Brave-Bird 08 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Annoyed we only got a look at one uniform. But as I’ve said many times before, their marks are so good that no design quirks are needed to make them look distinct and unmistakable. Glad apparently people at Cincinnati thought the same thing. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rygi13 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Looks like Cincinnati got the cheaper version of the FUSE template with the mesh sides. Here is Cal also a BSN school and OSU for comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rygi13 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Also, this logo is laughably small on the collar. Looks like it's embroidered directly on rather than a patch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CS85 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 But they do have that dawg in them now, however. Moreso than before. 2 Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

The custom Cincinnati pattern is cool for graphics, stadium decorations, etc., but the way it was applied on the jersey with those weird, short collarbone stripes looked odd and clunky. These are really nice. I get that people on these boards pay enough attention to detail that little things like the way the logo is stitched on the collar front, the side panels apparently indicating these are cheap, etc., but the average fan won't notice anything other than the overall look and feel. And the overall look and feel is good. The logo, wordmark and numerals are so distinctly Cincinnati that they don't need anything else going on. The problem with their past uniforms is that they were way overdesigned: In every case above there's been WONKY design elements distracting from the fact their marks are distinct enough on their own -- it is unlike if a team with a standard color scheme just wears block numbers and stripes and *needs* a logo somewhere to be identified. When I see that font and the solid white numerals on black, I know it's Cincinnati immediately. Letting that be the case and letting red just exist in the sleeve cuff + logo/wordmarks is a case of finally letting their brand breathe and stand on its own, and that's clearly the intention of the new uniform. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Now that we’ve seen the Cincinnati black uniform, are we sure the white ones were placeholders? They are the real deal, in my opinion. Same template, same contrasting collars and cuffs, same font. Only difference I can tell is the chest wordmark is applied with a patch on the white jerseys whereas the black jerseys have a slightly bigger wordmark directly applied.

Yeah, I think the giant patch is the only thing that would change on the aways, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only difference I can tell is the chest wordmark is applied with a patch on the white jerseys whereas the black jerseys have a slightly bigger wordmark directly applied. But why would the black jersey have the large, properly applied wordmark and the white have the patch? I think the likeliest outcome is they had the design down but wouldn't have had them in time for media days, so they cobbled together the closest approximation of the uniform that they could in the time frame given – plain stock white jerseys with black cuffs, and took care of everything else in house – the screen printed logo (which is a patch on the black), too small numbers (could have used numbers intended for basketball uniforms, for example), and the large wordmark patch. I think they showed us the final design, just not the final production. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Not for nothing, but I really do wish Cincinnati would reinstate the italicized jersey numbers...I know some don't care for that on sports jerseys (I never have been that guy, though), but given how otherwise simple Cincinnati's look is and has been, I feel the italics add a certain sense of speed and dynamism that the regular Roman numbers just don't, despite being a distinctive font on their own. (Of course this is just one man's opinion...his two rusted Lincolns.*) 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...
