vmd9 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I think I finally get it. There is no way for a team to add black without it being considered BFBS.Okay carry on.I'm on your side. I've never been a fan of all the crying about black and hate how often the BFBS thing is thrown around here. Actually I hate the term all together but whatever...I've always seen it as if a team has black anywhere, I don't care if its a logo, or piping, striping, whatever...a black jersey is allowed. If a team like SMU or Oakland A's just randomly out of no where shows up in a black jersey it's dumb. But when someone says a team like Oregon or the Cardinals or even the Eagles, can't wear black it's just ridiculous.If ASU has officially said it is a school color, they are allowed to wear black. Argument over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 Teams have a right to wear BFBS, and we have a right to criticize them for it. Personally, I don't hate all BFBS, but that doesn't change the fact that it's done to hop on a passing trend. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdu Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 It was still officially added therefore by everyone's reasoning, it is NOT BFBSIt was added to the athletic color pallette (not the official school one) and it doesn't in any way compliment the original colors (which were also kept) and it was only done to look cool and sell merchandise.

Argument over!Maybe I am missing it, but where is the black in ASU's logo, piping or striping before?That is the definition of BFBS.And, Oregon, really?That is the same thing as the Oakland A's adding it to their color pallette.

Argument over!Agreed, I've heard the BFBS moniker thrown out there for the Eagles alternate as well, and it's pretty rediculous. Clearly, black is the secondary color for the Eagles following their most recent modernization, even though it functions as an accent color, it's used more than the shade of charcoal that they have. There is no reason why a black alternate in this case is BFBS. Same goes for the Cardinals, and even teams like the Ravens and Jaguars, although those 2 teams had/have monochrome black sets that end up looking terrible. BFBS is most common at the high school level because of the craze for "blackouts". It also happens in college, as has been proven here, ASU, SMU, etc. But is UGA breaking out a black alternate 3 times BFBS? Absolutely not, the schools colors are red and black. Thankfully there are not many BFBS offenders on the professional level, the A's are an excellent example, and the Islanders look like they might pull the same stunt with an upcoming alternate.

The picture you posted was from a while ago - look at OSU's bras. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Brave-Bird 08 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 In Idaho's defense, black is a part of their color scheme.FIU is navy blue and gold...so black should have never entered the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I don't know why, but I hate "I" logos.Yeah, I have ran into this problem in brainstorming ideas for an Illinois helmet which doesn't suck as much as their current one. It's hard seeing as it can't be "hostile and abusive" anymore. "I" logos pretty much all suck and fit poorly on helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BFBS crowd is no longer trying to argue that black is a sign of an "elite" program.that should have been the first idea to get blown downThe only good thing about those unis is that they at least had the sense to not go with navy numbers. Most of these teams randomly adding black go with dark numbers and it just looks awful (Washington, WKU, Florida State). It's also the only thing Arizona State got right with their black jerseys.And also, it still bugs me, so I'm going to mention it again: Why doesn't Arizona State (any of their teams shown in the rebrand) have gold jerseys?! It's so obvious and still blows my mind that it wasn't done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell were they thinking? This is laugable considering anyone who knows anything about color matching knows one of the first rules is that black and navy NEVER go together. I always hated the Blue Jackets old alternate, and Butler's basketball uniforms are atrocious. But this pic shows BFBS at its absolute worst. Dribbble ...
