ESTONES6 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I don't mind these helmets nearly as much as I might the carbon fiber helmets. For the most part, I'm a traditionalist when it comes to uniforms, but I also appreciate TASTEFUL updates/modern uniforms. Now, chrome and black aren't Oregon's school colors, but they at least kept the overall style with the wings. They updated the numbers to match the wings.I actually like these uniforms quite a bit. If they colors were green, yellow, and white ONLY, I would almost love these.

hawk36 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 That helmet just really doesn't go with the jersey.If the Raiders ever do an alt, this has to be the inspiration for it. I can imagine the Raider shield on that in the tone on tone look. Wow. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coheed Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I like everything about the uniform, except the chrome on the helmets. It wouldn't look as bad if the helmet was a matte black with the chrome wings, along with a black facemask, but as it is it just looks ridiculous.

slapshot Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 The tighter fits of uniforms are also taking away their ability to cover padding, whether it's sleeveless jerseys exposing shoulder pads, overly tight tops exposing the back pads at the base of the spine, or the biker shorts that have led to the removal of knee padding.Anything that causes padding to be exposed (making it unsafe for everyone) or requires the officials to work harder to read numbers (taking their eyes off the play as a whole) should be kept off the field.Although I don't disagree with the legibility statements, I don't think the exposure of the arm pads is a harm to anyone. Anything that would harm someone that's in that area would harm them with fabric over it. having the arm pad exposed isn't going to cause harm to the player wearing it. As for the backpads I can see a point somewhat where that typically is a hard sharper plastic however those have been exposed in the college ranks since they started wearing them. (again, is a piece of fabric going to protect anyone from a back pad?) Anytime you have a jersey that doesn't tuck in they tend to ride up, especially when being tackled. Images of running backs with the back pad exposed have been seen for decades.The biker shorts thing I agree with but until the NCAA madates knee pads (and if they do already, start enforcing it) its a comfort thing for the player. Or its a "bad ass" thing for the player. Either way that part is on the NCAA. A player can pull a regular pair of pants above his knee, cut them off, whatever. You notice that in these photos Nike is showing all padding including the knee pads. Heck even the butt pad which most High Schoolers don't wear.Adidas tech fits (nike's might as well, I don't know for sure) have a pocket inside the shoulder that holds that shoulder pad in. If its put in there its VERY difficult to get out, it has to be pulled out. It won't fall out from random movement. The players are probably not using these pockets when they are exposed. The manufactures are not trying to have exposed padding, they are actually trying to keep it in.From the 2011-12 NCAA football rulebook:Specifications: Mandatory EquipmentARTICLE 4c. Jersey.1. Design. The jersey must have sleeves that completely cover the shoulder pads. It must not be altered or designed to tear. It must conform with Rules 1-4-5 and paragraph 3 below. The jersey must be full-length and tucked into the pants.2. Color. See Rule 1-4-5 for specifications regarding colors of jerseys.3. Numerals. The jersey must have clearly visible, permanent Arabic numerals measuring at least 8 and 10 inches in height front and back, respectively, of a color(s) in distinct contrast with the jersey.d. Knee Pads. Knee pads must be at least 1/2-inch thick and must be covered by pants. It is strongly recommended that they cover the knees. No pads or protective equipment may be worn outside the pants.This is also quoted under Illegal Equipment:i. Rib pads, shoulder pad attachments and back protectors that are not totally covered.I've seen firsthand that when shoulder pads become exposed through the sleeves, they don't sit flush to the shoulder, and some of the padding that's normally held down by the jersey sticks up and can cause injuries to other players. Same as the back pads.The knee padding is listed there by definition. They're part of the pants, but if the players wear them like biker shorts, they're no longer knee pads, they're more like lower thigh pads.

Kevin W. Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 The only thing the Cowboys really need to change about their uniforms is fixing their standard pants. Make it a normal silver instead of that greenish gray and they're all set. No crazy Nike modernizations marketing gimmicks necessary.
