AndrewG70 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I liked these except for the fact that black is not one of WVU's colors... Perhaps that's why the uniform is navy blue (a very dark shade of navy blue, for that matter)...

Sport Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 He's right. Those are black and the fact that everyone is having such a hard time telling the difference shows how silly they really were (or are. Is WVU still wearing them?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockey week Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Dark on dark typically looks very good. It's a clean and tasteful look as opposed to the usual chunky numbers that scream out.You mean like they're supposed to? Numbers aren't there just to be there. They have a purpose and in sports like football and hockey they're essential to player identification. It makes sense to have them "scream out".yeah, those numbers are essential for commentators, public address announcers, statisticians, etc. Even sleeve numbers. Nobody really thinks about those 4" numbers until you really need them. If they're light-on-light, or dark-on-dark (like Niagara University likes to do, purple outlined in silver on black...freaking brutal), it becomes very difficult to do a good job. Aesthetics take a back seat to functionality here, though it should never be forgotten. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aesthetics take a back seat to functionality here, though it should never be forgotten.I can attest to that. I do the radio for Freed-Hardeman Univ., and our girls recently got black away jerseys with maroon numbers and white outline. They are awful, but they're not nearly as bad as half of the other teams in the conference. There's one team (Trevecca Nazarene?) has black roads with purple numbers and Vegas gold trim. They're nearly impossible to read.Also, I went to tonight's Grizz/Clippers game and sat in the upper deck. I must say, the Clips' new numbers, both font and color, are hard to read from a distance. (I had to identify Chris Kamen by his bald spot.) That blue and red are too close in value. Either a thicker numeral/white outline or white numerals would fix it.

YELDARBfield Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 If you sit in the upper deck of any sporting event you're going to have trouble identifying the playersIf one pays any money to sit anywhere in a moderately-sized basketball arena, they should be able to see numbers on the backs of the players. I could see the Grizzlies' numerals plain as day. However, if I didn't know the obvious physical differences between Blake Griffin and Chris Kaman, I would've confused them based on not being able to tell the difference between a 35 and a 32. While it was mainly the font, the values of the red and blue didn't help at all. Twitter • Facebook • Instagram • LinkedIn • Tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nash61 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 If you sit in the upper deck of any sporting event you're going to have trouble identifying the playersThe problem is that most broadcast booths (in hockey arenas at least) are above the nosebleeds. At Copps Coliseum, you have to climb a set of stairs that extend from the top row of the upper bowl. We're three stories above ice level.
