aawagner011 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 These are nice though they look just like those Oklahoma Pro Combat throwbacks from 2009. I like that they made the stripe go through the nose bumper. No clue what's going on with the two tone silver and white mask. With Miami and A&M, I think we've seen a resurgence from adidas. Solid designs with traditional stripes without any stretched out or tin foil looking numbers. For comparison's sake: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cajunaggie08 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Texas A&M will be wearing 1956 throwbacks when they play at South Carolina on 10/1 Here is the inspiration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benpc21 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 ^^^^^I think the two tone silver and white mask is an attempt at the old style single bar masks worn when the jerseys were around. I think you have to see the comparison picture to get that reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clintau24 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 What's with the dot matrix on the crown of the helmet? An attempt to recreate air holes? "I believe in Auburn and love it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to mimick a single barred face mask on today's helmets is pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germanshepherd Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I know they're both throwbacks but they remind me of Oklahoma's pro combat unis. i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This home crimson set was worn in 1999, but the 1999 away set was the same away unis worn in 1998, which had Arial shadow numbers. In 2000, they went the the WSU logo on the helmets, the Broncos-esque striping, and block-shadow numbers on both home and away. Washington State's basketball team used the font shown in the picture above for a number of years. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

keynote Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 15 hours ago, Sk2k said: i think its more about the message and not the actual skyline It's a fine message. But the message is only communicated properly if the skyline is recognizable enough to be iconic. Most cities' skylines are recognizable to their respective residents. But if a skyline isn't recognizable to outsiders, then it doesn't really work as a shorthand representation of the city. I could do a tribute to the NYPD featuring a depiction of the skyline of Staten Island -- but who'd recognize it? Sports logo geeks know that the skyline in the Mets' logo is an artificial composite of buildings from multiple boroughs, but the average non-New Yorker can still pick out the Empire State Building and think "New York City." A Seattle team could put up a nondescript skyline alongside the Space Needle; that would probably be good enough. But I never thought of Dallas as having any landmarks as iconic as the Empire State Building, Space Needle, Gateway Arch, Golden Gate Bridge, etc. Do others disagree?

nuordr Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Does the endzone and helmets suggest all orange? I hope now with their solid colored pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claystation360 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I do like that helmet. it's one of the better VT helmets I've seen in a while and it's actually using school colors. #DTWD #GoJaguars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webfooter Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 For some reason, Arizona State just doesn't look right in all-maroon. They need some more yellow to balance things out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shstpt1 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I'm a huge huge fan of the white vt on the orange helmet. They are the same helmets that they wore last year vs OSU, but with a new logo and stripes. The white helmet is the only one that doesn't fit with the rest of the helmet rotation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goDEVILS Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Here's what will actually be worn for ASU, as it looks like the graphic they had on twitter was done before they made the switch on the helmet. Breaking out the black pitchfork on the maroon helmet, same one they wore for the Cactus Bowl last year. Works with the black pitchfork on the pants, but definitely not my favorite "Maroon Monsoon" uni. Hate that they're wearing white cleats with it...
