Day" where we wear the uniform of his childhood. But to promote a look we only wore from 1974-1976 (throw in 1973 and 2011 if you're counting white-on-white in general, albeit different designs) to our full-time road uniform purely because of our first year head coach's nostalgia? Nah thanks. I can only hope we switch back to maize pants with Jordan Brand in 2016.

Nah thanks. I can only hope we switch back to maize pants with Jordan Brand in 2016.Yeah I was thinking this would just be an alternate but I haven't really heard anything suggesting otherwise. It's a good look but it doesn't scream Michigan without the maize pants. Jordan really is in a good place with this deal. They are inheriting the best home uniform in college football -- it's so iconic that they can't make any changes to it if they wanted to. They need to turn the focus on this away set. If they can find a way to nail the road uniform, they could really be making a tremendous first impression to other schools and potential clients.

ThePeam Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Even as an Ohio State fan, I must admit those new Michigan road uniforms are gorgeous. Probably my favorite college football uni change this off-season and surprisingly the manufacture of the uniforms is Adidas, of all people. I can't wait to see Michigan roll up to Columbus in a couple years in those. Actually I hope Michigan will have switch to Nike by then.

j'villejags Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I posted this over in the Michigan to Jordan thread but thought I'd cross-post it here as well. I mocked it up to show what the Jumpman might look like on a football uniform. My NFL concept series (in progress) --ATL, CLE, NE, WAS done. AZ updated 04/21/23.

CLEstones Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I'm sorry... but why does UnderArmor get a free pass for some of these uniforms? It seems like the general feeling is "Well its not as bad as Adidas' 1-offs." But I'm looking at this Notre Dame uniform... and its just as bad as anything Adidas has come up with. I wholeheartedly disagree. I really like this UA set for ND. For a one-off, it's a nice design (aside from the two-tone facemask). They are extremely conservative on the regular ND unis, so I don't see a problem with them going outside the box with a one-off set.That's all fine and well... Primaries are conservative so the alternate is liberal. But that doesn't excuse the lousy look. The green pants isn't ND. But the gold helmet, the terrible head logo, the slashes, it just doesn't look good... At least not for ND. There is an art form to doing alternates. Just because you want to go outside the box doesn't mean is has to look bad. You can still stay true to a schools legendary look without butchering it all to hell.

STL_ArchMadness Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I really like the guns on the side, but I think they're gonna look a lot worse on Revo Speed helmets that don't have as much flat space on the shell.Also, I don't know if it's been talked about yet, but apparently that black Ohio State jersey is the real deal http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/98633-2014-nfl-concept-expansion-series-dallas-cowboys/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the helmet is cool though. They should add NWOSU or whatever abbreviation they use to the crossed guns and that'd be a solid permanent helmet logo.

hormone Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I'm surprised that society will allow those guns on that helmet.Also, am I the only one who finds it odd when jumpman is on baseball and football gear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BucksFan5 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Ohio state will get rid of the 7 buckeye leaves on the back of their jerseys and will add Buckeyes to the back instead. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStoicPaisano Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Downgrade. They used the 8 Buckeye leaves on the shoes released earlier this week so not sure why they couldn't put them on the collar. Nothing special about that wordmark, either.
