Clintau24 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Few items yet to be mentioned Northern Colorado has new uniforms Air Force has a 70th anniversary patch to be worn for one game Georgia Southern is going with matte helmets rather than glossy Coastal Carolina isn't afraid to emphasize teal, unlike a certain professional team Texas State has some new secondary marks NC State will be wearing a 125th anniversary helmet decal And, the weirdest of them all, Arkansas State has a (bad) logo to celebrate the anniversary of changing the school's mascot "I believe in Auburn and love it!"

Am i the only one who thinks Rutgers should just depart from black entirely? I don't mind black as a trim color for Rutgers, but all-black uniforms just aren't right. You would think the 78-0 embarrassment last time they wore black would dissuade them from ever wearing them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really should consider replacing their generic block R with that logo full-time. Looks like a generic make-a-team logo you'd see in Madden. I prefer the R, even tho it's a little boring. But it's also simple. It represents their university, clearly indicates who is playing... I'm not in love with the R logo or Rutgers' look in general, but I prefer their standard red/red/white look over the all black look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think both look good honestly (though obviously not in the black disaster they are using the knight logo in currently). I think the knight logo would be good for an alternate red out maybe, but I think keeping the R logo is fine. I prefer the R simply because it's iconic, but I wouldn't be mad if theoretically they switched to the knight full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(sorry) Rutgers had the good luck of being close enough to major markets and the fact that Pittsburgh and Syracuse had already left for the ACC. If either of them had been available we'd see Rutgers in the AAC. I won't complain though, it give the Buckeyes a chance to give multiple players shots at RB and WR.

I think the word "iconic" is being thrown around too loosely for a logo that has only been around since 2001 and a program that isn't exactly Ohio State or Michigan status. Rutgers has worn similar logos on their helmets before: POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I would prefer this look on the Mach Speed or Vapor vs Techfit or Primeweb. It's a simple look though so it's not hard to look good. As far as the helmet logo, I think the Knight should supersede the R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly though, simple is probably the best and more traditional look for Rutgers although all black doesnt really come of as "simple" Cal Bears | Miami Dolphins | Cleveland Cavaliers |@dcjames5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an all black uniform for a team that shouldn't have an all black uniform. You've got bad attempts at chainmail sublimation on both. Both have matte black helmets with the same logo, done up in silver. Sure, there are minor difference in the numbers and striping, but really? That Nike black alternate and Adidas' black alternate are essentially the same concept. They just toyed with it differently. That's why I don't get the shoe company allegiances this board tends to cultivate. Nike, Adidas, UA. They're all following the same trends. All doing the same stuff. The idea that one shoe company's unnecessary all black matte helmeted alternate is good and the other shoe company's unnecessary all black matte helmeted alternate is bad is nonsensical. It's the same crap being pushed by three manufacturers.

WSU151 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 The more I look at it, a non-mirrored chrome red knight decal on that black helmet would have been better. Still would like ti see the red helmets have that knight logo, or a black R. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

They especially look bad when they use the baseball logo on the helmets. I also want to reiterate that I generally don't care for matte helmets. Has it really been ten years since I skipped class to go watch a banner drop at the A-State student union, unveiling the new logo? Oh, God. I'm just thankful that won't be on any uniforms. We already have an awkward looking logo on the jerseys thanks to the Sun Belt Conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same crap being pushed by three manufacturers. I will agree with you that both of the black Rutgers uniforms are rather unnecessary and ill advised, basically recycling a tired, generally poorly executed concept. Rutgers should be wearing red and white with or without black trim on the numbers/R logo. I will say, though, that the Nike version is better executed with the more prominent red striping. It feels more thoughtful at least than the rather plain Adidas uniform. Your larger point still stands though, it doesn't really matter who makes the uniform, if it's good, then fine. If it's bad, then fine, but Nike is just as capable of producing trendy half-baked concepts as Adidas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
