BrandMooreArt Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Thanks for posting that... always nice to be reminded how tired that uniform had gotten and why I'm so glad they brought back their classic look.And, Andrew, I'm with you.same here on both accounts GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I mean this is totally ridiculous. How the hell did several the NFL teams allow this to see the field? Are teams that chose blocked flywire collars going to be stuck with this for 5 years?And anyone notice how extra "fly" Drew Brees' uniform was. Huge flywire section. Even bigger than the offensive lineman. And the pants looked awful, especially when the lineman began to sweat through them.Lighting, photography, and monitors play some weird tricks, I know. But man, does it ever look like there's gray outlines on Brees' shoulder numbers instead of gold. I know that they aren't gray, but the fact that they can even appear that way is really odd, and just reinforces for me that the Saints picked the wrong shade to standardize.

Gothamite Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Yeah, a more brassy gold would have looked so much better.But what really bothers me is how busy the swoosh is against the shoulder numbers.

henburg Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Has the placement of the swoosh been a problem with any other teams? I feel like only the Saints have had this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 It could be a single-digit issue, because it appears to be the same width as the numbers, and when placed directly under a single-digit number breaks the flow and disrupts its legibility. That wouldn't necessarily be a problem when it's centered under two digits. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I think what a lot of people are missing about these ?collars? is that they really aren?t collars, in the strictest sense. A collar is:1. The part of a shirt, coat, dress, blouse, etc., that encompasses the neckline of the garment and is sewn permanently to it, often so as to fold or roll over. 2. A similar but separate, detachable article of clothing worn around the neck or at the neckline of a garment.These ?collars? are actually not a separate part of the jersey, in terms of being separate or distinguishable from the jersey?s fabric or even cut. If there wasn?t a visible seam, you wouldn?t even think of that part of the jersey as being any different from the rest. The only reason we (and for that matter, the teams) are holding on to this idea of a collar is because football jerseys have always had them. I believe Nike?s intension was to get rid of the traditional idea of a collar all-together, as it interfered with their flywire nonsense, and that?s the proprietary feature they?re trying to make money off of, by selling it to high schools and smaller colleges. So when teams insisted on keeping their old looks relatively intact, Nike?s ?solution? was to color that portion of the jersey differently, mimicking the old idea of a collar, at least in part. So, yeah, it looks stupid. Because it is stupid? a stupid solution to a stupid idea. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I had always wished that the 49ers had some gold on their jersey just to match their helmet and pants.I think it's actually an "unpopular opinion", but I am totally with you. Gold outlines on the numbers would really be sharp, in my opinion.

It makes a jersey that's supposed to be light and sleek, look bulky and frumpy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanye Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Sorry if this has been brought up, but the Seahawks wore their grey pants during TC on Sunday. I hope they wear these during home games instead of the monochrome look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 If they made the wings on the pants stripes lime green instead of gray, I'd agree with you. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Wait, so the pants are a light gray, and the pants stripe with the wing detail is a slightly darker gray? This whole new Seahawks look just confuses the hell out of me. I just don't get it. Any of it.

The grey in the stripe portion is the mesh material so the color is slightly different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any of it.I believe that the stripe consists of a breathable material, and the darker color you see is a result of sweating through them.Actually, I think it's just because of the material being a holed-mesh, the fabric takes more of the tone of the players' skin, or in this case, the black tights he is wearing underneath. This is another "gem" from Nike. The players' pants will look different (on all teams with that dumb template) because the that area shows the skin color and every player has different skin tones.

DGivens87 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 From the 49ers website the other day. Three stripes in full effect!Um, is that a VISA logo on a game jersey??? I understand it's a pic from practice, but that looks a lot like game jersey to me. A large cheese pizza, just for me.New England's source for soccer newsAnd hey, I made it to ESPN!

seahawk9 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 If they made the wings on the pants stripes lime green instead of gray, I'd agree with you.I believe they intentionally did not make them green as the blue pants have green ones and they will better match the blue jerseys. Believe they will eventually settle back into the all blue monochome home look again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand it's a pic from practice, but that looks a lot like game jersey to me.Harbaugh requires players to wear the game jersey during practice because he wants the players to get the feel and accustomed to wearing game jersey versus a much looser practice jersey. Less injuries occur with a tighter, game jersey he believes. He started this last year. So yeah, since VISA is supposed to be on the jerseys during practice, the VISA logo is on these game jerseys.
