Rixaroo Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Man that's bad. The only good part is the white jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webfooter Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 The lack of white on the red and blue jerseys and the helmet logos and the awful number font are probably my biggest issues with the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, when redesigning the football team, look at their other sports that have classic looks. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

kabbey520 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I don't like that there's no white on the red jerseys, no number outline, the number font is terrible, & that the helmet logo is solid. Lateral move at best. Why couldn't we just modernize these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Wolf Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 3 hours ago, Red Wolf said: I'm both intrigued and terrified. Terrified won out. I guess these are an upgrade for Arizona, but almost anything would have been. I'm baffled as to why they're not putting the classic asymmetrical stripes on the white helmet at least, and also confused as to why they're still doing dark numbers with no outlines on dark jerseys. Navy numbers on red jerseys and vice versa do not work, and they especially don't work without white outlines. They didn't work last time and they don't work now.

BenjiJ Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 The white jersey is fine. The blue and red jerseys are a mess. The red helmets are both terrible still. The blue helmet with the all red logo is a downgrade from the past blue helmets. The number font is horrendous and the pants are stripeless and boring. I think that covers it?

Yeah, well they looked fine even in the 2000-2010 era, with the piping what not, it was at least simple. And the Nick Files era look was superb don't question me. But these last 5 years of uniforms, bad. Just bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoknight Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 The only thing that looks good is the white jersey, and even that needs a new font. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF. TITLES | 5th in HEISMAN | 7th in DRAFTS | 8th in ALL-AMER | 7th in WINS | 4th in BOWLS | 1st in SELLOUTS | 1st GAMEDAY SIGN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germanshepherd Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 They should play all their games in all white, it's only combo that looks right color wise. I'll have to see the number font in action before I make a complete judgement, but it ain't looking pretty right now. i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mingjai Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 3 hours ago, dont care said: You also need to account for the quality of camera taking each picture, one being an HD digital camera, while the other is just film that makes photos a lot more washed out. Of course with variables like film stock, lighting, textile all coming into play, it's nearly impossible to determine the difference between colors without having actual samples of the uniforms in hand. While not dispositive, I have a brand-new on-field baseball team hat from the mid-90s and a current Nike on-field baseball team hat, and the current is definitely a shade or two lighter royal than the mid-90s one.

aawagner011 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 The stripes are kinda a step in the right direction but the font is bad and the dark on dark colors are terrible. It wasn't that hard to get this right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont care Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 There is nothing in this uniform that I can say I like. It's all awful, all of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 A lot of people on these boards should be working with Nike's creative teams... and a lot of people working with Nike's creative teams should be fired. Edit -- the same goes to Adidas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFB Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Who the hell at Nike is getting paid to designing these number fonts? Woooooof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikingsNotMinnesota Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Did the designer behind these just forget outlines exist? People use those for a reason dude, it's not just silly tradition/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 MySA.com reported a grad student in media arts came up with this "Victory or Death" helmet for UTSA football this year. Fortunately it's not expected to be worn by the Roadrunners. It's a mix of Notre Dame and Maryland as its a split shell and one side has the Travis letter sent from the Alamo prior to its capture by Santa Ana. It's nice to see more people using Brandon's templates though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the "Foles era" uniforms probably should have still happened. Nike should have made that set exclusive to Arizona for a good 3 seasons before making it available to the general public. Might have given Zona a reason to keep it around longer. Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
