It feels like I haven't seen Clemson in purple pants since forever. (Also, possibly unpopular opinion, but Clemson doesn't use purple anywhere near enough for it and orange being the unique colorway that it is....) 5 Quote *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...

It seems like whenever I've watched Clemson the last 8 years or so they wore orange but apparently I'm not watching them enough. Quote Smart is believing half of what you hear.

But they look basically the same I like the gold and navy better. It looks sleek and not as cartoony. If I had to choose between the currents and throwback I will take the current ones because of the colored unique numbers and shade of royal blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrimalCookie Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 16 minutes ago, ripall90 said: how about florida's orange jersey? Orange was the primary throughout the 80s, only changing back to blue once Spurrier arrived (since he wore blue jerseys as a player here). Since then, it's been a periodic alternate, usually worn against either Kentucky, LSU, or a cupcake OOC opponent. However, this year they're not scheduled to appear at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Pitt should've gone back to these (blue facemask instead of gold and numbers moved to the shoulders though). 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were based on the tower of learning on their campus. I prefer the previous block numbers since it incorporates the pointed arch more subtly. Also I prefer the yellow numbers with the white outlines because yellow thin outlines on white looks muddy. Also it keeps it more consistent with the helmet logo which is white outlined color script. The throwback is inconsistent with the script on the color since that is yellow instead of white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't think logo and number colors/outlines have to be that consistent on a football uniform but hey that's why they're called opinions.

I also don't think logo and number colors/outlines have to be that consistent on a football uniform but hey that's why they're called opinions. I mean I think making the tops and bottoms into arch points is one of the least obtrusive ways to incorporate something iconic into the numbers. And for me me when looking at unis with a fine tooth comb I would say inconsistencies and redundancies are a big deal. I also generally prefer custom number fonts that match a school or team branding than generic block font. I don't love every custom number font and prefer block over bad numbers but block font like this doesn't bother me. Another issue I have is putting the TV numbers on the side for no real reason and leaving the top of the shoulder pads bare. I would be willing to apply the yellow and blue over the 2010 uniforms. That would look better than the current set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s an odd take, to me. In my grumpy old man view of uniforms, the only reason to put numbers on the shoulders, in fact the only reason any team ever put their numbers on the shoulders, is the the sleeves were occupied with stripes or logos. In my mind, if there’s nothing happening on a jersey from the side view other than TV numbers, they should always go on the sleeve. Shoulder numbers are just an unfortunate compromise we’ve made to the shrinking jersey. 2 Quote http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And speaking of stripes, Pitt should just get rid of the TV numbers altogether and go with sleeve stripes instead. 1 Quote Visit my store on REDBUBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
