We know Nike can make the Champion fonts, based off the Jets, so I hope we see that here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they got both the 2 and the 4 of the Champion font pretty much right. The 7, though, uses a straight diagonal instead of the signature curve.

The 7, though, uses a straight diagonal instead of the signature curve. Apparently that was the style they wore the year they won the Alamo Bowl. Or at least this guy did. There are other jerseys for sale with the more famous version of the 7 on them. The guy pictured above appears to be the anomaly of the team, or the way that the jersey stuck to the pads it gave that effect and Nike ran with it. Based on this picture vs Central Michigan I'm going to go with the uniform sticking to the pads. There's video of the game, but it's a quick cut ESPN bowl game video that cuts out anything other than the plays. I'll have to find something else to confirm. They did have this version of the 7 in the 1960's, but I don't think you pull this out of your history to mash it up with another decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Love the Purdue unis except for the double white on the numbers. The outer stroke should definitely be gold. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Glad Purdue went to this. While the cow catcher detail was a neat idea, the application with the funky material on the jersey just didn't work (plus it reminded me of the random plastic wrap stuff the Jaguars had on their Nike-fied uniforms). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I’ve mentioned on here a few times now about how Oregon will be wearing throwbacks sometime this year. A recruit leaked the pants a while back, and now a few items from the retail collection have been leaked. S/O to one of my buddies for finding the items. Coaches polo: Two t-shirts: The expectation is that they’ll be 1994 throwbacks again. If so, I’m hoping they fix some of the inaccuracies that the 2014 throwbacks had. Here’s what I’d like to see: - Champion number font (worn throughout 1994 season, but not in 1995 Rose Bowl) - Large shoulder numbers - Perforated numbers (least important, but I’d still like to see it) - Helmet numbers - “Oregon” on front bumper 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who'da thunk traditional would be the new trend??? I think it's swinging more toward simple, which is a double-edged sword. It can either lead to beautiful classic uniforms, or plain boring uniforms that lack any character or defining features. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinturner95 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 This might be better served for the Unpopular Opinions thread, but am I the only one that doesn't like when teams (this goes across all sports) go to a throwback design as is for their regular home and away uniforms? To me it feels like a cop out, like "we can't think of anything better so here's our old uniforms again" 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it feels like a cop out, like "we can't think of anything better so here's our old uniforms again" I understand what you're saying, but if a design is good, does it matter if it is a throwback? If it IS a good design and they had stayed with it, this wouldn't be an issue. I'm ambivalent on this uniform. I'd prefer stripes on the pants and am not sure how I feel about the outline on the numbers. 7 It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radchad Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Yeah personally I'd like to see stripes on the pants, as well as gold outlines on the numbers, but these are a massive upgrade from their last set--I'll take the win. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk, I feel like it takes the creativity out of uniforms, but maybe less of that is more these days. I agree on the pants needing stripes and the numbers don’t need the double outlines 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it feels like a cop out, like "we can't think of anything better so here's our old uniforms again" I don't mind teams going back to an old look, but it is annoying when they don't update or fix any of the flaws of the look. If it's your regular look, it doesn't need to be a 100% faithful throwback, warts and all. Purdue's same-color number outline looked bad then, and looks bad now. A gold outline or plain numbers would have looked better, and the pants could have used stripes to match the helmet. And then of course, there's Miami and their mismatched pants stripe that they didn't fix. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germanshepherd Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Not mad at this look at all for Purdue, even if I do think their ideal set is something train-themed. The double outline isn’t great, but doesn’t tank the look either imo. I actually think the modern template makes it look better than the original. i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8BW14 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I know Purdue is wearing what is essentially a throwback, but it’s not a very good one IMO. It looks more dated than classic to me. The double outline looks cheap and the gold is too light to be touching white. I thought Purdue looked pretty good when they stuck to the basics with the last set (minus the silly rubber cow catcher) 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
