kansascityjayhawk4 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Got this pic from a buddy of mine who is an Adidas rep and has access to the new styles catalog... Looks like somewhat of a downgrade IMO, not enough red and a little bummed there's none of that classic Jayhawk logo anywhere on them. OH and I'm really praying that shorts thumbnail on the bottom right isn't implying a black alternate in the near future... Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bri1275 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 That's just a template from an adidas team catalog which is why you see different numbers and colors for schools and teams to order from.Got this pic from a buddy of mine who is an Adidas rep and has access to the new styles catalog...

Lights Out Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Kansas really needs to bring back the old Tuscan font.Either version is fine with me, as they are both VAST improvements over Trajan (a.k.a. "That Movie Poster Font.") POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Yes, full disclosure - I'm a sucker for some of the more unique classics. I love a good Tuscan font (good, as in not the ugly cartoony one that the Mets use).But let's be honest here, even Serpentine would look slightly better than that Trajan mess that Kansas uses now.

sacker12 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I agree. The switch from Jayhawk/Fancy Block to Trajan was not a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougaldo Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 They kinda mix some of their NBA designs with these college templates. Cmon, where's the rest of the catalog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just used inappropriately here. NHL 2016 by Bowen Hobbs * BOHOB's MLB Redesign Project * MiLB Re-Brands * NCAA Football Concepts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buster Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Horrible...their old font was classic. DOWNGRADE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcb05 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 This is an example of Kansas' marketing department going overboard with their new university "branding." The Trajan looks great on a simple University wordmark (www.ku.edu), but terrible on sports logos/uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
