VandyDelphia Mike Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 The fronts are not so bad, but the backs seem downright disproportional ... NCAA Baseball Champions | 2014, 2019 facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I could have sworn that Saint Louis suffered from the same affliction, but I couldn't find any supporting photos. I thought it was in the same font as well, but the Billikens use Crillee, not NCAA Gothic like Southenr Illinois.

BBTV Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 The real question is why do they have totally different fonts for home and away?

andrewharrington Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 These 'Aces' numbers are rather large as well.

PackerBadger Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Perhaps SIU's announcer is nearsighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedleyLamarr Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I guess so the upper deck folks can see the numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nugent4president Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I remember announcers talking about this during their run to the Sweet Sixteen a few years ago...they are that way so the numbers are easy to identify on television and for the announcers calling the game. It's also sort of a distinctive mark for them. Power to the Salukis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youppi! Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I guess so the upper deck folks can see the numbers? what upper deck. the arena's not that big. but yeah the numbers are freakin huge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I don't get the two different number fonts at all. They used to sport the home font on both sets, and that's the number font I prefer. Having two different fonts is just silliness (see Tampa Bay Storm, Colorado Crush.)

iowahoo Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Bowling Green got new Nike Home jerseys with their new word mark on them for this season, but used the old Okie State style orange jerseys on the road.Different number fonts and different wordmarks on the jersey fronts.

McCall Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I don't get the two different number fonts at all. They used to sport the home font on both sets, and that's the number font I prefer. Having two different fonts is just silliness (see Tampa Bay Storm, Colorado Crush.) They don't anymore. Those roads are from last year. This year they use the same numbers on both. They are ridiculously huge. Also, don't know if you can tell on the pics posted, but the names are actually screen printed up so high, they're partly on the collar, and a hellava lot smaller compared (as far as the usual numeral/name differential) to the numbers . I also work in screen printing, and I can tell ya, we'd never pass a shirt with it like that. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doafhat Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Earlier this year, Mercer came to Stillwater to play Oklahoma State and I noticed that while most of Mercer's uniforms had numbers like Southern Illinois' home whites, there were a couple of players that had block numbers. I don't have a picture of the block number uniforms, but here's the best example I have of what most of the Mercer players were wearing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
