walkerws Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 The particular shade of brown represents the iconic cesspool that is the MAC.How's the MAC a cesspool? It's not the B1G but that's a good thing. In the MAC you have really good coaches and the football is just as good as anywhere else. Back to BG I'm going to assume they'll have their custom font. Im surprised that they had the duct tape numbers the last few seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrylawless3 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Vanderbilt will likely make an away version of the new home uniforms from last year. I thought they were only supposed to be alternates along with the matte helmet, but they wore that jersey as the home , so I guess they may make an away. (Which BTW I loved that jersey)Vanderbilt will likely make an away version of the new home uniforms from last year.

chrome14 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Word is that Montana might wear this for one game to honor the 20th anniversary of the '95 National Champs.http://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/helenair.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/7/05/705abe46-c90a-5efd-bb3c-9cff2fc1f88b/705abe46-c90a-5efd-bb3c-9cff2fc1f88b.image.jpgAlso, Montana is the next college football game in 2015 (against NDSU bison) on ESPNHope Dave Dickenson shows up. As a fan of the Big Sky conference, he's definitely one of the top ten players of all time in that conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrome14 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 The fear the roo helmet needs to get lost in a hurry as does the trend of asymmetrical helmets across all levels of football. The number on one side, giant poorly placed logo on the other side has never looked good. At the very least it's never looked better than if they had put another logo on the opposite side. Who started this trend? Boise with their huge Bronco head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 At least with that helmet, it originally served a purpose because asymmetry was the theme of the entire uniform. Of course, when they converted that look into a full-time, symmetrical set, the helmet should have been changed to match.

Nike's whole line of Pro Combats in 2010 were based on the same kind of thing; there was a lot of thought put into those designs. ever since then, schools have just copied whatever they liked best and turned them into terrible trends GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Botiger Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 i heard there was a strategic reason he picked brown jerseys, as it was to sort of camoflage the football so that it was harder to tell who was carrying the ball. I don't know if that's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Nike make all of those things available in true catalog it watered down the designs and left the schools picking from the catalog with a lack of cohesion that the original designs had. That and they just really seem to design first and research second now. ie jaws of husky. It's like they have completely new designers/design teams working on their stuff now.

It's like they have completely new designers/design teams working on their stuff now.Thats their business model. The spent a ton of time, design effort and $$$ to promote the pro combat uniform through the rivalry program. That basically stoked the fire for all the non elite schools to jump on the bandwagon and purchase me too uniforms. Obviously nike could not justify the expense long term so they really have to take the iterative cookie cutter design approach but they do a better job of taking pieces from the parts bin and telling their clients they have a unique design better than anyone else. Overall I think nike got exactly what they wanted from the program.The real winner from this whole explosion of cfb uniforms has to be HGI as they basically got free promotion from nike and they don't really have to spend any money on marketing.

(I think in the field between where Anderson Arena and East Hall are now...?)FYI that image is part of a concept set of anime uniforms and helmets I designed, certainly not official and as pointed out not my best Photoshop work. Someone took a photo of my computer screen and that's the image you see there. I also did white and orange jersey and pant sets as well as more orange chrome and a white helmet.
