chestnutz Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I know I'm going to be virtually raped, but I like 'em. As a once a year, ASG event uniform, they should be over the top and I think they pretty cool. But I can't imagine how hard it's gonna be for the players to distinguish who's who. erikas | go birds | dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am certain it was not just a coincidence that all these Nike programs went to solid numbers on their basketball threads in 2007. Anyway, Rule 3, Section 5, Article 8 covers the number style rules, at least for basketball.Art. 8. Each team member?s game jersey shall be numbered on the front andback with plain Arabic numerals.a. The following numbers are legal: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 00, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14,15, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45,50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55. Team rosters can include 0 or 00 but not both.b. The numbers on the front and back of the game jersey shall be of thesame color and style.c. The number shall be at least 6 inches high on the back and at least 4inches high on the front and not less than 3/4-inch in width.d. Numbers shall be centered on the front and back of game jerseys.e. The style of the number shall be clearly visible and conform to thefollowing:1. A solid color with no more than two solid 1/4-inch borders. Whenthe game jersey color is used as the solid color of the number, itshall be bordered with no more than two 1/4-inch solid border(s)that contrast the game jersey color.2. The combination of the number and borders cannot exceed threedifferent colors. When the game jersey color is used as a border oras the number itself, it shall be counted as one of the permitted threecolors.3.

It answers why there's no off-centered "baseball" style scripts on NCAA jerseys.I also find it interesting that they govern so much about the numbers (widths, number of borders, shadows, etc.) but have no legislation regarding the legibility of fonts used. Those early '90s 'Nova fonts were a nightmare. "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

SabreGuy Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Sadly they are not any worse than I expected. This is what the Pro Bowl does. Ugly uniforms with too many elements crammed on too small a space. Honestly I only would have been shocked if the designs had been simple and spartan.
