TGroce Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Seems odd that UNC is getting another uniform redesign after only a couple seasons. Makes me wonder if the current set was so unpopular that people within the AD and football program wanted it changed.The entire athletic department is going through a visual identity rebrand in 2016, and the football team for whatever reason is jumping the gun a season early. Probably because of what you were thinking.Source??Inside Carolina messageboard, I don't have any type of official release to share unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicklas Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Not a fan of Army's new logo. Granted, a conceptor designed a very similar logo here the other day, but it just seems so generic and bland for a historic school like Army-West Point. A spartan helmet for Army? Cadets? West Point? I don't see it. The Black Knight logo was a good one, in my eyes, but I see the reason to move on from it. The typeface looks great and is very in-line with the history of Army.Side note, check out the video of the reveal. They have distinguished men and women from the Army, current and past, reciting a Douglas MacArthur quote. And then they throw in Nike's VP/Creative Director to finish off the quote. And this flew all over me. Talk about Nike wanting their mark on EVERY THING. Truly disgusting in my opinion.I like the logo but do agree that the Spartan helmet is confusing. I posted it in the other thread but it right away reminded me of Michigan State, especially since they use a gold/bronze version of their logo sometimes now.

MJWalker45 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Helmet, sword and shield have been part of West Point from the beginning so it's not a new logo, more of a redesign. I'm disappointed to see the USMA crest removed from the sleeves but since it will be replaced with unit patches it's a lateral move not a downgrade. I'm guessing last names will return to the right chest. It doesn't seem to me that the football uniform changed that much. The font is different and THE CORPS is no longer on the back bumper. I also like the move over to the Mach Speed template which would probably have happened even without the rebrand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djam2410 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Apparently Army has rebranded itself as "Army West Point" . They are still the Black Knights according to this tweethttps://twitter.com/GoArmyWestPoint/status/587816310823718914In an even funnier twist to this rebrand, apparently they changed their Twitter name to "GoArmyWestPoint" from "ArmyAthletics" ; Some random Navy fan swooped in and took the name and now has "GoNavy" as the twitter display name.

thepablo21 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Newest UNC video with a little clearer look at the uniform. Looks very clean, argyle perhaps on the pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clintau24 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Navy had a lot of fun with the Army rebrand last night. They were RTing fans joking on it. This was easily the best part of the night "I believe in Auburn and love it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbannon92 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Newest UNC video with a little clearer look at the uniform. Looks very clean, argyle perhaps on the pants.Yep, looks like plain helmet, numbers on the sleeves, argyle on the pants. Emphasis on Carolina Blue and white with (hopefully) navy trim. Me gusta mucho. Nike + CFL 2015 | 2015-16 NBA Concepts | Complete College Football Redesign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webfooter Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 So it looks like the only real design detail on UNC's new uniforms will be the argyle pattern on the pants. Seems like Nike is going the "less is more" route for a lot of these rebrands, save for TCU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guest23 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 So the bold modern unc redesign will go down as a failure on all levels. I guess adding black and a dozen combos did not score the recruits as hoped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tBBP Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 That panther actually did go through some revisions a few years ago.And speaking of schools that could probably use an identity refresh...(As long as Nike's not doing it.) *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSU151 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Yeah, Pitt's AD last October switched from the block-capital arch mark to the old-style cursive mark, and said the change would be permanent for the football team. Kinda surprised we don't see the cursive Pitt on that shirt. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
