Jahgee Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 What.I think it means if you want to talk about Black Jerseys when Black isn't one of your colors, talk about it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Overall it's pretty stupid I think... especially when a team like Florida St who has a somewhat classic look does it.I think black jerseys can look awesome, but I much prefer it when black is actually one of the team's colors. That being said, I don't think its as much of a big deal as some people do. The Uni Watch guy, I know his head basically explodes when he see's BFBS. Or so it seems.

BigDmo Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 If there is black in the logo, I don't see why it becomes BFBS(clarification before ya'll jump down my throat, I am NOT talking about Oregon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knnhrvy16 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Hate it. The ONLY instance I have ever liked was the Jazz alts of the early 2000's. Not so much out of homerism, but because I love how copper was used so prominently (black and copper are a fantastic combo). Aside from that, not one BFBS design has ever looked good to me. This includes even random black accents (see New York Knicks or Minnesota North Stars, for example).EDIT: IDK if this was meant to only pertain to college football, and if so I apologize. I'm just saying that in general, in any sport, it doesn't fare too well with me). The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida State is endorsed by the Seminole Nation who allows them to use the name, etc. The colors of the Seminole Nation are red, yellow and BLACK. Just because Florida State didn't use black until recently, it is part of their identity since they are endorsed by the Seminole Nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazerBlaze Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 And what about UGA? The student paper is called the "Red and BLACK" Dont think they did it just for BFBS. Like wise down here in Valdosta. Our defence is called the Black Swarm so I find nothing wrong with us wearing Black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmhtfld Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 My opinion on it, is, if black was not used conistantly in the past on the logos or uniforms then they should never add black to their uniform or logo.Heres a list of all the D1 colleges. The ones with a check are the teams that have a history of having black in their uniform or logos and therefore should not be BFBS.-Oklahoma Sooners-Ohio State Buckeyes ✓-Penn State Nittany Lions -Texas Longhorns -Boise State Broncos -Michigan Wolverines -Alabama Crimson Tide -Nebraska Cornhuskers-Notre Dame Fighting Irish -Tennessee Volunteers ✓-Southern California Trojans -Georgia Bulldogs✓ -Florida Gators -Florida State Seminoles-Miami (FL) Hurricanes -Auburn Tigers -Louisiana State Tigers-Arizona State Sun Devils-Miami (OH) RedHawks✓-U.C.L.A.

Gothamite Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 If there is black in the logo, I don't see why it becomes BFBS(clarification before ya'll jump down my throat, I am NOT talking about Oregon)Wisconsin has prominently used black in its logo since at least the 1940s. Certain players wore black helmets in the 1960s. If the Badgers came out with a black alt tomorrow, it'd still be BFBS. If merchandising concerns drive a school/team to adopt black uniforms, especially an existing group that hasn't worn black in any significant way before, that's the definition of BFBS.

MJWalker45 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 If black is in your color scheme than it's not BFBS. But if Ohio State rolled out a black uni, it would look awful because it's not Ohio State's main color, only an accent color. But the way Oregon rolls out new unis every two years is just as bad as Adidas handing out new basketball unis every year. It creates no consistency in a uniform scheme.

LetsGoOakland9 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I usually don't like BFBS, but my high school's team went BFBS this year, and all the players were really excited to wear all black. They ended up upsetting a previously undefeated team in the last regular season game of the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 If black is used already somewhere in the logo/uniforms, then it's all about how it's used. As mentioned, Wisconsin doesn't use it enough in the look. If they came out with a black jersey it would be BFBS, same with Ohio State. And on that list, Duke is checked off. They are like the Mets of NCAA. They only added black for this reason. Before they had always been blue and white only. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 It's a crutch, plain and simple. Can't come up with an interesting alternate with the colour pallet and logo at your disposal? Just colour the primary jersey black with stripes in the team colours. Then you sell it to people on the theory that black is an "attitude."

TFoA Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 My high school's colors were green & gold when I went there. My senior year, we started wearing black alternates for basketball. 1 year after I graduated, the football team introduced a black alternate. 2 years later, a black helmet was introduced & black was made a school color. Why? Because the football coach/AD thought that black was cool.So yeah, when I played football for my school, we looked like Notre Dame whenever they decided to wear green. Now, they look like a green & black Miami from the early 2000's. Miami can pull that look off because their colors are awesome & fit the vibrant feeling of the uniform. My high school can't do it because, FFS, when black is the dominant color of a green-&-gold scheme, it's not gonna work at all. I said that to say this: If you're gonna do BFBS, at least make sure that it looks good. I think I brought this up, but my dream combo when it comes to college football uniforms FSU combining their "Unconquered" look with the black helmets from the Pro Combat set. (Oh look, I found it, sort of. ) That would look amazing as a one-off or a special occasion alternate. Then you have Mississippi State, who brought out an all-black look last season (minus the helmet, which was maroon) and it looked incredibad. They should burn that uniform ASAP.So my point is this: IMO, I don't mind BFBS. Just make sure that it looks good if you're gonna do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
