Guest Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Well, since it's not YFYS or BFBS, I don't think they look that bad. They're not great but they could be so much worse. If their intent was to be Under Armour's Oregon, I don't understand the strict adherence to school colors, though. I mean, "school colors" is a foreign phrase to Nike and Oregon.

twi Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 So the helmets will be completely logoless? I like the stripe on the black helmet, if I'm picturing it right from what we can see here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamikel Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Well, since it's not YFYS or BFBS, I don't think they look that bad. There's more to good uniform design than adhering to some Paul Lukas catch phrase. These uniforms are just an example of too much going on at once. The Maryland flag design, turtle shell pattern, gradients, and red-yellow-black-white color scheme are all elements that could easily be overwhelming when taken on their own. By combining them all into a single uniform set, Under Armor has created a colossal mess. Say what you will about Nike (and I mean that-their disrespect for traditional school colors is awful) but at least Oregon's uniforms have a certain degree of coherence to them.

FiddySicks Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Wait, so they have turtle shell helmets that don't match anything else in the uniform set, and matte black helmets, and both have no logo on the side? I like separate elements of the uniform, but what a mish mash of a design. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

tohasbo Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 The great thing is that there was no combo of the Red jersey with the yellow pants but that would be a combo probably seen. Pair that with the black matte helmet and you might have one of loudest combinations of this new set. Over on 2011 Maryland they are putting up all of the combinations, excluding a couple.

tron1013 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 The lack of logos are incongruous and the white helmet does not match the white jersey due to the shell pattern that looks more Mario kart than major college football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
