tron1013 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 If accurate it looks like UVa has switched to orange numbers on the helmet decal to go along with the revised V-sabre, differing from last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barring that, they should at least be consistent with the format of the numbering on the helmets and jerseys. I know they've revised the V-Sabre and the number font, but last year the helmet number matched the jersey number in both color and lack of an outline: If they don't update the 2020 blue jerseys to have orange numbers with a white outline then it will be an unwelcome return to this type of inconsistency they used in 2016, but worse: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have sworn there was a picture of UVA's lockerroom corner where the blue jerseys were hanging with the new number font...and the numbers were plain white... This might have been it...it was a while back... The bevel on the V is really a downgrade. Looked better sans bevel. The rest of the look is pretty great. 2 Smart is believing half of what you hear.

dont care Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I thought Virginia got rid of the squiggle in the sword handles because it represented a wall on campus that was used to hide the slaves that were working on campus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "V" on the 2020 helmet has the new beveling but I don't see any on the accompanying sabre helmet sticker. The updated logo 2.0, without the serpentine wall-esque blade handles, has beveling on the sabre itself (see below) so I'm wondering if they used an old sticker or Photoshop on the helmet shown above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_grateful_ted Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Disappointed Wake took that gate pattern off the shoulder caps, that was one of the classier while still really unique details in a group of (generally) pretty lame/empty modern uniform sets 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is claiming that the black W or dropping (Washington Football Team) will solve everything. The truth of the matter is that these teams aren’t part of the government, and their actions hold no real political power. So when we argue that the actions have no value and won’t contribute to further legislation, it undercuts the real purpose of the change and leaves some mad at the team for something they can’t control. I generally agree with this. A lot of this stuff feels performative right now, and I’m sure a good handful of it will fade away because a lot of these institutions don’t care about anything but lip service at this point. But, while that’s mostly pretty :censored:ty, I do think it does help to shift the long term collective consciousness of the nation. A lot of the excuse I hear from people not paying any attention to this is either “I had no idea how bad it really is.” or, more cynically, “I don’t care how bad it is, and want to be distracted from it with some good ol sportsball.” Now, a patch obviously isn’t gonna [Insert Admiral’s MISSION ACCOMPLISHED MEME HERE] on race relations, it’ll help to educate those who might care, and make it annoyingly difficult for those who don’t care to completely ignore. 3 On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

Swapping the colors would work better, or lessening the amount of white involved. Doing a sleeve stripe like they have done with the helmet stripe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
