I’m guessing the Ducks go white/white/green, as they’ve already worn all-white this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aawagner011 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Here is the Peach Bowl Field design. I wish they would paint the endzones, but it’s not too surprising considering the Falcons play there the day after. One small change from the last time the Peach hosted a semifinal is that the CFP logos are now outlined in black. I believe that’s standard for the other NY6 bowls, but last time the CFP logos were plain gold against the turf. I would expect they’ll do another coat of paint closer to the game as the paint is already a bit faded. I dislike the way the Georgia endzone is treated. I understand that they tend to use the style used at the home team’s stadium, but when the other team’s endzone is in their colors, I feel like the other should be, as well. This has often been the case in the SEC Championship. I wish they would paint it red like the one time they did it in the SEC title game in 2018. Other CFP games for Georgia have had red text against a black background or white text against a red background. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave-Bird 08 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I’m ready for Oregon to find something new. The winged helmet has overstayed its welcome to me, and this particular template is just a mess. A simpler base template and a return to the “O” on the side of the helmet would make me happy. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an Oregon fan, I disagree. Especially with the winged helmets, I much prefer a version of winged helmets over just the “O” on the sides. I suppose I’d be fine with a mix of both, but my ideal situation would be to bring back the mallard finish lids with the “O” on the sides and have every other helmet (apple green, yellow, black and/or white) with wings. There are definitely some Oregon fans that prefer the simpler helmets, but based on what I’ve seen I’d say a majority prefer the wings. As for the jerseys, I’ve actually enjoyed this base design quite a bit. It’s more distinctive than 2018-20 and more cohesive than 2016-2017. It’s sticking around for one more year next year, and I’m hoping what comes in 2024 will build off of the current look but have color balance more similar to what was seen from 2009-2015. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but the mix & match ability is what defined those eras of Oregon’s uniforms and it’s something this set has lacked a little bit. Shameless plug, but here’s what I’ve recently come up with as a concept idea for 2024: 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those first ones were revolutionary for the Ducks and for all of CFB, but purely aesthetically they don’t measure up with a lot of the other winged helmets the Ducks have done.

aawagner011 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Watched a bit of the Holiday Bowl. Gotta say, UNC’s regular uniforms are way better than their throwbacks. The stripes have totally inconsistent thicknesses across the helmet, jersey, and pants. They could be good with a tidying up, but they don’t beat out their regular set, which are already some of the best in college football. Speaking of UNC, check out their QB’s sleeve stripes. The bottom navy stripe is about as thick as both the top navy and middle white stripes combined. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolvikings Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I like the wings on Oregon’s helmet as a basic design, but I wish they could control their dumber instincts and avoid fading gradients and the silly chromed up nonsense. Solid color yellows and greens on contrasting color helmets would be an obvious win. I’ve said before Oregon has one of the best uniform possibilities right within reach, but just can’t help themselves from tarting it up. Go with the wings on the helmet, duck profile on the sleeve, O on the front collar and pants hip. Use nothing but white, yellow, and that gorgeous bright green. Stop with all the ugly patterns, sparkles, shiny stars, metal plating… ugh. It’s like they have a seasoned designer make all the decisions until the very end, when the bring in the tweeners with their bedazzles and glitter glue. Stop it. Keep it simple and let the amazing colors and nice graphics do all the work 13 Quote http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
