J Sick Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Trying to find game action pictures but here are some pics of itMy high school had that font for our football jerseys too. It seems to have exploded in popularity, there are at least 10 high school football teams I have seen using it and a handful of basketball teams. Incidentally, my hometown is about 45min-1hr away from Mt.Pleasant so maybe its a Mid Michigan thing? I cant believe something so ugly could make the jump to college.

The 1 looks similar but is thicker than ours (I think the CMU 1 looks worse.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Whatever that font is, I'd like to see it banned permanently from all levels of sports. That font is like the Comic Sans of jerseys.No it isn't...whatever that italicized mess that Russell Athletic uses/used for the Arena League jerseys and damn near half the HBCUs is.(Honorable mention: Bodega Sans. It's all over the place in the HBCU world. And, wouldn't you know it...Russell's responsible for that, too.)Oh, you mean the "Formerly Georgia Tech Custom" font? Yeah, that can get the hell out of my sports, too. What's Bodega Sans, out of morbid curiosity?

Sodboy13 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Yeah, that's a font that never should have made its way onto more than one team's uniforms.

(And tells you pretty much all you need to know about both "templating" and current HBCU athletic aesthetics....(Not pictured in this set are the Temple Owls football uniforms from sometime in the late '90s or something like that...they too drunk the Bodega Sans Kool-aid.)EDIT: Seems San Diego State also had the Bodega thing going on for a little while: *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedPenalty Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 When I see these pictures I don't want to throw up nearly as much as I did the other night when I saw them on TV. Still, not a look I'd like to see them adopt permanently. The maroon monchrome uni is by far their best look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
