Bravo96 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 The horror! A full decade of perfection (minus the one year of Nike horns) has been undermined by Nike's new design for the back of UNC's once-traditional and classic uniforms.Gaze: On white, that's almost bearable, but this... this monstrosity...Ahhh! My eyes!!As a major Heels fan, all I can say is, I are pissed. Thoughts? Click the Banner - Join the Movement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevis Meseroll Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I say stay "traditional"... Keep the blue and white and the argyle design and that is enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravo96 Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 I say stay "traditional"... Keep the blue and white and the argyle design and that is enough...Agreed! Also, just noticed the argyle pattern is different. It used to take up about 3/4 of the side panels, but now it appears to run up and down the entire length. I'm so mad at Nike right now. Why up a good design? Click the Banner - Join the Movement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamikel Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I hate it. I mean, I hate the whole sublimated design trend in general, but these are especially poorly executed. And the sublimated pattern just doesn't fit with the whole argyle/blue blood image of our uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSox44 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Not to ignite a flame war, but didn't Duke already do this? And didn't Duke fans (myself included) HATE IT?!? Why would UNC do this, seeing how badly received it was just down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why up a good design?The history of the argyle looks to at least be mostly full length.Here's Zeller and the '05 champsJason CapelThey also probably went at least to the waistband on the Alexander Julian's that started the argyle.

mstein Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I never did like the argyle look. I like the Michael Jordan look.As for the subliminal stuff, yuck.The argyle hasn't changed since the uniforms were redone for 2000-2001 (when the home argyle went from white to that horrid color they call "blue"). The original argyle was actually better and it actually was made of at least one additional shade of blue/navy than the revised version.The only other changes for this year were going from the Nike Silver Elite logo to the Nike Titanium Elite logo on the neckline (same with Florida this year).Of course, you realize that when we see the shorts, they are going to have the laser holes integrated into the argyle - that is going to be a hot mess.The problem with Carolina's aerographic is that unlike Duke's which is just the gothic architecture of the chapel with a Duke basketball logo over it, they put tons of images all over the back and made a mess. (Most of the other schools do this too and it doesn't work).And then there is the addition of the 1924 Helm's bread factory retroactive championship near the name on the back (look carefully).The other problem with almost all of the aerographics is that they don't go all the way down the back or across the sides, thus resulting in the term "sweatback."Note that Duke's are different than every other school as they take up the entire back of the jersey and as such don't appear to be as paper thin - it works much better and gets rid of the "sweat" look.

Jamikel Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Actually, UNC has changed the argyle on our uniforms slightly. They now have four blue diamonds on the shorts where they used to only have three.As for the Helms championship, UNC already set a precedent by hanging a banner for it beside the banners for our five NCAA titles. I like to tell people that we have 5 1/2 titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESTONES6 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I'm usually pretty traditional when it comes to uniforms... basketball I'm a little more liberal about. I am actually surprised I like these. When you see them on TV, you can't really tell they are part of the uniform, it just looks like it could be sweat or a shadow. When its up close, you can tell there is some sort of design.The only change I would make is the level of detail on the sublimated designs. For the most part, they is too much going on, so you need a still picture to actually see what the design is. I think a little subtraction would be an addition, not just in this case, but in all the cases...

Bravo96 Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 The problem is Nike has fused two of their good designs, Hyperdunk and Elite, into this monstrosity, which they call "HyperElite." Good basketball schools get them. We are an excellent basketball school. I find myself wishing we weren't. Click the Banner - Join the Movement!
