bri1275 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I'm still trying to decide if I like the bold trajan font KU is using. I generally don't like anything other than a block font, but I'm thinking these are growing on me and it is unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koizim Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Man....those coulda been a whole lot cooler, but adidas, in a blind attempt to be the anti-Nike, decided to make them ultra-plain.

Sodboy13 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 That "5" is astoundingly poor. Though for digit wretchedness, I don't know if anything tops what I saw the Irish Rugby team wearing today.

Nomad Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I don't like rounded fonts to begin with, and this one is perhaps the least attractive of them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkshadow1031 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Why doesn't Kansas have the Jayhawk on their helmet? Something about the KU just bothers me. 2002-2006 ALUMNI 2007-2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewp80 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Yeah, Kansas sucks at everything, haha!Seriously though, the helmets don't bother me at all, but like you all said, that number font is horrible. Now I can't wait for Mizzou to kick their asses while their wearing that, even though I'm not a big fan of Missouri's uniforms either. Also, is any one else reminded of the New York Giants when you see these? Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music!

Proc Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Is it the University of Kansas or Kansas University? I've never undertood why colleges switch it up for logo's/atheletics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apeman33 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Is it the University of Kansas or Kansas University? I've never undertood why colleges switch it up for logo's/atheletics.It's the University of Kansas but it's traditional to say "KU." Just like "University of Oklahoma" and "OU."Although, Roy Williams' first set of KU basketball uniforms did say "Kansas University" on them rather than just "Kansas."The helmet's OK. The font on the jersies is going to take some getting used to, but it's not horrible.And as far as the "Giants" look goes, you shoulda seen them in the mid-80's, I think it was. They took the Jayhawk off the helmet, made the unis navy blue and put KANSAS on the helmet in Giants type.I think the last time the Jayhawk was on the helmet was 1986, give or take a year or two.

VitaminD Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Is it the University of Kansas or Kansas University? I've never undertood why colleges switch it up for logo's/atheletics.It's a Big 8 thing. Kansas became KU, Missouri became MU, Oklahoma became OU, Nebraska's NU, Colorado's CU. I never got it either, but it's fairly common.I tried buying the "Trajan Sucks" shirt, but it led to a bad PayPal link. Any suggestions? And this shirt would've been so much more versatile when Duke's highly overrated "Alaskan Assassin" was thought to be good. But that Trajan sucks, too. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17.

I never got it either, but it's fairly common.This whole grammatically-incorrect-abbreviation thing is just another example of red states being pwned by blue states. At least the IU where Bobby Knight used to coach actually is Indiana University.BACK ON TOPIC -- As for the number font, I have no problem with unusual fonts. However, Trajan isn't one that works on a football uniform.

Spearhead Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I like Kansas football and I wish they'd use the Jayhawk logo on their helmets. It is one of the best known in college sports. However, lots of KU fans don't want it on the hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
