johnnysama Posted December 11, 2022 Author Share Posted December 11, 2022 For football uniforms, the various manufacturers of uniforms (Sand Knit/Ripon, Russell, Wilson, Champion) have had different-looking stock block numerals. For instance, the TV numbers on Russell's block numbers are narrow, but the Sand Knit/Ripon ones are wider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayJ12 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I saw a post on the Pacers Instagram about their jersey history, and never remembered seeing this uniform design - the "layup logo" being including in the script is such a pleasing idea that I'm surprised the team hasn't gone back to it yet. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrayJ12 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I was going through the Gridiron Uniform Database last night and I noticed the 49ers wore their logo on silver helmets in 1962 and 1963 before switching to gold helmets for 1964 and beyond: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Yeah, they kinda fluctuated between "we're red and white" "no, we're red and gold," and "no, no, no, we're red and silver" for most of their first two decades. 1 Quote A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Which baffles me. How can a team called the 49ers not wear gold? It's not the same argument as "well there's no navy bears or green eagles". 2 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

It's not the same argument as "well there's no navy bears or green eagles". Exactly why I wish they would make the wordmark and swooshes on their jerseys gold, feels strange to not incorporate it into the jersey at all. All they need is a little bit, and making both gold prevents the swoosh from becoming too prominent. That and adding stripes to the socks would make their set even more perfect. 3 Quote Perrin Grubb | Aspiring Designer | NAFA Project ~ NFL Redesigns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 The 49ers have always frustrated me with their jerseys. The either have to be red and white only or if they include gold it has to be with black, drop-shadows, and logos on the sleeves. I think the red jersey with gold-outlined numbers and gold incorporated in the sleeves would look fantastic. 3 Quote Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

maz Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Something I think next to nobody notices... the "P" in the arch Pirates script is "capitalized" (aka it's slightly bigger than the rest). This led me to notice that it's slightly changed a few times over the years. It was this way when they first went to that script in the 50's up through the 60's and most of the 70's. The original version of the 1960's uniforms appears to have taller letters than the more "squished" current version they've worn since bringing back that uniform when they moved to PNC Park in 2001. Personally, I prefer the late 70's to late 90's version with all the letters the same size (before they went to this for a few years which, honestly, I also kinda liked).

GrayJ12 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Not a uniform detail per se, but I think this might be the only thread where this might be appropriate for this. Ball State used this logo, known as "Dancing Charlie," from the mid 1960s until the 1990s. Ball State has brought back this logo in recent years (first in football, and then through other sports): I was going through the wonderful St. Louis Cardinals Uniforms and Logos website a few days when I found this 1958 scorecard for the Slugging Birds: I feel like it was not uncommon back in the day for college teams to borrow logos from pro teams (heck, Ball State's helmet logo was the St. Louis/Phoenix football Cardinals logo the same time Dancing Charlie was the official athletics logo.) But the fact that I found this is very interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
