Looks MILES better. Also FAU needs to just stick with the white helmet from here on out. I like how they added double outlines to the numbers so it is still technically green-gold-green and thus technically consistent with with the shoulder stripes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the company that tackled Charlotte's jersey number changes. It almost looks like they just slapped a green layer on top of the existing gold/green number 5 "I believe in Auburn and love it!"

And if not...you mean to tell me no one thought to check with the NCAA to see if the (re)design was compliant before unveiling them in the first place? And did they not learn from Florida State's blunder five years ago? (Speaking of blunders...yeah. I still don't know how that one got past the NCAA compliance people.) 1 *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably got the go ahead and then the NCAA realized the gold wasn't as dark as it needed to be. Seeing as Bethune Cookman and other FCS teams have gotten away with numbers that are the same color as the jersey with a wide outline as their attempt top make them readable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this came up earlier in this thread, but one of the TV commentators in Charlotte's first game against App State was saying that they should've been penalized and lost a timeout in each half because the jerseys violated the NCAA's guidelines on contrasting colors. I think the officials let it slide since Charlotte apparently didn't get their jerseys until right before that first game on 9/12; they supposedly even had to have some of the players' moms helping sew the names on the back because they were so pressed for time. Due to the COVID cancellations and postponements, Charlotte did have 3 weeks between their first and second game so thankfully were able to find the above-noted vendor, who had ample time and did a bang up job remedying the perceived problem with the numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I don’t know if the NCAA requires pre-screening uniforms for compliance. I know we do so as a courtesy to the schools (definitely cuts down on headaches and is one less thing for a busy staff to worry about), but I think some tend to treat it as a “it’s better to ask for forgiveness, not permission” situation. 1 I still don't have a website, but I have a dribbble now! http://dribbble.com/andyharry [The postings on this site are my own and do not necessarily represent the position, strategy or opinions of adidas and/or its brands.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like it would have been easier to go without names on the back of the jerseys for week 1. Truth be told, names on the back of jerseys is one of those unnecessary things in sports we've been trained to accept. 1 Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clintau24 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Can't speak on the current "NCAA approval process for jerseys," but an old interview with the Under Armour designer that created the failed South Carolina Wounded Warrior jerseys stated that they send a few samples to the on-field officials to test out. One official said he makes his wife stand in the backyard wearing the jersey to see if he can decipher the numbers from afar. It's a good interview.

Idaho should dump the old gold and go with the athletic gold. Though I'm not sold on the grey facemask here.

SSmith48 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 UNLV released a new set of uniforms featuring an eclectic collection of helmet options. Digging the helmet choices, especially the metallic red and gray (they match the flashiness of LV), but can't help but feel that they uniforms are a worse recolor of their previous set: Previous uniforms for comparison: And these make me somewhat nostalgic for this set for reasons I cannot explain: 1 Visit my website at SSmith Designs (google.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new numbering looks similar to the “Spartan” font Nike offers in its online DIY catalogue. Anyone know if Nike had much if any creative role in this update?

WSU151 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 The satin red UNLV helmets were better than the new ones. Don’t like this update... it’s not crazy cool and really, it’s just not needed. 1 Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.
