BBTV Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 My bad. I read your post wrong. I still think you guys did a great job overall. You really nailed the Packers "5", which is the one most people would have missed.

The_Admiral Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 crap, I have made a HUGE mistake, the Chargers are the only team with the 'elbow' of the 5 slanted, the rest have a right angle, the ones with the Varsity Block font. Somehow, I'll find it in my heart to forgive you. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac the Knife Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 they are italic/slanted whatever you want to call them. I know it'shardly noticebale in some photos but I worked on them while at Nikeso I know they are. So you're the one who we should shoot for helping develop those ugly bastards?

ebod39 Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 wow, harsh. Ugly? hardly. The Bengals numbers, now those are ugly.The U of Miami numbers, now those are ugly. The U of Washington numbers,now those are ugly.We just took the numbers they were using on their helmets (for years)and decided to use them on their jerseys. Sure fullblock looks goodand always had, but fullblock looks good on anything so that argument is moot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 No one really thought the Bengals numbers were ugly when placed on the backs of the US Soccer teams' uniforms. Same font, just made 3-D. Doesn't quite work for a football uniform, but it's not an ugly font.Miami? Some bastardization of Handel Gothic. That's not a pretty font.Washington? Not sure. Kind of looks like a cross between Handel Gothic and Crillee (think Blue Jays).West Virginia? A fatter version of Washington, but with horrible spacing.I do like the numbers used by the University of Cincinnati & U. New Hampshire football teams, and Xavier's baskertball teams. Nike Gothic is how it's listed on the niketeam website. I'm looking for a copy of it myself, but that's another story (and another thread).

shiznit1083 Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Actually, I'll be perfectly honest. I love most of the new numbers. I don't really see the big issue with them. They're an attempt to add a unique flavor to a schools uniform. They're bold, but not difficult to read. I guess I'm in the minority here, but I really like Nike's style as well as most of the new stuff they put out. I'm a big fan of the piping. Piping solves a usually major problem: giving the uniform a simple but advanced look.And Pittsburgh's new numbers work perfectly with their uniforms. Good job whoever was in charge of it.

eriqjaffe Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Washington? Not sure. Kind of looks like a cross between Handel Gothic and Crillee (think Blue Jays). Actually, Washington calls their typeface "Husky Bold":The block W was also used to develop a new display typeface, Husky Bold, that will be unique for Washington athletics. The typeface will be used in the new identity program on all uniforms, court and field signage, publications and departmental letterhead. The typeface includes numerals used on all uniforms.

Nick 1733 Posted November 22, 2004 Author Share Posted November 22, 2004 I've sent the links to many people, anyone who has asked for them after I sent them out to the second group of people will have to wait. There seems to be a problem with the free site they are uploaded to (bandwidth I do believe). MLB, NBA, NFL & NHL Font Packs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick 1733 Posted November 25, 2004 Author Share Posted November 25, 2004 For anyone who wants to know, I am now working on the throwback numbers. Should be done very shortly. The Cowboys sleeve numbers are different, they are the basic Varsity Block numbering. MLB, NBA, NFL & NHL Font Packs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick 1733 Posted November 27, 2004 Author Share Posted November 27, 2004 I have yet to re-upload them all. I had to make adjustments to at least one team in each division.With a 56k modem it'll take me some time to do that again.I'll let anyone who's emailed me know when they are re-uploaded and give them the links.

BRice16 Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Just wanted to say thanks, and I'm anxiously awaiting the day in the future when they will be available as font files.And I'm impressed that you have the patience to deal with all of us on 56k...
