CDixonDesign Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 The great cause sort of outweighs the aesthetics on this one, I really liked the Army camo jerseys and Helmets that Army wore last year vs. Navy, hopefully these won't look too "out of the box" for the Terps/Gamecocks...

TFoA Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 If it looks anything like Army did last year, it'll look great. Either way, it's for a great cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDixonDesign Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Maryland:South Carolina:Awesome camo cleats as well!:Exactly what I hoped it would be, both teams taking thier normal template and adding camo elements in, looks fantastic! Things like these are what make our soldiers proud, I wish teams would do more thinks like this to honor those who need our support more than anyone...

mania Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I think they mean 3 days after Veterans Day and not two days before, if they're doing it on the 14th. Off The Top Rope: A Pro Wrestling Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illini1 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Nike's camo uniforms last year are a million times better than these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I think the bigger and better question here is this: are both teams going to be wearing black jerseys? Both jerseys shown are black. Both teams also regularly sport white helmets...and pants, most of the time. And red and garnet are pretty darn similar. Hmmm.......While I can appreciate the (good cause) behind this, the execution of the design gets a big "meh" at best from me. (At the very least, they could have kept the respective teams' current number fonts...but them cleats are all kinds of cool.) But hell...if football players and plenty other regular common folk like dressing up in digicam, they may as well head on over to the nearest recruiting station, raise their right hand, and sign on the dotted line. Come on in...we got PLENTY digicam for y'all to wear!!! *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...

BigDmo Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 the flags are backwards, or on the wrong sleevesThat's on purpose. It signifies going into battle or something.

slapshot Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I know. But if it's on the right sleeve, the field of stars should be on the upper left.

They're intentionally designed as if it were blowing in the breeze.Now..as to why the flag patch is backwards on the right sleeve of that jersey above, as Slapshot just pointed out, I haven't the foggiest...especially considering that's the sleeve on which we wear our flag patches to begin with!!! *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...

Hmmm..Sure, since South Carolina's playing Florida & Maryland's playing Virginia Tech, I'm pretty sure that they won't have to worry about clashing. With that said, yeah. Kinda meh, but at least they didn't get too crazy with it. Those cleats are hot though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powersurge Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Oh dear lord.I'm all for "good causes" but this is pretty bad. They could have gone with a much better design. All in all I think it will all be forgiven because of WHY they are doing it, but in my mind its still pretty bad. Thankfully the jerseys aren't entirely in camo....that would have been terrible.
