walkerws Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I read on another (non-CCSLC) sports message board, someone commented on how bad the uniforms were in this game.Am I correct that each team only has one uniform? (No road whites)? Or was it someone's bright idea that a silver jersey would be ok as a home uniform against a white jersey?They have dark and white jerseys, it's just thVegas should never wear their homes anymore at all. It's too light and then they went with white numbers that look ridiculous. I ee them being copper ad brick red next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcameronh Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Are these uniforms they have now just for this "Premiere Season"? I think that is what I heard just so they don't put all kinds of money in to uniforms and not have this league work out. The may have new teams next year and new uniforms for every team. Also I didn't have that much trouble seeing the difference b/w the two teams myself but yes they could have done a bit more the LV uni's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honolulu Blue Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 The unis are bad, but thankfully, just for a season. That being said, I am a Redwoods season ticket holder. 3 games for $45 not bad. And for me, memories of The Hell Hole from 7 1/2 years ago. As long as it is the San Francisco Redwoods next year when an LA team comes to fruition. Would've loved to see Demons returned though.I'll see you there.Got my season tickets and I'm ready to go next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Yep - they're allowing each team's look to grow organically. Think they're keeping the logos, but each team will have the opportunity to change its colors. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

gosioux76 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 But I'm bothered most by Las Vegas' helmets. Would it be so hard to give them a blue facemask? And they'd be better off putting that ridiculous Locos word mark on the front of the helmet or not using it at all. It sure doesn't look right on the sides.That's a good point - they could have done a really great Tusker-style thing with a cowcatcher. Not necessarily that bad logo, but a real cowcatcher.That's sort of what I envision. If the XFL had any redeeming qualities, it was their helmet designs. I actually liked the Birmingham Bolts, which shifted the center of focus from the side of the helmet to front and center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And excluding Memphis and Orlando, the XFL had an excellent fusion of modern and classic elements going on in their uniforms.

Dedalvs Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Yep - they're allowing each team's look to grow organically. Think they're keeping the logos, but each team will have the opportunity to change its colors.Thank goodness. I guess from a financial standpoint, I can see why they'd do what they're doing (thanks to dcameronh on this point), provided the loss in jersey/cap/t-shirt sales offsets what it would have cost them to expand their color palette. I think the major mistake they've made is allowing Las Vegas's home uniforms to be light gray, while the standard away uniform is white (and for this first game, at least, it didn't help that California's helmets are white and Las Vegas's are grey, with white facemasks for both. I'm surprised California's helmets aren't green...).Dimming the green and changing the grey to a reddish brown would certainly help California's logo, and making the battlepig any other color than gray would do wonders for the Tuskers' logo. I guess we'll have to wait a year and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sigepraider Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 You can watch the game here http://www.fanhouse.com/ufl-live/7040 if anyone really wants to. Tuskers are wearing blue helmet, blue jersey, black pants w/green and white stripe blue socks. Sentinels are wearing black helmet, white jersey w/black yoke, silver pants w/green stripe with black socks. For some reason I cant find the style guide, so this may already be common knowledge. Anyway, it honestly doesn't look that bad IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of your 200 or so logos, how many are actually worthy of being considered a distinguishable logo? Out of the all the logos you've listed, I've bolded three that have glaring issues and are not that illustrative or creative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winters in buffalo Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 So, I'm watching the Florida - Las Vegas game and can say one thing with absolute certainty... the uniforms are almost as good as the talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Can't believe how mismatched Florida's helmet is from the jersey.
