Germanshepherd Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I miss Toledo’s under armour uniforms. They’ve gone way downhill after the Nike switch. 3 Quote i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll need a prayer in Columbus this year, looking forward to it (and the blue chip WRs that continue to pour in). As for THE trademark, I'm shocked it went through but I don't really understand what it entails legally. There have been "THE" shirts sold around campus for years. If I'm Ohio State, I'd be more concerned with trying to beat Alabama come time for the Playoff/Championship. At this point, Michigan shouldn't be that big of a deal. But, as far as the trademark, I would hope there are some fine details that would allow it to not be completely owned by the Buckeyes. It's such a general word.

Well to be fair, they’ve beaten Alabama in the playoffs just as often as Alabama has beaten them. 9 Quote http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree with you about the blue helmets. I wish they'd bring that striping patten to all of their uniforms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a general word. I guess Alabama makes a great case for building a dynasty while not being all that consistent against their rival in Auburn. Unfortunately, Michigan has reclaimed their status in the Big Ten as Ohio State's greatest threat for the conference and, thusly, a shot at the playoff (in the majority of cases). For Bama, Auburn is rarely that team. Lots of fans degraded The Game over the last decade of dominance, but we saw what it cost us to lose. Even if we won a nattie after going 1-loss against UM, it just wouldn't feel right. But things could get really weird once playoff expansion comes. Anyway, THE trademark is stupid but a perfect thing to fuel friendly trash talk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be really nice to see some of the MAC teams get some uniforms that have a unique style to their school, not ones straight out of the catalog. It's disappointing that Toledo has been stuck with catalog uniforms since switching to Nike. However, the notches in the MSU numbers actually work with Toledo's logo, so I don't mind it. Heck, their "Toledo" wordmark used notches 13 years before MSU did it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those Toledo notches and the number notches are mirrored though. It’d make sense if the numbers had notches in the “northwest” corners, but they don’t. Quote Smart is believing half of what you hear.

In an ideal situation, they'd have a custom number font to match the wordmark, but they gave that option up when they switched from UA to Nike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you certain that it didn't become a stock font after being designed for Toledo, like the Maryland and Texas Tech fonts? The earliest catalog I can find is from 2013, which shows this exact group of fonts. https://issuu.com/kollegetown/docs/kollege_town_under_armour_2013_football/78 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always have been a stock uniform team since that became a thing. It's kind of strange that Russell and Champion haven't pushed bac in, but they may think it isn't worth the costs still.

I don't know why Under Armour is so obsessed with shoehorning blue into everything that uses green with ND. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
