ConnMann5 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Watching the High School game on ESPN today I noticed that St. Thomas Aquinas has a metallic vegas gold on their helmets and a regular gold pants and trim on their uniforms, any thoughts? http://media.miamiherald.com/smedia/2010/12/03/23/8608932.embedded.prod_affiliate.56.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Their uniforms have been like that for a while now. For some damn reason it doesnt bother me...maybe because I always have bad expectations for high school teams.Also, you will notice three other things from this game. 1) St. Thomas' jerseys are odd. They look like Nike PC cut from the front, and have flywire, but the back of the jersey is stitched differently than the PC jerseys. 2) Interesting to note Prattville's font is the same as Louisville. Probably because it was easier to replicate. 3) A lot of Prattville players are wearing the Revo 360 helmet we've been waiting to see, as well as the new Spalding helmets.

Brave-Bird 08 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Yesh. They look like a mix between the Schutt Air XP and the Xenith helmets (worn by NC State first, I believe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPV713 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I'm glad some other people saw this. I looked at their uniforms and thought, "What the hell, that looks terrible." It looked gross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I had no problem with the mismatching golds. What I had a real problem with was the fact that Pratville at least on the QB had the lion head logo on backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illini1 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 It reminds me of the Notre Dame uniforms (from the 70's I think) when they broke out the green jerseys with yellow gold pants and metallic gold helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConnMann5 Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 looked odd, but i guess when u win 2 out of 3 of the last high school national championships you can do what you want with your uniforms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lahaye7 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 both teams looked bland in that one. South Panola and Hoover both look pretty good. Hoover UA uni's look alot better than Maryland's. S Panola looks alot like Ole Miss. I am sore,wounded, but not slainI will lay down and bleed a whileAnd then rise up to fight again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like an old set from Louisville that had gone orange. Same shoulder insets and same pants as this set.So far the worst high school uniforms we've seen this weekend have been Bishop Gorman.

LetsGoOakland9 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I had no problem with the mismatching golds. What I had a real problem with was the fact that Pratville at least on the QB had the lion head logo on backwards.I didn't see the game so I'm not positive what youre talking about, but their logo is also a P, so on one side of the helmet the lion head faces forward, while on the other side it faces backwards, so in both cases the P is facing the proper directionYou can kind of see it in this picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Uggh, my high school had this same problem for awhile. My freshman year they switched from athletic gold to Vegas gold and decided to spray all of the old helmets with the new gold. The varsity team looked great, considering they got new uniforms every season, but the JV and Freshman teams still had the old yellow gold trim. We looked like absolute trash. The only thing worse was our play. I lost every game I played in untill I got to varsity end of my sophomore season and actually got matching uniforms. As lame as it may seem, I really do feel that looking good on the field helps your play. When your young and on a bad team and you take the field looking like an absolute joke, it just makes the whole thing even more of an uphill battle.
