Trident M Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 A closer look at the men's and women's basketball jerseys. The basic design of the men's jerseys is the same, just with the new font. I can't believe Nike didn't get rid of that stupid Chevron collar. But the design of the shorts is still great: Mariners | Sounders FC | Seahawks | Washington State Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalktoChuck Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I really like these uniforms, except for the dark gray logo on the light gray helmet for the alternate jersey. I think these would look even better if they just went with one (the light shade) gray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burgundy Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I can see that this new matte helmet fad is really gonna start turning annoying in a hurry. I already hate matte football pants (look cheap) now I gotta look at matte helmets (look stupid, ugly and cheap)?Except that these helmets aren't matte, they're just non-metallic. There's clearly a gloss on there.Overall, it looks pretty good. Like others have said, the dark gray is completely unnecessary, and the crimson numbers get lost on the gray, but other than that, I like it.

gdu Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 template is pretty nice. The grey/grey/black combo looks TERRIBLE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrich11 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 More images:The home football unis are good, except the helmet is screaming for a red mask. The away unis are ok, too, but when I see these two side-by-side they don't look like they are the same team at all. The all-greys?

JaxNoles Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 If there isn't one, we really need a thread of equipment truck pics. I've never seen one that wasn't impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeauxColonels Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I absolutely LOVE this look:I think the shade of grey they used is perfect. It's unique. And I really don't think those helmets have that much of a matte look when compared with the Missouri Pro-Combat helmets from 2 years ago.I would love to see my alma mater go to helmets this color versus the silver ones we have now.

scottysprings Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 These would be ok if it wasn't for the two shades of gray. Honestly, Nike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvko Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Can't wait for all-gray Seriously though, these are quite nice. You know what they say, "Traditionalist's can go die in a hole if they don't like it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONUV Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 i like, then again I'm a fan of matte. they could have done a matte helmet on the alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Both ASU and WSU referred to their athletes wanting black. This BFBS trend isn't something Nike is forcing on schools, its being driven by current fashion and the athletes are all about it. If the athletes want it then the schools want it, because they want the athletes to want them. And Nike wants to make things athletes want because they are in the business of selling this stuff to . . . athletes. And sports fans. And as someone who has staunchly defended Oregon's sports uniforms forever, it is kinda vindicating to see these teams in our own conference roll out with these copycat schemes. Don't get me wrong, each of these are very unique designs and clearly unique to the school wearing them. But the elements in each of them are all things that Oregon did first in the conference. Matte helmets? Oregon did it first. Matte pants? Oregon did it first. Black alternates? Oregon did it first. Anthracite? Grey on grey helmet? Oregon first. Ditching a cartoon logo for a streamlined modern "icon"? Oregon again.These schools clearly want to find some success in a crowded college sports world. And when you can't do "we're Ohio St, or Texas, or USC, or Florida, or ___________" and our tradition and name is all we need, you've got to turn to something else. The next most successful and visible model is what Oregon is doing. And in a way, what Miami and VTech have done in the past as well. Nike was HUGE for those schools, and now teams are lining up for a makeover. Me next!!!!Aesthetically, I really like what WSU has here. I'm glad they didn't ditch the Cougar head logo. I'm glad they darkened the grey and chose to play it up across all their sports. Its the most unique thing they have going for them. The football unis are a 5000% upgrade over what they had last season. The number font is good. I love the grey basketball uni, but they also need a crimson one eventually. All in all, very good for a school that always looks terribly out of place as soon as kickoff happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew22 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Because USC and UCLA can rely on tradition. Like he said. He makes a valid arguement. There seems to be a lot of over the top Nike hate. Eagles/Heels/Dawgs/Falcons/Hawks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Let's not get confused...fashion trends are not the same as transcendent aesthetics. Oregon (and its group of followers) is banking on fashion trends. Doesn't mean they look good. Bell-bottoms, acid-washed jeans and Zubaz were fashion trends too. There's a reason why black men's suits have stood the test of time. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.
