Brave-Bird 08 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 The black UF jersey was doomed to look bad, the blue and white GATORS script just drives it down. Looks like a "blackout night" alternate a high school team ordered half way through the season. 6 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Holy smokes those are terrible. This might be the worst case of BFBS yet. Sure, they are pitching it as a military thing, but when you have such great colors to work with, there is no need for black. If you really want to do something for the military, there are other ways to go about it. Also, why do the Gators insist on reinventing the wheel for every alternate? The script sticks out like a sore thumb. Just use the standard Gator logo opposite the Jumpman logo and the small SEC logo on the collar. They did something weird like this with the gator print uniform, which had a full size SEC patch and an oversized Gator patch that didn’t fit on the collar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 ^ those alternates were so bad that they were good, I can't explain it. Every time I am reminded of them I spam all of my UF friends with photos and no context, but DEEP DOWN on the inside I admit to myself they absolutely are like something I would have whipped up myself and tossed in the concept boards 10 years ago without apologizing. The issue they have with the new alt is the same Boise State ran into, which is that if you are blue and orange there's really no way to make a black jersey that doesn't look muddy unless you remove one of the colors altogether. In Boise State's case they just went with black + blue + grey and left the orange out. Granted, I not only don't think it looks any better, but it deviates from the school's brand and therefore isn't necessary. Another example is the Knicks alternates, which in some iterations have been orange numbers/lettering with white trim on black, making them look more like they're in Halloween jerseys than anything else. As Dr. Ian Malcolm said, just because you could doesn't mean you should. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j'villejags Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 It may just be the lighting, but the Florida jersey looks anthracite / charcoal to me -- not quite black. (Not that dark gray is any better.) My NFL concept series (in progress) --ATL, CLE, NE, WAS done. AZ updated 04/21/23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s baffling that instead of slowly phasing it out after nobody seemed to like it, they’ve doubled down and added it to both the football and basketball uniforms. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Random gray is random. Number font cam use some slimming down. Pretty cool application of the checkers to the collar. Solid otherwise. Are they also gonna have white lids? (Probably so, because of course so.) 3 *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...

Glad they dropped the checkerboard finally. Checkerboard is still there but more subtle. I referenced these 6 months ago when they teased them during the Super Bowl. Of note: much simpler design on the new Nike template with the Kentucky chest wordmark, wildcat design on the sleeves, gray outline on numbers, simple double stripe on pants, standard helmets with contrasting facemasks, tonal checkerboard on the collar. No signs of black, anthracite, or chrome at this point. Couple still shots: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Couple template updates: Alabama - we saw the retail jersey but here’s a gamer UNC - the argyle stops a bit higher due to the collar Oklahoma - the template pushes the wordmark and number down, making the gap between the Jumpman and conference logos very noticeable In other news: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like I was walking through the bookstore on the way to lunch, snapped a pic and sent it to Gators Unis. I like them but I’m really hoping they’ll look better on the field (they usually do, replica jerseys look bad often). Oh, that’s cool that you stumbled upon them like that. I guess you can call their decision to just put them on the shelf without any fanfare an “unceremonious unveiling.” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8BW14 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Kentucky’s numbers look a little bloated with the outline. No need for the silver trim, but it’s an upgrade. The checkered look was tired and dated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTRPresentation Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Hoping Maryland shows off all their sets of new uniforms. We've seen the red and white ones, I'm expecting a black version as well. Haven't heard anything yet about any special alternates this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I’ve only seen it used on a couple teams, mostly teams with UCLA stripes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like Nike should insist on it for teams with chest wordmarks. It would look a bit better. It was the issue I had with my Cowboys' uniforms -- just wishing they were able to scooch the wordmark and numbers up a smidge. Lol 2 My NFL concept series (in progress) --ATL, CLE, NE, WAS done.
