Kappa was the most high-profile practitioner. It's come back in a big way, and needs to stop. Can't recall any manufacturer eliminating logos from the sleeves after adding them. The only recent change has been umbro adding that stupid script on the sleeve. It's not something I particularly like either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Watching Argentina vs Chile. It's interesting that the only Nike team with custom numbers other than USA is Chile. They also have the numbers above the crest on the shorts. I'm also glad the adidas teams ditched the giant numbers on the shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Looks like Chile is repurposing Brazil's 2014 WC number font. Weird considering all other teams received the same Nike font aside from the US (who underwent an entire brand overhaul, including fontwork). That's understandable for the US...but to recycle old designs seems strange. It's similar to how the Miami and Virginia Tech became mainstream for lower tier colleges, but even more bizarre given that Nike is issuing everyone else a brand new font. Chile didn't need to borrow from Brazil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berlin Wall Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Did Adidas ditch the huge numbers? Germany had them last week. I'm a simple person, I have a pixelated David Beckham as profile photo since 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the huge numbers are only on the shorts of the away kits due to them not having stripes along the sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendocfc Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Apparently in line with adidas "casual" theme for change tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berlin Wall Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Best Bayern away kit ever. It's the third time in a row that they use some kind of grey though. I'm a simple person, I have a pixelated David Beckham as profile photo since 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we'll find out when Colombia plays in their home kits. I thought Argentina had the larger numbers on their shorts, or is that only the black shorts? Also, Not sure why Chile couldn't wear white or blue shorts instead of red. I like their RBW combo the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a huge fan of sidepanels that match contrasting sleeves. But other than that, I like it. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Depends how/if they continue onto the shorts in my opinion. Other than that it's a pretty inoffensive shirt if you ignore what has already been said about the new crest.

upperV03 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I don't have any pictures, but Colombia is combining the white shorts from their navy blue away kit, with a recolored logo and the 2014-15 Adidas number font, with their new white home shirt with the standard crest and the 2016 Adidas number font. Looks terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berlin Wall Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 This is the kind of confusing stuff African teams do all the day. Wouldn't expect that at the Copa though.

A lot of the "teamwear" contracted Adidas teams tend to have these inconsistencies I've noticed. UBI FIDES IBI LUX ET ROBUR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabcake Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Seeing it on TV, the US's black unis look really, really good. I'm not a fan of the outline on the back numbers, but there's something about that red outline against the black uni that makes it look good.
