Mongoose Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 SC's white pants. Rumored to be considered, but relegated to "scrimmage pants". As a fan, I dont care for them. Maybe with an alt yellow ala 75th anniversary Rams, but that's too far for the Trojans. Tradition trumps change in this case.Nothing about that look USC to me, they look like Stanford. The white pants don't work for USC, because yellow is only featured on the helmet logo, and it should definitely play a bigger part in USC's uniforms Needless to say, I am glad USC scrapped this look.

GeauxColonels Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Colorado wearing their new gold helmets. Forgive me if I missed something, but how are those different than last year's gold helmets?Look at the 2 pics...the newer helmets have much less of a yellow look to the.

The pants are new this season and Kiffin hasn't ruled them out for a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDmo Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 OMG a team full of tradition is finally getting with the times, down with them!!An all white set would definitely look good for USC. While the yellow on the helmet would look out of place given the lack of yellow on the pants/jersey, it would still look pretty good IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeauxColonels Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 NEW University of Louisiana at Lafayette uniforms. Black pants added but helmet remains red. Fleur de lis pattern in the shoulders and pants stripe. Not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually kind of like the fade-in fleur de lis pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I don't like the horn design on CSU's uniforms but the fleur-de-lis really works here. Overall it's a simple design that looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tBBP Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I think Russell has finally managed to come up with a template that they can get some decent mileage of. This is the best application yet of this particular uniform style.(Waiting to see just how they manage to screw up Florida A&M's version of these when they get them...) *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But people around Lafayette are about the only ones that refer to them in that manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandMooreArt Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Cajun's seemed to be onto something but that needed at least another round of discussion and reworking. the Flur de Le pattern is inspired but the end result isnt too appealing to me and ends up making the red underneath look pink. not a good wordmark either. i love that they wanted to do something different than a slanted block font, but this typeface is not made for football jerseys. the number font is the worst part. the kerning between the numbers couldnt be any larger. that looks terrible, and theres way too much 'character' trying to be squeezed into it. round bubbly corners with 'custom' points AND spurs on one side of the numbers. too many ideas in one space. this is not a highlight piece for Russel's portfolio.

Thad Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I really like those. Modern, but somewhat classy looking.Is there a number on the announced number of blackouts yet? It seemed like there were at least 15 or 20 last year.

That said, considering what both Russell and the Cajuns have churned out in the past, this is about as close to solid as they've had. If nothing else, it's a start. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course and Oregon fan would be on board with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the "Louisiana" text across the chest, I think that is a school administrative decision. That's the font they use for everything to desperately promote the "Louisiana" and "UL" monikers as an attempt to convinve the public that they are just the University of Louisiana. Again, that's not new either. Here's the previous home unis they used.I do agree that the pattern gives off a slightly pinkish hue. I think that it's more of an issue on the road whites than on the home reds though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
