The Danimal Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 As far as I can tell, Texas and FSU are the only two big-time college football teams that don't use the sewn-on numbers but still have them screen-printed onto the mesh jerseys. When you see old highlights, the printed numerals were very common but almost all teams these days go to the sewn ones.Does anybody know why these two haven't converted over?

sacker12 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 i believe Miami's are screened on too. And Illinois' were until recently.Miami, Texas, Florida St., and Fresno St. (among others) all have porthole mesh fabric jerseys. It would be really hard for the stitches of the sewn-on numbers to hold well enough for them to not get knocked off. So, they all have screen-printed numbers instead of twill numbers.

lilgump Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I thought that miami had nike's stretch twill numbers thingy? The World Basketball Championship, the Davis Cup, Ryder Cup, Iraq: Every day there's further proof that we, as a nation, are not very good at international competition.

TheOldRoman Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 i believe Miami's are screened on too. And Illinois' were until recently.You are half right about Illinois. The most recent garbage Nike fitted them with, which was of a quality deserving of a high school freshman team, used screened numbers, along with a very thin material with large holes that were nearly see through.However, the unis Illinois wore before that (ending with the Kittner era), which are some of the all time best, IMO, were of very high quality. Not only were the numbers and letters sewn on, but the materials used were much better than with the next set. They had mesh over the entire shoulder instead of the pseudo-raglan crap Nike makes now, and the material wasn't see through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpawstu19 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 miami uses tackle twill, it is not screen printed, it is the same material that florida, michigan, and vt use considering all those jerseys are made with the same material Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iowahoo Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I beileve auburn has the screen printed numbersI think Clemson also has screened on numbers and screened on paws on the shoulders. My 'assumption' would be that these teams in the warmer weather have larger sized holes in their mesh making it easier to screen the numbers on.

Discrim Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Clemson's got different unis now, and the paws are on the sleeves now instead of the shoulders. it looks to me they're sewn on now.

OnWis97 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Wisconsin had screened number for years and maybe still does. But this year, on TV, they appear that they may be stitched...

Mingjai Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Michigan didn't have twill numbers in 2004-2005:BYU went totally '80s when the made the retro switch last year, even ditching the twill numbers for shiny, cheap-looking, silk screened/heat transferred numbers. I was hoping they'd go to twill this year, but apparently they seem to think that the resulting weight reduction/better aerodynamics gives them an on field advantage.EDIT: Looking at the above picture got me thinking that TCU's are not twill as well--sure enough, they aren't.

Chazberg Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I'm pretty sure Iowa still screens their numbers on, and possibly Northwestern too. I know they for sure did up til 1 or 2 years ago. charles-noerenberg.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
