CONTRAST. COLOR and CONSISTENCY. It is wretched when Pitt has a beautiful, bright colored jersey and helmet combo. The panther logo would work if it were blue on the yellow helmet. Since the idea is that they're coming off the work floor of a steel mill it makes sense for how it's designed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razorback447 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Did it bother anyone else besides me that the numbers on Virginia’s helmets are blue outlined in orange while the logo is orange outlined in blue? I guess maybe their thought process was playing off the orange and blue stripes on the helmet but it just looks off to me. The number side feels heavy because it’s blue when compared to all the orange on the other side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I assume they're trying to match the helmet numbers to the numbers on the corresponding colour jersey. The white jerseys have blue numbers, so the white helmets have blue numbers. Same thing with the blue jerseys having white numbers and blue helmets having white numbers. That doesn't explain why the helmet numbers have outlines and the jersey numbers don't though... Also doesn't explain going with a logo on one side and the numbers on the other. Just pick either, don't do both. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pick either, don't do both. I agree and strongly advocate for the V-Sabre on both sides of the helmet AND tweaking the jerseys to add a contrasting outline/stroke to the numbers, so an orange outline for the white numbers on the navy jersey, a navy outline for the white numbers on the orange jersey, and going back to orange numbers with a navy outline on the white jersey, like so: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clintau24 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Saturday was a big day for Auburn uniforms. The Tigers honored the late head coach Pat Dye with a special helmet decal that also appeared on the field (with a solid orange outline, however) Current head coach Gus Malzahn dressed up as Dye for the game, which was really cool And Auburn added a social justice patch to the jersey, the "Auburn Unity" logo that was first announced Sept. 10 with the “Together We Will” initiative, which is set to raise funds to recruit and retain minority students. The patch really got lost on the navy jerseys, and I image the same will happen on the white jerseys this weekend. More information of everything from Saturday on my site: https://auburnuniforms.com/2020/09/28/pat-dye-social-justice-patch-for-auburn-football/ "I believe in Auburn and love it!"

MJWalker45 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 UCF has released their player's personal crests. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_grateful_ted Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I’m absolutely intrigued by that UCF crest thing, being the golden knights thats a cool connection with heraldry right off the bat. It seems like the perfect combo of quirky detail while still being simple enough to comprehend at a glance. Kinda geeking about it, but if I was a player I’d think it was kickass. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tBBP Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Is it the programs themselves...or is it their suppliers?? *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...

I'd imagine if the programs didn't want to do things like this they would say no. In the case of Louisville, the city, Ali has gotten a lot of love since his issues with Parkinson's and after his death. For Pittsburgh, the steel workers have been, for lack of a better word, fetishized for years by every team that plays in Pittsburgh, not just the Steelers.

Replacing the gold star in a circle with an * as below makes this accurate. I get the recruiting hype train, but how does have 85 different "crests" promote the notion of a "uniform" jersey? And why are they relying on sub-Game of Thrones level "house" logos? Are these going to be helmet stickers? The whole thing is really bizarre and seems to promote individual players over the team.
