College Football 2020

I Like the Florida set a lot.  It’s odd but just... pleasant to look at I guess. Hopefully it’s a sunny day so we can get a clean look at it!

How will the QB know where his WRs are?

Oh no... this is bad... we have reached full on camo. This is just flat out bad.

 

At least when Army did it, it made sense. And it was somewhat better than what the Hoosiers will wear:

The #7 Cincinnati Bearcats looks poised to break out red alternates in the coming weeks, perhaps this weekend against Memphis? 

 

Follows the department’s aesthetic of standard black and white sets with “Cincinnati” across the front and red alternates with “Bearcats.”

I was quite partial to these.

Those were definitely much more tasteful. Minimized the camo and less strain on the eyes.

Only the service academies should be allowed to wear camo, anything else is just fake patriotism.

It's a night game, so we won't see it in sunlight. I think they'll look good, but I prefer the white helmets to the blue.

As a Penn State alum, I was hoping to be avenged for the heartbreaking loss to the Hoosiers. Now with this, I hope they get demolished so these things never see the light of day again.

If those pants don't work out for football, your idiot cousin Travis can wear them as sweatpants while he makes plans to kidnap a governor.

I'm fine with other schools wearing camo, but it needs to be used sparingly, like as a helmet or sleeve stripe. Did they say what the gold stars represent? I'm guessing they'd be for Indiana students killed in WWII? That's the only reason to use a gold star, but it shouldn't be used in that manner. Instead it should be used like the blue star/gold star designs instead of that gaudy shoulder design:

This feels like a good time to bring up the OG military themed branding, although they wore regular unis.

Arizona State Sun Devils Unveil 1975 Throwback Uniforms

October 27, 2020 - 21:13 PM

Arizona State announced this week it will wear throwback uniforms on Dec. 5 against UCLA in honor of the program’s most recent undefeated season. The uniforms are reminiscent of what the Sun Devils wore in 1975, including ASU’s sunburst logo on both sides of the gold helmet, a maroon jersey

RE: Maryland

 

The state flag has been part of their identity for decades now. The M banner logo was introduced in the nineties. The only identities they've had prior to that was the script Terps logo, and block letter M's. I know they've gone overboard with the flag over the last 15+ years, but this little beauty posted below was a very nice change up from the plain block M that preceded it.

This is a great logo. I just think the key is keeping the black/yellow as an accent and not an essential feature. Under Armour went off the deep end and it’s hurt what was a really cool brand.

So they're using Army camo for a Navy battleship that deployed Marines.

This was replaced by the M above the Maryland flag, wasn't it? If it's still part of the school identity they should use it. 

[4_tattoos 1,494]

@MJWalker45 yeah, that's Maryland current primary logo. Don't hate it, but not a fan of it either.

 

Also, I stand corrected from my previous post. Maryland did have other logos beside the Terps script and block M. There were at least 2 different Testudo (turtle mascot) logos that I completely forgot about.

 

 

 

 

The second logo was Maryland's 1A athletic logo until 2012. The M banner was it's 1B. I honestly saw both logos in equal amounts back in the day. Since the M banner logo actual appeared on some of Maryland's uniforms during that era (football helmets prior to 2001 season & basketball team's shorts) I may have mentally tagged it as being the main athletic logo. The Testudo logo was mainly seen on merchandise, TV and video game graphics.
