MJWalker45 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 the new umterps football website has a feature photo of a few players, one of them holding the helmet...and it's black.So EA :censored:ed up. What else is new? Maryland is one bullet point on a long list of schools whose uniforms EA has screwed up. They're too busy putting in dreadlocks, cannons and pylon physics to get the schools' details right or (more importantly) get the gameplay right/not put out a glitch-filled game.To be fair with Maryland, the word is that the helmet design that Maryland's going to reveal in a little while is not what they had originally planned to go with. EA put some photos out that showed a black helmet with a "MARYLAND" wordmark as the decal (there were some Maryland promotional photos that showed a similar design as well), and the design was pretty widely hated by the fanbase. It appears they pulled that design back and opted to come up with a new one, which almost certainly didn't get to EA in time to make it into the game. And given the choice between giving a team a helmet that they've used previously or a helmet that they thought about using but will never actually see the light of day, going with the old helmet seems logical to me.That's probably the same reason why Arizona's uniforms were screwed up in last year's game since the differences between the real uniform and the game uniform are minor. That doesn't explain, however, why the uniforms are still wrong in this year's game.Arizona's unis looked correct to me, the Wildcat still wore the previous uni though. They have both the new and old unis available to wear on 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy B Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 So am I being to much of a homer to pissed that Illinois didn't make the cut?Unfortunately, yes, and I'm in the same boat. Arizona and Illinois are both on the list of Nike schools that are highly unlikely to get one of those Pro Combat uniforms anytime soon.Maybe your schools should win a conference title, at least one BCS bowl, and become relevant if you want Nike to do something special for them.Illinois is arguably only the third most-popular football program in the state, possibly fourth when Northwestern is having one of their winning flukes, and they keep rewarding Ron Zook for the occasional magical .500 conference record. They barely deserve the crap they're wearing now, much less a specialized, team-specific design.Notre Dame and...? Did the Maroons come back or did I miss something? Who else would be ranked ahead of them? Illinois isn't a big college football state to begin with, but yes, Illinois has struggled of late (since the Great Depression) and doesn't really get covered in the media as a Chicago team, so they don't have the biggest fanbase. Northwestern has almost no fanbase to speak of, but the media orgasms whenever they have a winning record and talks about them as the little engine who could. Anyway, I am now confident Illinois is on the path to mediocrity since they hired competant coordinators and told Zook to sit in the corner and look pretty while they run the show. Besides, it probably would have made matters worse to fire Zook before last season because 1) It would given AD Ron Guenther a third chance to have a failed football hire, and 2) Guenther was a year away from retirement anyway, so it was best to let the new AD bring in his own people.Oh, and I am thrilled Illinois hasn't gotten Pro Combat uniforms. The crap they wear now is terrible, but it's far better than any pro combat trash Nike has thrown out.I wouldn't mind if Illinois got a Pro Combat uniform. But they're still another lucky Rose Bowl appearance away from making that happen. I think the if they got Pro Combats Nike would go the throwback route or at least be throwback-inspired. The one-game Pro Combats are pretty hit-or-miss to me so I'd be willing to take the chance and hope Illinois got something good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Even if a pro combat uniform were "throwback-based" like OSU's have been, they would still be terrible. I don't want truncated pant strips which also wrap around the back of the leg. That looks like . As a traditionalist, I would rather see garish modern crap than "square peg/round hole" pants stripes or Colts-type shoulder stripes which look more like chevrons, especially because the manufacturer decided to make the hole round for no reason even though it doesn't provide performance benefits.

Billy B Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Not all the Pro Combat jerseys stop the stripe in the middle of the pants. Oregon State had normal striping last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I stand corrected. Even though they would be in an asinine template with about 20 unnecessary seams, Pro Combat versions of the throwbacks the Illini wore in 2008 would be welcome.

They have both the new and old unis available to wear on 360.Yeah, Wilbur's jersey is wrong, but the team's uniforms are incorrect. IRL, the facemask on the white helmet is white, the sleeve cuffs are solid color, not two-tone, and there's no block A logo on the pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also they got Washington's new home uniforms with the piping wrong (left in the old one without piping). What's ironic is they had Jake Locker, WEARING THE NEW HOME UNIFORM IN STUDIO FOR THE COVER SHOOT, and they didn't even update the uniform.Another year, another half-assed effort by EA to be "authentic" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's a reach, but I do see about as much NIU gear when I'm in Chicago as I do for the Illini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylenotryan Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Hawaii just unveiled their new football uniforms:http://hawaiiathletics.com/news/2011/7/21/FB_0721111253.aspxOnly the home blacks and away whites are shown. Looks just like what they have on NCAA 12. It's better than I expected, but I still dislike the constrasting piping on the dark jerseys and pants. It's growing on me, and I think I may like it better than the previous UA uniforms (but I still prefer Nike's design). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Notre Dame and...? Probably Michigan or Iowa. I think Ohio State might be seen as too gauche, but for some reason those two teams seem to be, well, somewhat popular.

tBBP Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 And Arizona is only memorable for Mike Bibby and now Derrick Williams. Notice that they're both basketball players. Arizona football hasn't been relevant since 1994. If they didn't play in the PAC-12 (aka the Nike conference) they'd be wearing a generic ripoff of either Missouri or the Denver Broncos.Teddy Bruschi, Chris Mccalister, Gronkowski...obviously not a football powerhouse, but good NFL players right there.Also Arenas went to Arizona.What...no mention of Ortege Jenkins? *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...

Just saw the local news story on it and they mentioned that the green set will come later. Odd, since Coach McMackin was initially verbal about returning to a predominantly green scheme. I'd prefer the green uniforms as the main home unis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
