Huntr Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Speaking of new vapor fusion template for mostly NFL teams, will the Broncos be one of them? It would be interesting how new template coordinate with stripe side panels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwuascenario Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 If all they're doing is adjusting the color, I wonder why they even announced it. They put those jerseys on sale for nothing, most fans wouldn't have even noticed. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one thing to make a template that can't handle traditional stripes, or a template that can't handle modern designs, but to have a template that can't handle ANY designs is a whole other thing. 7 4 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!

They would probably modify the template the same way they did the Elite51 for teams that had side panels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really not a fan of this template. Sad to hear. When I saw that photo that the Panthers posted on their website today, the perspective makes it look like the TV number was awfully close to the neck; certainly they wouldn't allow for those numbers to impede on the collar, right? Right? To be honest, I like the idea of dropping the contrasting collar for Carolina. It's been more obvious that the collar doesn't quite match the shoulder loops. The old collar was much more subtle and it was easier for it to be more of an accent. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I have to agree with the guy who said Nike does them the best, I prefer the consistent shapes to the weird overlaps that some of the Under Armour stripes have 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleVermilion81 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Not sure if anyone else is seeing this, or if it's just my imagination, but does that number on the jersey appear to be rounded and not the normal block font? It almost looks like the Vikings' numbers (the ones without serifs). Like they're trying to bring the numbers inline with their word mark. Maybe I'm just looking too much into it and it's purely the angle combined with being out of focus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I don't think that image confirms anything like that. Could very likely be just camera focus, jersey folding, or other things. Not saying you're wrong, but that's not enough evidence to even suggest that they've changed fonts. 7 "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."

Carolingian Steamroller Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I wonder how the Panthers helmet would look if the stripes had reversed colors. Meaning blue stripes with black outlines, matching the stripes on the silver pants. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a quick Photoshop of this for myself (it's bad, I didn't want to post it and didn't even save it, someone else can do a better job than me) and the jersey ends up looking super generic without the contrasting collar. Nice thought to work through. I don't think it would make a difference on the size of the TV numbers either way, unless you want the TV numbers sewn up on the collar. The sleeve stripes are the issue with the TV numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it doesn't look much different than USC's home jersey. A good NFL equivalent for the thought process behind dropping the contrasting collar and numbers would be the Bengals, as well, at least in terms of space dedicated to the shoulder/sleeve design and overall emptiness of the shoulder.

I made a fast and dirty version. I think this looks pretty good personally. All the inner most stripes are blue and the outer stripes are either black or silver depending on the backdrop. I also add a thin black outline on the helmet logo. You can see one on the sleeve patch for the blue jersey and I never noticed it before but I kinda like it. Trying something similar to the white uniform works but maybe not as well: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aawagner011 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Now make the stripes on the helmet and pants a consistent width from start to finish, instead of tapered (and flared in the case of the helmet), and this set will truly be cooking. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
