Gothamite Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 The Packers’ original version of those pant stripes were equally thin. I am reluctant to say that those aren’t Braisher Stripes because the pattern is clearly there. They were clearly intended to tie in with the helmet and sock stripes. For a time, the 49ers used a comically-thick version of the Braisher stripes. Didn't change the essential pattern, didn’t affect their Braisher-ness. I think the proportional nature of the three stripes is what carries the day for me; Braisher stripes can be thick or thin, so long as the proportions between stripes are consistent.

That’s just the helmet’s ridge, and paint being chipped off it.

oldschoolvikings Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 That molded center ridge was just a part of every helmet. Specifically pre-80's. In fact, it was such a given the the Seahawks designed their wrap around logo with the one inch gap to account for it. It wasn't until the last Nike redesign that they realized they no long needed it. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is the Braisher stripe named as such because it was the 1st time that stripe style was applied to a helmet and pant at the same time? The reason I ask is that skimming through the GUD the bears were wearing white pants with blue/orange/blue stripe back in the 40's which is well before the packers in '59.

This strengthens the argument that the stripe pattern needs to be Color-White-Color on a color background lighter than the color stripes to be truly considered a Brashier stripe. Plenty of teams went with some one or more of dark-laight-dark, light-dark-light, or color-background-color before the Packers. But nobody used that specific pattern/color combo until the Packers wore it; his true innovation was that center white stripe as ornamentation I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!

Gothamite Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Absolutely. Braisher’s innovation was the central white stripe. Color/white/color stripes applied principally to the helmets, and then mirrored on the pants, The look was soon copied by six other teams, with others later to follow, and It came to define the look of the NFL.

I agree, when it’s just one person calling it braisher stripes that doesn’t mean that’s what they are called. They aren’t the same as UCLA, or North Western stripes which have a universal understanding of what you are talking about. To me and most people that’s just a triple stripe with no knowledge of this braisher person. I’m not gonna lie until you gave the explanation for who braisher was I thought it was just another name for pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of like when people call hockey pants "breezers" . . . which is a term I'd never heard until recently.

MDGP Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I mean, I’ve definitely seen other people on this site use that term, pretty much ever since I joined. Whether or not the term annoys you, it’s pretty hard to argue that it isn’t an efficient term, certainly easier than saying color-white-color or even triple stripe, which can easily be associated with three separate stripes a la Adidas or the 49ers.
