bods39 Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 I'm watching the Buckeyes spank the Huskiesand realized I REALLY don't like the those huskie unis.The number font clashes with the full block "W", theirnameplate font looks unusually small and the pipingat the shoulders is just plain wimpy.Other things I noticed: Oregon wearing the all yellow duds,oh lord breakout the BlueBlockers. It looks like they're wearing one of Michael Irvins old suits. And UNC in all columbia blue,remids me of some footy pajamas my grandma bought me when I was 7. West Virginia didn't looks so good getting trounced in their bronco-esque monstrosity. But...on the reverse and all that is good in the world side, USC with the grey facemasks and sweet new/old jerseys. Plus good 'ol Ohio state, they makea plain helmet look pretty darn good.

sj32 Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 I thought it was nice to see Nebraska go retro (if you consider five years ago "retro"). I also hope those Oregon jerseys don't become the standard Nike pattern for the decade (ala the Broncos). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oz615 Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 Tennessee finally got rid of the horrendous uniforms from last year,Florida State was in all white for the first time in 12 years, plus i notice a lot of teams the wore white cleats last season switch to black cleats and vice versa,but the team that made the biggest improvement uniform wise so far has to be Michigan State,Tulsa,finally wearing normal uniforms again,but ive notice that not only more teams are wearing Bronco-style uniforms,but i also notice a lot of teams going w/ the Houston Texans sholder stripe on the jerseys hey there two more days worth of football to go,plus some of them were idle today,just gotta wait to next week and see what develops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrich11 Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 I don't know if you all saw the Toledo uniform posted, or UConn on TV. How about Atlanta Falcons in the NFL. If you add all those new unis up you get a pretty bad trend. *For unis, like in fashion, the more trendy they are, the faster they look bad. In the early 70s there was a large wave of experimentation in stripes and colors, which produced some wild things. Looking back on it it is one of the worst periods in unis history. Whether we will admit it now or later, THIS is another period we can label as the worst in unis history. If something is fresh, it doesn't make it good. Neither does a stale, old design always work. Even the players will be cringing at this stuff in a couple years. Just wait.I am totally with Eric Bodamer on his evaluations, too. Nice job. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJR Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 as long as bowling green, wyoming, and western michigan dont decide to go all one color any time soon things will be fine :: I thought Western switched awhile ago to black jerseys, replacing the ones using that other color. So one color for them wouldn't be a problem. FantasyHockeySim.com || DetroitHockey.Net || DetroitHockey.Net FHL || cjr.dev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discrim Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 the texans' stripe is thinner than the stripe you're alluding to (usc). just pointin that out. A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sj32 Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Here's a change I didn't notice until looking at today's paper. Indiana has made a slight alteration to their jersey, dropping the "IU" from the left front and adding "HOOSIERS" in big block letters across the front (as if they didn't already look like an Oklahoma rip-off last year).The new:The old:I was so busy evaluating UConn's changes I missed my own alma mater's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrich11 Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 A good test of a uniform's design is if it has "staying power." Will that team be wearing these unis in a couple of years? One always has to think about that. The answer to many of what we've seen this weekend is a big fat NO. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puckcool22 Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 i didnt make this observation by watching tvi saw this in American weddingthe american pie's take place in michigan, and in american wedding they were in a sporting goods storein the background were michigan jerseys, including a maize/yellow/ w/e they call it, a reverse of the dark blue one.will these make it out onto the field or are they just a fashion jersey like the silver buckeye jerseys and the black sooners jerseys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 I actually really like the changes UConn made. As for Oregon... what in the holy hell is Nike thinking?I think Oregon has basically become Nike's experimental b****es so to speak. The first one kinda worked out. This one...umm...no...

eastcoasthusky Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 The W on Washington's helmet has been there forever, but Nike recently did a touch-up on everything two years ago including creating a font for them called Husky Bold. I kind of agree with the piping, the older unis were a little more classic, and good god what is Oregon wearing.Old UWNew UW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yh Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 SHB, Bowling Green does have a single color uni, however it's all orange. Not unlike what Illinois wore here this weekend when they were defeated once again by my Mizzou Tigers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bods39 Posted September 2, 2003 Author Share Posted September 2, 2003 STL FAN: you are totally correct in your assumption, Oregonis Nikes personal guinea pig. And that directive comesright from the top, Phil Knight. He wants Oregonto have the newest, best of everything. So while the unisare garish they actually may be trying somethingwith the fabrics or seam lines, I don't know for sure.They do have those cooling vests, my buddy came up with that idea, he's been trying to get that going for 5 years now.
