shaydre1019 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 OH MY GOD ADIDAS STOP PLEASE I BEG YOUMiami's nameplates are actually unreadable The idea to use the school's wordmark to create a font for player names is not an unreasonable one (or even a new one). The problem, in this case, is that Miami has some really awful wordmarks:I wonder, in its style guide, if the university delineates which letters are supposed to be upper case and which are supposed to be lower case. The best execution of this idea would have been to put every letter in lower case, like the "miami" wordmark: Honestly that wordmark isn't perfect but it's not bad. Fits with the logo. It's also a Nike designed wordmark that looks sleek. The nameplate letters are adidas version of that font they look silly. I don't think the Nike font would look great for nameplates but it would look better than adidas, especially considering the process/materials Nike uses.

fufkin Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Is this a temporary artificial surface in Houston? I thought the Texans had grass but this definitely looks fake.The artificial surface is a million times better than the garbage the Texans play on. The grass is a tray system, basically an NBA floor made of grass. The trays lock together, but the grass is uneven and there are seams. It was a contributing factor in both Jadaveon Clowney and Wes Welker's knee injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTrainGBR83 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 For me, BGSU ruined the debut of their amazing alt helmets with ugly uniforms. Don't like shoulder caps and the thin text down the leg looks bad.Also, I wish VT would've gone with orange pants tomorrow. I like their helmet and think orange-maroon-orange would've been a great look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frosty06306 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 NC State - Troy was a pretty good looking game. The primeknit really doesnt stand out on the Red or White uniforms for State, just kind of gives it a nice texture look to it. They're wearing black though next week and the pattern really stands out on those as we all know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Miami used to have a good NOB font that hinted at their wordmark/number font without being unreadable:I'd ask why Adidas wouldn't just use that, but it's Adidas, they clearly want their uniforms to be as visually unpleasant as possible.

WSU151 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I'm not sure how that NOB font hints at the number font...but it was better than the current disaster. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 It seems like adidas has somehow distorted Miami's numeral font, too. Seems overly bold now.

doctorpeligro Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 3 best uniform match-ups yesterday:Alabama vs WisconsinI was at the game, rooting for my losing alma mater, and Alabama looks way classier than we do.The majority of the perennial football powers in our region do NOT put their primary logos on their helmets:Ohio StateMichiganPenn StateNotre DameNebraskaI would contend that Wisconsin should go retro and also take the primary logo off the helmets. Save the Motion W for the sideline wear. Make these the primaries next year when we switch to Under Armour: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrosby Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 This is Cardinal. Wisconsin should make the move to this color with a switch in apparel company. I would love for this to be the uniform they go to, even a slightly modernized version with a larger W. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_tattoos Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Looks like Ohio State has gone back to the classic sleeve stripes full time! Part of me hopes Nike allows there other contracted schools to use the Buckeyes previous sleeve striping... Marshall would be my ideal candidate to takeover that look.
