Still MIGHTY Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 http://thesundevils.cstv.com//allaccess/index.html?media=240332This video is on the opening of the ASU Athletics website.From there you can almost infer that the rumored black uniform will be seen, and at the end of the video with the silhouette of the pitchfork that what I said a while back is true. The pitchfork will become the main focus of the athletic branding.It says April 2011. So, sometime soon here, we'll see a full reveal. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottysprings Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I definitely prefer these style numbers for TCU-Seems like TCU's athletics department is really buying into Nike's latest offerings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I think the new numbers and keeping the same Pro Combat unis from last year, TCU look pretty good. They lose the Horned Frog from the helmet but he's now on the pants by himself. They still look pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdu Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 All I know is that those collars better still have that triangle pattern on them. If they don't, the whole thing is a downgrade in my book. Aaand...upon closer inspection, I really can't tell on the black or purple jersey, but it's at least noticeable on the white one: single-color numbers. (But did they have to go with the Pitt RPC numbers???)The collars didn't have the triangle pattern last season.I think the chest and back numbers are outlined, but I could be wrong.Also, the numbers aren't the same as Pitt's and will be exclusive to TCU.

I'm not sure why everyone blames these uniforms on Nike. In most cases the school works with Nike to design them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cap sleeves may make it seem so, but they aren't. The differences will become more apparent with better pictures.Also, the frog was on the pants of the last 2 pro comabt rivalry uniforms.

southpawstu19 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 while nike can get a bit excessive, i do credit them with some amazing number designs, and this one can be added as well. is it me or are those helmets matte purple? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I don't mind the uniforms themselves (that is, the contrasting sleeve/no-frog-on-helmet) thing, but the loss of the triangle pattern + hackneyed number font = downgrade to me. Exclusivity in uniform design is one thing; it's quite another for it to actually look, well, good. And those numbers are messing the whole thing up for me. *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...
WSU151 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 while nike can get a bit excessive, i do credit them with some amazing number designs, and this one can be added as well. is it me or are those helmets matte purple?I'd like to see better shots of the helmet too. I can't tell if it's matte, or heavy duty metallic finish. Also not sure about the thick black stripe...does it taper in the back like PC (or new Mich State) helmet? I think it'd look better without the stripe.The uniforms themselves are a minor upgrade (IMO) from last year's non-PC set, but overall, a huge upgrade from the shadow-numbered set of ~ 1998-2009. If anything, the new set is modern but not hideous, which is good. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, the new set is modern but not hideous, which is good.FWIW, TCU dropped the screen printed shadow blocked numbers after the 2006 season. Nike requested they use the top of the line unis which led to the move to outline block tackle twill numbers. The trianlge trim remained the same. the frog head on the collar was replaced with an arched TCU and the tcu numbers moved fromt he shoulders to the sleeves and the arched TCU on the sleeves was deleted.1998-2003(Russell):2004-2006(Nike):2007-2009:2010: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Number font is stupid. Needlessly "unique" just to look different. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnySeoul Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I know others absolutely hate when teams use camoflauge (though I think some websites just hate anything Nike), but I really like these multicam Ohio State helmets. Plus, the proceeds are actually going to good things.As an active duty veteran of 14yrs and counting....I'm all for it.

WSU151 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 gdu - thanks for the photos. My memory failed me as I could have sworn the shadow block was on the unis thru 2009...I stand corrected.

tBBP Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Looks like my guess was correct about the white jerseys...single-color numbers. Still not understanding the notched numbers, though. And good gosh...can those collars get any fatter? *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...

TFoA Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I'm not sure why everyone blames these uniforms on Nike. In most cases the school works with Nike to design them.It's a cop-out. People love to get on Nike whenever something crazy pops up on the college football landscape, but conveniently forget to point out that most of the classier looking teams in college football are outfitted by Nike. If you're gonna blame anybody for a team looking like crap, blame the school for A-OK'ing the idea...however:TCU doesn't look like crap, instead they've got themselves a nice look going on. I'm gonna miss the frog, but I do like the scales that they sublimated into the helmet, & I'm sure the numbers will grow on me. I hoped that they would've gone with a purple version of the jerseys they wore for the Rose Bowl, but these are alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
