thespleenenator Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 A few things I noticed about the new team builder:1. Army has an option for an all black helmet.2. It seems they've kept all of the pro combats throughout the years.3.Boston College has a gold alt. Also, they removed the shoulder eagle and replaced it with some weird pattern.4.South Carolina has changed Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me. I cry tears.Chopping off the dicks of Filipino boys and embracing causes that promote bigotry =/= strong moral character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 weirdest thing is Washington State having "grey" and "silver" jersey and pants options, while EA got the helmets wrong. EA Sports..also, not really uni related, but it appears from the demo that EA just threw dreadlocks on random players. I'd almost rather have it with no hair then hair on guys who dont have hair. they always find a way to do something really stupid.itll be a biotch trying to edit out everything, considering im OCD about the authenticity of my game. oh well.

nuordr Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I actually liked those uniforms for Kentucky. The solid blue helmet was great. I'm going to have to get used to the white stripe, but I'll definitely welcome the new uniforms with open arms. Great update for them, but they have not looked bad in a while.As far as Kentucky, I do not like the white stripe on the helmet, but I do like the new home and road look overall. I love the checkerboard on the away jersey and the stripe on the back and side of the pants. Looking forward to seeing these guys this season (season ticket holder here). I am also torn on bringing back the white helmet, however, since it will only be used on the road I can deal with it more. Here are some better pictures for your viewing pleasure. Season ticket holder too and I HATE these. I cant believe guys on here actually like these things. CHECKER BOARD!? Remind you of anything???Why not hounds tooth?And single white stripe followed by checkerboard then single white stripe on blue pants double on white. And the WRAP around stripe from jake ass adidas circa 1990's NCState...really? Its a hodge podge mess in my opinion, worst in the league for quite some time now. And no blue face mask ug, cant we do anything right in football?Yeah it reminds me of a certain horse that won the Kentucky Derby and the Triple Crown the year I was born....Secretariat! That is what the checkerboards are paying homage too. Here are some more pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRice16 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 fantastic look for the Cats! But, I've always disliked how Kentucky and Tennessee both claim ownership of the checkerboard pattern, considering they are rivals with only a few hours of interstate 75 seperating them.Tennessee has been using the checkerboard endzones since the 1960s (though they were not used in the early 80's). Kentucky has been using checkerboards as trim since 2008. Not much of a competition there.Personally, I believe Kentucky added them to their football uniform to pay tribute to our 26-year winning streak over them. Makes sense.

Here are some more pics:I know the Secretariat tie in, kinda like how Toronto ended up with the Raptors, piggie backing off a movie, cheep and lame stunt. Go to the Horse Park and look at Secretariats nice cute little statue and then turn around and look at a real statue, Man O War, Lexington's horse. I just cant get rockie top out of my head looking at these...plus Secretariat was blue and white checkers, not blue on blue...like I said, hounds tooth would have been less obvious...At least there is the possibility of the true Kentucky football uniform...White helmet, Blue jersey and White pants...thank the dear Lord.

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Doesn't the basketball team use a checkerboard look on their shorts also? All in all I think it looks pretty sharp, even if it does remind UK fans of Tennessee. But hey, on the bright side UK fans, at least you know it's gonna piss off UT fans. I'm sure they'll growl and say checkerboards are their thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the monochrome look, however, they need to change the color of the helmet because those blues do not match. They kind of look like those hideous uniforms the Minnesota Vikings used to wear.

GeauxColonels Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 FCS is missing a few SLC teams for logos. Weird.Doesn't surprise me. EA pays little attention to FCS save for the Ivy League, MEAC, SWAC, CAA and Big Sky. The logo they have for McNeese is now an outdated logo. Glad to see they have an updated Nicholls State logo, though. From what I can see, they're missing logos for Central Arkansas, Lamar and Southeastern Louisiana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRice16 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 On a serious note, I do like these.Still, whatever Nike's inspiration, I think of I was a Kentucky fan, I wouldn't like it that a key design element of a rival school's identity is on my uniforms. I said the same thing when they added them to the UK Basketball uniforms. It would be like us adding houndstooth trim to our uniforms and justifying it by putting up a picture of General Neyland wearing it (which he did while beating Bear Bryant when the Bear was at UK).

Red Wolf Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Well, my school is better than your school at athletics, academics, and number of attractive females, so there!But does your school have ownership over "The?" Ignoring whether Kentucky fans are pissed or Tennessee fans are annoyed or whatever, I really like the new Kentucky uniforms. Also, they're not going to have "Kentucky" on the back are they? That's just a weird unveiling thing, right? Please... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
