Nomad Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 My hasty, preliminary judgment:Good: Florida State, TCU, Ohio State (With a few tweaks, I could see all of these being regular unis, although OSU would likely never go in that direction.)Fair: Florida, Miami, Missouri (Not much to say here.)Weak: LSU, Texas, Virginia Tech (I'm a lifelong Tiger fan, but not a staunch traditionalist. An alternate that breaks up the decades of monotony is fine with me. But this set needs more purple and, especially, gold. The high white socks on the model also look out of place.)

guest23 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 ok I'm pretty savy when it comes to product and promotion of products but I'm slightly confused on this one.nike is obviously promoting new uniform design and technology which makes sense...my question is who is the target consumer?..obviously football teams but at what level?my typical thinking was that nike's target market for their uniforms was high school sales but these uniforms are so ornate and complex I can't imagine reproducing these types of uniforms at the hs level would even be close to fitting into a hs budget...while the fabric and fit are "new and improved" it's the vast amount of customization, sublimation and team specific detail that would drive the cost through the roof...don't even get me started on the gloves...sure they're cool and ultra detailed but creating them must be an absolute bitch to create and costly to boot.the only thing that I can think of is that nike has found a way to manufacture and reproduce these types of uniforms at a ridiculously low price...I know that sublimation can be done in unique designs very cheaply but some of these designs look very involved.my other theory is that they are trying to market to other colleges and athletic departments have the budget to afford these.can anyone elaborate?

CDixonDesign Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I think what Nike is doing is more of a showcase of thier latest materials, equipment, abilties, etc. I think we're going to start seeing the "System of Dress" materials used alot more in many more teams next year, using the current design templates that those teams wear, I think this was just a showcase with 10 teams in a marketing showcase...

awuestenfeld Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Anyone else find it funny that Nike is unveiling these against non-Nike teams? OU/Texas Tech (Under Armour), LSU/Arkansas (Adidas), Texas/Texas A&M (Adidas), TCU/Utah (Under Armour), Ohio State/Michigan (Adidas) and on and on...

ONUV Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 nike is showing off and throwing their weight around. i think they like it that a lot of people dislike them pushing the envelop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida and FSU is the only game featuring the Pro Combat Uni's where it's nike vs nike. I'm actually suprised that they didn't make Florida's an away set so they could wear them at South Carolina (Under Armour) this saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is this concept so hard to understand?And it makes a lot of sense to debut them against UA and Adidas Schools IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshawaggie Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 The past few years I've soured on a lot of Nike's designs, but I am really enjoying most of these. The only things I don't really like it the white helmets for OSU, OK, FLA and VT. I know they are "inspired" by something they had worn historically, but they really don't fit at all. VT is the only decent one. Other than that, besides LSU looking like UW (also historical significance, I know, but it's not working for me), I think these are going to be pretty fun to see. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_RH_ Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I would assume that Mizzou will wear theirs against KU (Adidas), another instance of using them against non-Nike schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fixer Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 yep i heard kansas. im really excited to see what is on the sides of the helmet. Like in missouris-there are grey and white stripes instead of gold now, so im hoping for a white M on the side. that would be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
