TBGKon Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 I had a pretty boring night last night and came up with these:what do you all think?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsLuvver Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Take that logo off the helmet and add some numbers to the sleeves and you have a pretty nice update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo soldier Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 As we all know penn st will never change their football unis. that being said, from a strictly concept standpoint its great, it could work with a lot of teams. and it would be a solid update if the lions ever do decide to change them.

sj32 Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Never say never on Penn State. I think all bets are off once Joe Pa retires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Looks a bit too early 80's cowboyish for me. I like your helmet template, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicfurth Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 People also thought USC wouldn't change...That being said, I like the unis. On the roads, did you try blue sleeves outlined in silver? I think that'd be pretty cool. Not much for the helmet logo. What if you went with the older, lion-in-oval logo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football-Fan Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 I like the helmet. I definitely hope after Paterno retires they add that logo to their helmet.In the 'home" jersey, if you are going to use the gray collar, you need to make the sleeve ends gray as well. As far as whether the Penn State uniform will ever change. Well for those that say NEVER, let me remind them that Never is a Really, Really, Really Long Time That being said, I think that if a completely new staff takes over, there is a fair chance the helmet/uniform will change within a year or so. If Paterno's Defensive Coordinator gets the job, as Joe Pa would have, I don't think there will be any change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 I don't think Penn State will add anything to its helmets. The plain helmet is as much a part of Penn State as the plain blue uniforms and the coach slowly progressing into senility.I do think the uniforms will be modified in the future. No names on the back, but I think an addition of silver is a possibility, as well as modifying the number font a little bit.Your concept still looks too much like the Cowboys. It's the off-colored sleeves and the number font. If you kept the silver yoke, but made the sleeves the same color as the body, and changed the font, it would definitely look updated without straying from tradition.

MJWalker45 Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 I think it looks great! I had a similar idea but with NY Jets helmet stripes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 I see you edited it from the original one. Frankly, this is leaps and bounds better than the first, because of two reasons.1-The addition of sleeve numbers. It really makes the uniform less plain, and therefore, makes it better.2- Replacing the logos. The Lion head looks way better than the other logo with the Penn State banner. Good job.

JamesCraven Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 "There are some things that are too sacred, even for concepts." And for maybe the second time in my life, I totally agree with JQK on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mings Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 I could see Penn State doing an alternate after Paterno leaves, if anything just to boost merchandise sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannymits Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Only when JoePa leaves (expires on the job the way it's going), could I ever picture the Nittany Lions modernizing their traditional look. Even then, it's bound to upset some people in Happy Valley. Then again, they're already angry over that 4-7 record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZzyzx41 Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 I've liked that lions logo since they adopted it. I have always wanted to see it on the helmet but like people have stated...Penn State has one of those uniforms that (like Michigan, ND, Alabama, etc) may never be changed. Great look though as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 this would be one of those rare occasions that i agree with jqk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 The concept looks good. Sort of a Rams-Cowboys mixture. I don't know what the chances of a change are though, nor do I think they need one.Except, there is one thing that has always bothered me. How about a thing navy stripe on their pants...Their helmet is white with a navy stripe. There jerseys are white with a navy stripe/navy with a white stripe...it just would make so much more since with that minor addition of a thin navy stripe on the pants. I don't think it would detract from their look at all either.I guess it's similar to how I feel about the Colts. Just put the freaking second stripe on the helmet so it matches the jersey and pants... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
