tBBP Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Is it wrong to harbor some fear of what this might actually allude to?VT is a Nike-sponsored program, after all...just saying. *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...

STL FANATIC Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 So was the Hokie coach alluding to the fact that Nebraska's D should be good because they played well enough to earn their blackshirts?Or was he talking about his D and taking a shot at Nebraska?

hormone Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Was it me (or already discussed) but didn't VT wear a retro maroon helmet/gray mask with the retro whites last game?

I don't see what the big deal is. I mean, if the helmet stripes abruptly stop at the edges, and the pant stripes stop at a flat edge, then why does it THAT big of a deal if the shoulder stripes stop at a flat edge? If anything, I like the shoulder stripes this way because it creates consistency throughout the entire uniform.

Of all the "adaptions" the modern jersey cut has forced onto older design elements, this is the one that most gets under my skin. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, I like the shoulder stripes this way because it creates consistency throughout the entire uniform. (gets down and looks for cover)I disagree 100%. The helmet and pants stripes don't stop abruptly, they cover the entire length of the area they have. If they matched the jersey, the helmet stripe would have to stop halfway around the back of the helmet and the pants stripes would only go from below the belt to the top of the knee pads.The jerseys use cheapness as an excuse by following the template of the shoulder mesh. There is no reason Nike/Reebok/Adidas can't design a template that has a specific place for a shoulder stripe. Even if they can't design that, they could easily sew a thin layer of the striping over the various layers (shoulder, body, sleeves). Look at the Chargers before they destroyed their look. In throwbacks or normal unis, they never gave in to the cheapness of Reebok, and always looked good. The striping area on the linemen went all the way down to their sleeve cuffs. Jerseys get smaller and smaller every year, but even in Monday night's throwback game, not a single Charger had the white section truncate at the shoulders.

elsephen Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Pant stripes do stop abruptly. They stop going in to the tucked jersey. The helmet stripes stop going in to the rubber piece on the front and back. The half stripe, and that uniform in general is great. That helmet by itself would be ugly but it's perfect with that uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I think part of the ire of this shoulder "stripe" style is that it looks like someone just stuck three pieces of colored tape over the top of the jersey. Those don't really work with that particular jersey style (the cut, in other words).As for that second picture, there is a very easy solution: extend the shoulder stripes down to the armhole cuff. There's enough space to do that. I believe several of the NY Jets' jerseys are tailored the way I just described. I have yet to see any Colts jerseys with shoulder loops that come anywhere close to being "mostly" closed up.I've studied very closely the various jersey cuts/styles over the years, including the "sports bra" style Nike unveiled a few years ago (that has so many panels it's ridiculous). If Nike can take the time to do all that, they can take teh time to tailor shoulder loops to look like, well, shoulder loops instead of strips of tape.But...it is what it is. I don't particularly like it, but, it ain't like I can do anything about it, either. *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...
