It is not the Michigan State font. The Spartans use a shorter, squatter font that has notches whereas the Purdue font is much taller with no notches. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOOVER Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Purdue has long used a proprietary font. It was in Nike's Team catalog for years but was removed about 5 or so ago. Nike called it "ITHACA". https://fonts2u.com/nike-ithaca.font The new uniforms are an improvement. My last comments were obtuse; there's not much you can do to make Black/Vegas Gold/White uniforms all that different from everyone else who uses the color scheme. At least the trend is moving off of "train tracks" and back to "traditional". 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the trend is moving off of "train tracks" and back to "traditional". I definitely didn't hate the train tracks. Honestly it would've been cool to see them use it on the sleeves instead of shoulders as a sleeve stripe. But could've looked wonky I'm sure. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOVER Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Last comment on these: they very much look like Team Catalog order uniforms. You can tell by the: - smaller, lower-quality homeplate embroidery patch. - embroidered Nike Swoosh, rather than sewn on embroidered Swoosh patch. - BIG10 patch is a piece of twill, either sublimated or embroidered, then cut and sewn onto jersey. - PURDUE twill wordmark looks like it was done locally, not at the factory. On the Black jersey, it looks like it has 2 outlines...one Anthracite, one Black. On the White jersey, it just has 1 outline. Another indicator these were either ordered improperly or done after by a domestic twill embroiderer. - the kisscut stitching on the numbers looks sloppier than when done at the factory 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The train tracks on the helmet were stupid and gimmicky, but whatever the printed tonal shoulder design was at least made them immediately identifiable. It began to look quite dated, but it was different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DouglasQuaid Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Purdue should've done a black and gold version of this. It mimics train imagery, while also having classic stripes. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aawagner011 Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Virginia Tech looks just about perfect. I’d like to also see an orange jersey and pants to be used sparingly, but those are classics, and I love the contrasting sleeve numbers. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need help balancing your workload, especially with big projects, you can always use this https://essays.edubirdie.com/write-my-dissertation service to assist with writing your dissertation. Balancing both academics and athletics can be challenging, but with the right resources, it's manageable. These jerseys definitely look like they came from a Team Catalog order. The smaller homeplate embroidery patch and the embroidered Nike Swoosh instead of a sewn-on patch are dead giveaways. The BIG10 patch also looks like a cheaper piece of twill rather than high-quality embroidery. The differences in the PURDUE twill wordmark between the black and white jerseys are telling. The two outlines on the black jersey and the single outline on the white one suggest they were likely done locally and not at the factory. Plus, the kisscut stitching on the numbers does seem sloppier compared to factory standards. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a company based out of New York called ProJerseys Inc. that does a lot of uniform adornment for teams like Western Kentucky, Army, James Madison, UCF... I wonder if maybe Purdue used them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree that matching numbers are a general rule, like all uniform rules, if you break in the right way I think it can be terrific. Here, the contrasting sleeve numbers are adding a burst of orange color to an otherwise unadorned jersey. There are other ways to get a little orange into the design but this is an interesting way of doing while still leaving the jersey itself a numbers only affair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I was hoping for! Man, no disrespect to VT fans, but I have never seen people get so excited about uniforms this boring. TV numbers are a plus, but I really, REALLY don't like double-outline; and while I get the idea behind the contrasting sleeve numbers, it just looks annoying in practice. At least the maroon helmets look good. 1 Quote "The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised."
