The UT (yes, actually called "UT", not me shortening the term "untouchable") appears to have fewer seams and could be it.. Might be the UT, but not Vapor Varsity or Vapor Untouchable.. All are marketed separately as different templates from the Vapor Untouchable, so it's one of the 2, but definitely not the untouchable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sleeve cap should line up with the inner-most portion of the cuff, and currently it does not, which looks bad imo The first go-round at single manufacturer resulted in many design differences for various positions, and those were manufactured by a company who does the full-custom thing. This go-round, with a single template (unless the team opted out of it), has resulted in much better uniformity across positions, which is a step in the right direction to me. I’ll gladly sacrifice a completely custom build for players who look more similar, especially knowing that there are several ways to modify the base template with shoulder inserts, side panels, stripes, etc. I think the Panthers’ approach is simply not the best way to execute that type of stripe.

I can't imagine sublimation looking professional at all - and can you even do it on a black jersey? Printing the stripes, or making them some flexible / stretchy rubbery material that's heat-pressed on might work though. Not sure if that would cause stripes to fly off when a guy is tackled tho. 99% of sublimation starts with white fabric. There are limitations to it, though. Its resolution is quite dependent on how open and/or lofty the weave or knit is, and matching the sublimated colors to dyed fabric can be difficult because of the differing print processes. That is to say, your sublimated black may not match your black fabric very well, which looks as bad as it sounds.

IMO there’s never been a better football uniform, from either form or function perspectives. GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangefaniniowa Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 13 hours ago, PaleVermilion81 said: That would look so ugly (in my opinion and no offense intended). We already saw a similar attempt in the Ravens one off with the gold pants. The shade of gold wouldn't matter. Black helmet, teal jersey, gold pants (any shade of gold) would instantly be the ugliest uniform on the field. Yet the Ravens looked a lot better with gold pants compared to the mono black or the black leotards they consistently wear. I think if teams have gold as a color they should at least match the color as far as their pants or maybe as an alternate jersey color. Teams like the Packers, Steelers, Saints, the throwback Rams uniforms etc have looked tremendous with gold pants with both as a home and away set. I think the Jaguars can do the same as well, besides it just dull and predictable with all white all the time, and I am never going to be a fan of it.

The Ravens did not look better than the mono black. They looked the worst they ever looked when they broke out the gold pants. I understand we're arguing over opinions here, but teams look terrible when they have 3 different colors for their helmets, jerseys and pants (note: I mean dark color jerseys, not white away jerseys). Those other teams you mention look good because either the pants or the jerseys match the helmets in those instances so there is color balance. And even in the cases of teams like the Steelers when they're away so the colors go Black/White/Yellow, the jersey and helmet still have strong color balance due to so much yellow still being used. Having a black helmet, teal jersey, and gold pants would look flat out terrible and they'd be widely mocked for having such a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I am a huge fan of the font the Jags use now. Not so much the logo at all, but it's fine. Black matte helmet, no teal pearlescent gimmick crap. They don't need to make huge changes, but they do need to make sure it's not disjointed in the end.

Lights Out Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I still think the Jaguars look wrong with any pants other than black. Like the Ravens, they should be wearing black pants with all of their jerseys. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagAaron33 Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 Disagree on the black pants all the time. If there's one consistent thing they need to keep, it is the teal away numbers. That carries over that classic team mojo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyersfan Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I just complain that teams can’t all look the same but different colors. There is no point in these forums if every team is a carbon copy of each other. Some teams like the 49ers who have a long history should be keeping their basic look. But a team like the jaguars are establishing an identity right now, so they should be creative with it. I’m not saying be buccaneers overboard but not every team can look the same. Do I think the current look is perfect? No, but a few tweaks (mainly the helmet) and it’s better than if we just went back to the 95-96 unis. There just needs to be a difference between teams outside of colors and helmet logos. I argue the font needs to be not block, because it is one part of a uniform you can be creative with and not hurt the overall design entirely. It doesn’t have to be extreme but just don’t be simple and “traditional” because you are the most modern new identity besides the Texans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd be the worst combination they could put together with their current colors. They work well as complimentary colors with the black, but not both together. Black, Teal and White jersey option.

WavePunter Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Turns out I may have been mislead by the way Nike markets their various Vapor Untouchable templates.. In several places, they only call the standard "vapor untouchable", but they call all the other modified versions "vapor UT".. Got access to a team catalog, and in there, they're all called "vapor untouchable", so I stand corrected.. It appears it is a modified untouchable, just marketed as UT everywhere I've seen previously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
