andrewharrington Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 They've been italiced since changing from the block font. It's very slight, but it's there and they are meant to match the numbers on the helmet. I know that's their justification, but it doesn't change the fact that the numbers on the jerseys are italic and the ones on the helmet aren't.I blame Nike and the team - Nike for changing the Steeler uniforms only to put their "stamp" on them, and the team for letting them.Change for change's sake alone is a bad idea. And that's exactly what this was - looking for a change that they could make just to make a change. I don't know, they look italic on the helmets, too. I can't confirm it, but just looking at it, wouldnt the imaginary edge of the "3" be parallel with the stripe if they were straight?

JH42XCC Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 IMO, the italicized numbers look weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they used to be italic, but maybe they are now.Ok, they match. It's still stupid. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

fashman23 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Actually, Nike did put their stamp on the jerseys. If I remember correctly, Nike screwed up the white jerseys by using one color black names to match the numbers the first year they had the Steelers. After public outrage, Nike admitted their mistake and switched the leters back to yellow on black the following season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
