cubsfan07 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Iowa and Purdue are supposed to debut new SOD basketball uniforms this Saturday night in Iowa City. Has anyone seen these yet? I think it was brought up here a while ago and it is discussed on the Iowa basketball forum, but no pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cianfrocco Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 While I am not a real fan of SOD, I do welcome the change. The thing about the current set that I never liked was the numbers. They always struck me as looking like those on a NASCAR hood. The one good thing about SOD is that the designs are for the most part simple, but the shorts look absolutely rediculous with tight jerseys.

benkel579 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Somebody at Iowa leaked their new designs...here they are.I, for one, like them overall...not a big fan of the non-matching fonts on the home and away jerseys, but LOVE the shorts design.

Yac12 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I like the shorts. I don't like the black numbers on a black jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black on black numbers. Too hard to read and lacks pop. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eRay Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 What is up with those collars? And why Black on Black? And why is one wordmark straight across while the other is arched? And why is the number font italicized? Other than those questions, I think these are amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than those questions, I think these are amazing.I would agree with all of those questions, I think these would be great with regular numbers, IOWA straight across both, and without the black on black.

Other than those questions, I think these are amazing.I hate it when they have the same color as the jersey as the main color of the number outlined by another color. Oh and what exactly are NASCAR fonts?! Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all the NCAA regulations, I am surprised that contrasting numbers has never been instituted as a rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Color-on-color works if the outline is good and thick. Unfortunately, more often than not, that's not the case. I feel bad for anyone trying to cover K-State during the Huggy Bear era, with black on purple or purple on black with painfully thin outlines.These new Iowa shorts though... very cool. Can't wait to see the Boilers.
