Cola Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 They claim they can't see the numbers clearly.Someone tell me this is crap. Didn't Oregon wear black uniforms with black numbers?These are the uniforms for those that don't know: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Black numbers on a black jersey with a thick, highlighter-yellow outline are easier to read than that jumbled QR code crap.

CS85 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 They're wearing the same pants and helmet, looks weird with the plain home jersey.

Cola Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 How can Under Armour allow something like this to happen then?I don't really agree that the black on black of Oregon is easier to read EVEN with the highlighter yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mings Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Yeah, I know its your team but I get why the refs have an issue with it. The pattern is too much and makes them unreadable. Now if it was a screen of it (lighter pattern/less dense), those issues would be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJMorris3 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 They should be glad I'm not an official. Any form of alternate jersey would get the "too hard to read, go change" argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 What's the problem here? That uniform is hideous anyway. We've all been spared the sight of its ugliness. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuordr Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 They're wearing the same pants and helmet, looks weird with the plain home jersey.I think the helmet and pants looks okay with their standard black jersey. Maybe the NCAA needs to have a better eye health care plan for the old seniors to be able to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 How can Under Armour allow something like this to happen then?I think it's a problem this board has noted many times before, in various forms - some designers, manufacturers, and clients fail to realize that what may look good on a screen doesn't always translate well to fabric. And while the 1s pictured above obviously wouldn't have a legibility issue, I could see there being some problems discerning 3s, 6s, 8s, 9s, and 0s, especially given the way today's jerseys tend to scrunch up and distort.Somewhat related: Why has Carolina paired their proprietary, cutting-edge uniform design with the crappiest stock numeral font available?

Cola Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 What a failure by Under Armour. I become less and less happy with their uniforms and fan products as time goes.I guess I just have a hard time seeing why these uniforms are THAT difficult to read in comparison to some of the stuff that has seen the field from Nike the past couple of years.

MJWalker45 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Why wouldn't a set of these have been sent to the NCAA or someone to ensure that they could be read. I wonder if these were put on the cardinal jersey if the same problems would exist   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash61 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I'm with the referees 100% on this. I have 20/20 vision, and i have problems reading the numbers in the picture at a fast glance, and it's not moving.

winghaz Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I'm glad the refs stepped in. Numbers must be readable to the officials and the folks in the pressbox.It's time the NCAA showed some guts and put an end to this uniform madness. The NCAA needs to better define what is and isn't acceptable in all uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get your wish, we might end up with all 121 teams in FBS having uniforms designed to resemble Alabama or Penn State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 That would be vastly preferable to 121 teams wearing Faux Combat uniforms. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Not really. It'd be really boring and we wouldn't have anything to talk/bitch about uniform-wise.Also, we should be thankful for the ProCombat line. It may be hit-or-miss but it's bringing uniform design to the mainstream. People are actually starting to notice and care about uniforms.
