I think they should wear white pants for the first two road games and maize for the rest of the season after that. I too like both. The all white is just clean, and white on maize is classic Michigan to me. If they mixed those throughout the road schedule I would be happy. "I believe in Auburn and love it!"

upperV03 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Apparently Ole Miss is upgrading to the Vapor Untouchable template for this upcoming season. The shoulder stripes are back to being shorter, but the number font is no longer condensed anymore as a result. I suspect LSU will follow suit.

WSU151 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I actually liked the longer stripes, as the stripes during the Archie years were long and under the armpit. The new template looks like it brings us back to 90s/2000-era stripe length, which is the best length if they have to be shortened. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 They should be able to place those stripes all the way to the cuff, but I tgink this improves them a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that reason, I think it's a clear upgrade. And I actually didn't think the longer stripes were executed all that well anyways, as the way they were angled on the bottom just looked a bit awkward.

Brave-Bird 08 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I will never understand those who liked the deeper stripes that Nike tried to pull off with LSU and Ole Miss. It simply looks more natural for shoulder stripes to truncate over the shoulder, as football uniforms are over the shoulder now, and not under the sleeve as if there's actually sleeves.

Well, as I said a few pages back about Michigan's white pants, to each his own. Maybe, like B-Moore says, teams should just give up on the old style shoulder loops, but as long as they're still trying to hang on to it, I'll will always prefer this; To me, the cut off stripes are a constant reminder that the design has been tailored to the template, and not the other way around, which is how it would work in my fantasy world. To me, THIS says "our template is more important than your design, so we'll just force your design onto it...

4_tattoos Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Don't know if this qualifies as an unpopular opinion, but I've never liked the cuffs of LSU's jersey being striped. Cuff stripes look best on jersey where there are no stripes on the sleeves or shoulders IMO. Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstein Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 If Ole Miss is going to the Vapor Untouchable jerseys, then presumably, LSU, Duke, and Iowa State, the other Nike schools who wear the same traditional should loops and all got elongated loops a few years ago, will all get the new template. I like the longer stripes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back then, bracketing the TV number with matching stripes was a sharp look... Today, not so much. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good example of how the "spirit" or core elements of a team's identity can be slightly modified over time to keep up with new technology, equipment, etc. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.

If you're suggesting that the shoulder is no longer an option, we're in trouble! I think the real issue is laziness and bottom line.. It's cheaper to manufacture a limited number of templates and pump out tons of jerseys than tailor your operation to each and every team you outfit.. I think a modern version of full shoulder loops is actually feasible, just not worth Nike's time.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
