VandyDelphia Mike Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Nice - about time that got rid of that 'stupid' looking numbers (currly font) - not a bad look - a bit too much black or is it navy blue? Welcome to a couple years ago, scout I realize UCLA went back to block numbers because they changed coaches and the coach was a former UCLA player and he wanted the team to wear something similar to what he wore as a player. However, the curly numbers seem to be more distinctive and more unique to UCLA, seeing as people still associate the numbers with UCLA football even years after the numbers were ditched.Come up with a dark blue alternate incorporating the curly numbers, if you cannot stomach the Bruins using the numbers full time. It's just a shame they are currently not actively being used. NCAA Baseball Champions | 2014, 2019 facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacker12 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I thought that they would bring back the powder blue by using the tri-color numbers. I was missing the powder blue. Also, I do miss the powder block like they used a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 These new roads are a long time coming. I'm not bothered by the lack of navy in the shoulder stripes, because they have the same lack on the homes. Thumbs up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krona Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 With the amount of grief thats dumped on the cowboys, im astonished that more folks on this board dont go after UCLA. Lets see: Royal blue, powder blue, black(wtf?) and yellow gold with basketball. Football puts out gold, navy, and powder, with yellow gold paired with the gold at some points. talk about streamlining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitedawg22 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 The change to block numbers isn't bad; it makes them look a little tougher. But the black number outline has to go, and they should switch the colors--gold numbers with the powder blue outline would look great. oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .

They've had the block numbers for a few years, and it's a navy outline, not black. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

OleSmokey Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Tennessee Volunteer fan here. Probably the reason for the navy blue outline on the numbers is for TV and announcer purposes. Back in the 90's, UT had white road unis with plain orange block numbers. Looked good, but the legendary UT football announcer John Ward had fits reading the numbers from the pressbox, and thus the black outlines were added to the road unis. Probably is part of the reasoning behind the navy outlines w/the UCLA numbers as well given the light blue is so hard to see from far away on a white uniform.

It's just a shame they are currently not actively being used.Those were my favorite of UCLA's uniforms. The curly numbers are actually the traditional numbers dating back to the 1960s and I like the navy on the away jersey. UCLA had a long history of wearing navy numbers and stripes on the away uniforms until they made this update.Here are two pictures from the 1960s to illustrate: Visit my store on REDBUBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Mts Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 The new look is okay (we'll know better when we see them in game action). Matching is always a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCLAcrew Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 UCLA's rediculous with their coloring. Two years ago they tried to "streamline" the color scheme (at least with regards to merchandizing) and made "Air Force Blue" the official Bruin blue. With all the variants on powder blue, we needed to use Air Force Blue?! *sigh* But then again UCLA is a den of bureaucratic inequity, which could explain why I'm STILL waiting for my diploma from 2005...ps. It'd be really nice if the basketball uniforms could get an update (well, it'd be REALLY nice if UCLA had a comprehensive/unified logo/uniform package for the entire athletic department). But I probably shouldn't bring that up, since they'd probably end up dressing everyone in red...Just to show no hard feelings...HOW'S 'BOUT AN 8-CLAP!?*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*clap*U...C...LLLLLLLLLLLLL,A!U-C-L-A-FIGHT-FIGHT-FIGHT!

SportsmanTO Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I like the new look. The only quible is the dark blue outline on the numbers. Either add the dark blue to the shoulder stripes or take the dark blue out of the number outline.Either way I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCScout76 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Sorry Discriminator,I am behind in my uniforms, but hey, I don't follow the PAC10 - I see on their site the numbers, they are better!Better than these - see belowThanks for the Update Discriminator & MinjaiI see that they were the traditional numbers, sorry I did not mean to tread on sacred ground - the newer font is much better IMO.But hey, I am a traditionalist and what's good for the Bruins is good for the world Kansas City Scouts (CHL) Orr Cup Champions 2010, 2019, 2021 St. Joseph Pony Express (ULL) 2023 Champions Kansas City Cattle (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hormone Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I wish they'd go back to the blue mask and can the gray one now...UCLA confuses me. What are the school colors? It seems like the football and basketball programs wear nothing alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk36 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I agree that the black outline should either be used throughout or not at all. I actually liked that UCLA was baby blue at home and navy away. Both were used well. This is just too busy. Not an improvement at all. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranium Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Slightly off topic, but it is about UCLA football . . . Didn't UCLA use to have the lettering on their helmet resemble the font style used by the NY Giants and Illinois football during the mid-1980s? I looked at the Helmet Project and noticed that it wasn't represented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I would have thought that the Helmet Project would reflect that design, if they had worn it.At least a reference to it.

I must be confusing them with another school. My memory is getting fuzzier and fuzzier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
