Sodboy13 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I just can't shake a parallel here to the University of Houston wearing Oilers knockoff uniforms. These look and feel like there's a school named Houston Tech or something, it's their first year of D-II football, and they really want to make a connection to the big team in town, but this is as close as they could get with the available stock options in the Don Alleson catalog. Maybe the full set proves out. But I'm not seeing anything above a lateral move so far. 2 Quote On 1/25/2013 at 1:53 PM, 'Atom said: For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head.

Brave-Bird 08 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 2 hours ago, HOOVER said: Using "vibrant" and "Houston Texans uniforms" in the same conversation is a Texas-sized stretch. The original orientation of the white uniform with navy pants and red socks had great color blocking and looked really nice and colorful, especially in the sun. It was only until their preference of navy or white socks over the last hand full of years that the look became drab. But, I mean, that's the way of the world in the NFL now ... most teams have downgraded because of these same issues. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I mean...the Texans put themselves behind the 8-ball by employing such a drab (and by that point overused in pro sport) colorway in the firs place. I mean shoot, even making their Battle Red brighter than what it is currently would help a little bit. Actually, you know what? Moving towards something more like neon red might help a LOT: That'd be one way to spice things up a little bit...but whatevs. 7 Quote *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...
DustDevil61 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I know it’ll never happen (due to 20+ years of brand equity), but the more I think of it, the more I like the Texans and Titans effectively swapping their color schemes (provided the Titans go primarily Red and the Texans go primarily Luv Ya Blue). The Titans would largely match the Tennessee state flag while the Columbia Blue returns to the original home of the Oilers. If I have some time and resources, I might have to try a concept exploring this idea. That said, it still baffles me that the Titans, who are the primary reason why the Texans can only use so much Columbia Blue, would rather wear Navy like so many other teams—including the Texans. 1 Quote http://i.imgur.com/Pyc5qRH.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/RDXvxFE.gif LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old School Fool Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Aside from the Seahawks, the 49ers are the only other team I can recall working around the manufacturer logo. When the 49ers wore Montana throwbacks in the mid 2000's. They put the Reebok logo in the stripes and I'm not sure why because the Reebok logo was usually in the position above the sleeve number on all the NFL jerseys at the time. I assume they wanted the logo to bleed into the stripes so that you wouldn't notice it and it looked like a clean design or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 The OG ReeBox which soon took over the NHL edit; and it’s not a manufacturer’s logo, it’s an advertisement. Reebok didn’t make those, and even if they had, they paid for the space.

I just assumed it was the parody Cal McNair Twitter acct that posted, not the Reddit acct. I'm not sure what Cal McNair is thinking. Does he really think the unis will stay under wraps for another FIVE WEEKS when they already had a leak less than 72 hours after the announcement of the unveiling?

They'll point to a team like the Panthers and say something about how modern uniform cuts make shoulder numbers almost vestigial, and that the idea of "TV numbers" need not apply in the age of HD. Really it's because they get to charge the same price for thousands upon thousands of replica jerseys whose margins inched up just a little by eliminating two print locations. 1 Quote On 1/25/2013 at 1:53 PM, 'Atom said: For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head.

Well, yeah, those ridiculous tiny shoulder numbers the Panthers insist on sticking with suck. They look beyond stupid. I don't miss mandatory TV numbers. I like them as an option, but I also like the option the option of not having them. Modern football jerseys have such a tiny amount of real estate from collar to cuff there's no point of cramming in too much stuff. Plus, even when they had more space, open shoulders have such a classic football feel, IMO. 14 Quote http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like it may be some sort of Mandela effect, but I swear I've seen pics on here where the Steelers put the Nike logo inside their sleeve striping rather than above it when they became a Nike team in the late 90s.
