SmackNCheese 386 Posted July 2, 2017 Toledo with the new Nike uniforms. Where to begin? Generic, templated striping pattern, "word stripe" on pants, GFGS, and they retained their horrendous gradient helmet. Their previous uniforms were nothing too special, but they looked respectable, not like some low-level FCS team. Previous uniforms (Under Armour) for comparison: 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, that is a clear downgrade. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

walkerws 510 Posted July 3, 2017 Toledo changing last minute might have been a reason for the quick templates roll out as well. They could've just gone back to the old Nike uniforms that they had. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even your example has the stripe not going around the arm hole but instead going into the armpit. It's great in theory, but in practice it would either A. Look bad, or B. Be too expensive. I disagree.. The different cuts typically refer to the sleeve only, which shouldn't affect the body.. The shoulder loops would be located in the body area adjacent to the sleeve seam, which is actually their natural location.. You only need to make the new pattern (or figure out how to recreate the look) once per size, then you've got all you need.. The cap sleeve (as shown in the photo) is the source of all issues regarding traditional jersey elements, and one of the primary reasons is the fact that the cuff is partially on the jersey body, rather than entirely on the end of the sleeve.. That's the reason the loop is just going into the armpit, but in this case, it almost works better that way.. If I can find a way to fix the issue on the most difficult sleeve cut, the others should be even easier.. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clintau24 1,536 Posted July 3, 2017 It's hard to tell on the photo given, but it looks like Toledo chose the dot matrix/fade stripes that Arizona used to wear (and we would all prefer over their current set). It's one thing to pick uniforms out of a catalog, but Toledo picked uniforms out of a nearly 10 year old catalog. That's just lazy and incompetent. My hope is, as mentioned previously, that they settled for these because of the quick turnaround. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it just doesn’t look right when it’s done that way. 1 hour ago, upperV03 said: UCLA is changing the script on the helmet to light blue now as well.

pianoknight 2,991 Posted July 3, 2017 UCLA needs to be owning that lighter blue like UNC owns their powder blue or Texas owns burnt orange. It's such a classic look, UCLA has no business wearing navy. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Webfooter 947 Posted July 3, 2017 When is the last time UCLA didn't have navy on their away jerseys? I've gone all the way back to 1970 and there's still navy shoulder loops. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
