nugent4president Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Not that it says a whole lot, but at least Florida looks a little better than Tech. That said, why would Florida choose to look like this against one of their three main rivals? Why not wait until a home game against Vanderbilt or Mississippi State? And no, I don't know the home schedule for the Gators this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMU Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Memo to Nike:Just because you came up with some god awful jersey templete while your design team was high on acid, doesn't mean that you have to have several of your schools model those abominations.

KeeperEUSC Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 IMO, The Florida one's are worse than the VT one's, just due to the sleve striping on the opposite sleave. Anywho, I think the Anti-Drug organization could put it the best."Dont worry, just tell the fans you put out hideous jerseys because you were stoned. They'll understand."

tommytimp Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 The sleeve striping doesn't help, but I think they look better than Tech's if only because they don't have the ridiculous amount of piping that Tech's jerseys did.

Cujo Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I wanna know what the hell makes Nike think that simply changing the color of one sleve gives uniforms a "futuristic" look?!? It looks like a 2nd grader came up with this. This garbage looks stupid and will never catch on. What a huge fluffing waste of money.Nike, you can go ahead and stop making athletic apperal. Go to hell.. . . Okay, I feel better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I think it should be pretty clear to all of us by this point that these jerseys (save for Oregon) have nothing at al to do with being "futuristic." The sole reason for their existence is to promote and draw attention to the 2-tone undershirts beneath them, which Nike apparently believes it will now sell a bazillion of over the weekend because of this promotional push.As for Oregon's jerseys... I don't think any of us are truly able to put the astoundingly horrid nature of these design abortions into words. It's as if the designer spent the previous evening passed out on a sheet of diamondplate outside a bar after 17 tequila shooters, woke up, and stumbled straight into Nike's offices with visions of diamondplate still scorched into his retinas.On a side note, I'm surprised that the NCAA is not objecting to the increasing number of Nike logos on each player, given that they mandate only one corporate logo on the jersey. After all, the swooshes on these froo-froo undershirts, located just below the sleeves, are obviously placed there to look as if they're part of the actual jersey sleeve.

Maybe he staggered in and his partner looked at the indentations on his face and said, "That gives me a great idea!"Florida's look worse and worse the longer the game goes on. I can barely watch it. We joke about how teams start to look like clowns, but they REALLY do in these things. The Tech player with the backwards undershirt really looked like a harlequin.

FiddySicks Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Im glad Florida is wearing these monstrosities.

ebod39 Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I just saw a Gator-Bulldog update on ABC...wow they look even more ridiculous in action!Nike has lost a lot of ground to Underarmour in the compression underlayer business, so it's no wonder they're trying to take a new angle with their stuff. I guess they figured it was betterto make a huge splash and partner it with the unis, since they have the ability to do so.What I don't get is why would they make such a big deal about the undershirts in the first place.The percentage of business generated by these items at the retail level is so small. The stuff theteams wear is given to them as part of the contract, so no money to be made there.Regarding the "futuristic" aspect. There's nothing about these jersey in the way theyare made that makes them any different then their normal attire. An asymetrcial sleevedoes not show me the "future of football", it shows me how stupid Nike has become.IMO, what they did with the Broncos back in 1997 was futuristic. No one had anything likethat before, either in look or the way the jersey was contstructed. It kinda blew everyones minds, for good or bad.

nugent4president Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Don't look now, but Nike is 2-0 in the futures. Virginia Tech beat Boston College 30-10 and Florida just stopped Georgia 14-10. If teams start thinking these are lucky, maybe Penn State and Alabama will join the fray... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
