TheStoicPaisano Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 i dont like that they dont have a NOB That's only because these pics are for promo purposes and they can't use players to promote the merchandise like that. The real thing will have the NsOB.Is it confirmed to have NOB? It takes 5 minutes to whip up school nameplates for promo shoots, Nike did it for the Minnesota football jerseys. Based on the placement of championship stars, I'm thinking these may go NNOB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illwauk Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Sadly, my Panthers have jumped on the digi-camo and pander-to-knee-jerk-jingoists bandwagons.I sent the AD an email saying that if they really wanted to honor vets, save the money on the new uniforms and just let vets attend games (all games) for free or at least half price.

Sapphire Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 They are all about championship stars now too... Nike Inc site for themI wouldn't mind if KU got a set if we were a Nike school. These look sweet imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltere Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 OK, so about this new Nike collection.Cons:- Those back logos are WAY too big- Letters and numbers are hard to read, stuff doesn't look good when it's the same colour as it's background- Why oh why are they all grey? It is now official (at least in college hoops) that grey is the new blackPros:- Errrm, the Championship stars are a pretty cool idea 1 hour ago, BringBackTheVet said: sorry sweetie, but I don't suck minor-league d CCSLC Post of the day September 3rd 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin W. Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 - Why oh why are they all grey?Marketing gimmick. They're calling it "platinum" just like how they've called it "carbon" and "steel" and "anthracite" in the past. It's just bells and whistles on a drab gray uniform.

waltere Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I totally agree about the championship stars, good idea but very average execution. Anyway I was reaching for something to be positive about 1 hour ago, BringBackTheVet said: sorry sweetie, but I don't suck minor-league d CCSLC Post of the day September 3rd 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin W. Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I love the championship stars. The point of the uniforms is to highlight the schools that have won championships, so why not? The idea is good but the execution leaves something to be desired.

pcgd Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I don't understand why these schools would want to look like each other. I've defended templates before but that's for cut lines and to help the production and save on retail. But templated colors? I'll never understand it in team sports.
