My senior year of high school I decided to use metal tipped screw ins. Honestly the only time I needed to change them out was for only one game on a rainy day where I needed to put in some extra long cleats. Besides that the metal tips held up the entire season. Pretty sure they cost more than the regular screw ins of the time though. Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoknight Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Whenever I make a custom player on NCAA 12, I always pretend he has metal screw-in cleats. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.

Number don't is very wonky, will have to see it in game to see how it looks on different numbers. Gold pants don't match the helmet. Pants should have stripes. I'd give it a 7/10. I agree with all of your points-- but i end up giving it like a 5 out of 10, because of all of those points, haha. some of those things-- the pants without stripes, the mismatching golds, they just seem like obvious fixes, no idea why Pitt didn't do that. the number font is indeed very very strange, i am hoping that they at least serve a functional purpose and are legible from a distance, but aesthetically, they look really messy.The helmet is just so beautiful, it's a shame that it goes to waste here. fix the numbers, fix the golds, and make the pants a simplified version of the arm striping, and you have a strong 8/10 uniform here. until then, this uniform is just going to bother me. hopefully it's like Purdue and they just change it again next season.

I will miss the old logo though. It was so early 2000s, but I have a certain nostalgia for it, and I loved their old uniforms. New ones are a class act though, I'm really happy they didn't try to look like oregon. It says something that an FCS school can get right what so many Power 5 schools get wrong. This isn't a nike problem, this is a school problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totems!! Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Going to miss the old Biker Viking but I guess he's a bit outdated and everyone has to go to Valhalla in the end. That being said the PS logo is unique but not totally onboard yet but I do like the new Viking secondary logo which was posted on another thread. Upgrade overall in my opinion.

Clintau24 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Odd, Portland State's website says to come back Monday for all the photos and a new website...not a great way to do that... New viking logo I like the new PS logo, but don't think it fits very well on the helmet. The video linked above briefly talks about some of the inspiration for the new PS logo, including the hull of a viking ship, the Runic alphabet, and a few other things.

4_tattoos Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Wish Portland State would have ditched black with the rebrand. Always felt that their shade of green is too dark to be paired with black. Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Is that a custom font, or has Nike used that before? http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Pinstripes Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 On 5/20/2016 at 0:15 PM, Ted Cunningham said: Hell, this WVU fan likes it, even. What I don't like are the numbers on the new uniforms. Even though it provides some consistency with the sleeve stripes, double outlines or separated outlines (where the first stroke is the same color as the background; I'm going to call it "separated" for simplicity's sake) are, 99% of the time, an awful idea. Plus, the numbers themselves are just oddly shaped. They kind of remind me of Tennessee's last Adidas numbers. Curved on the insides and straight-angled on the outsides. But my biggest gripe is the the total lack of striping consistency across the uniform. White stroke on a blue stripe on the helmet, separated strokes on the sleeves and numbers on the jersey, and then no stripes (???) on the pants. It'd help immensely if the pants had stripes to match the helmet (not unlike the previous version--not an exact match, but the same idea). It looks very disjointed. All they really had to do was just put stripes on the previous set and harmonize the golds a little. Old: Proposed: I don't disagree with you, but if Pitt wanted to go with another blend of the old and new, I have another idea. In the mid 80s, the script appeared on the jersey sleeves, but sleeves were much shorter in that era. At times, the sleeves went down to nearly the elbow, allowing for much more room for stripes and/or logos. Older fans may remember Nebraska had their "N" on the sleeves in the early 80s. My suggestion to improve the bland pants set with Pitt's new uniforms is to place the script on the hip area, plenty of room for the same size of logo which is on the helmet.

Players' reactions are all the same across schools. College kids like new stuff. Never seen a team boo new uniforms, no matter how bad they look. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aawagner011 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Inspiration and full number set. While I don't love the new numbers, I do think they're ok and I like the double outline since it reminds me of the Fitz drop shadow style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
