College Football 2012 Season

[DC in Da House w/o a Doubt]

Out of the 32, I'd say six are fantastic, and the other 26 look like garbage.

Unfortunately I'd say that is a spot-on assessment.

I can't wait for gray/yellow/white

[TheOldRoman]

I think they are all bad due to the horrible template and font, but the only ones which at least have the right colors and should be worn are navy helmets, the navy jersey with yellow pants, white jersey with navy or yellow pants and the yellow jersey with white pants.

N'Western jersey tease video:

Fixed so it actually shows

I play hockey with Adam Clement and a few others that work at UA. Maybe I can sneak a peak.

Eh, they do that everywhere, for every identity. As we all know from seeing the final products, rarely does it produce a home run. I think designers in this industry often feel too obligated to force some of these design elements and research tidbits into uniforms. I'm glad the UA team recognizes the importance of Northwestern's namesake stripe, but an ivy pattern, a stonework pattern? Those are gimmicks. They don't belong on something a grown man wears. It's a tough sell for me no matter if it's an adidas, Nike or UA product. They've all done it. Some examples have been successful; most have not.

Well, it's to be expected for Under Armour. They've done that school-specific pattern for most of their schools. Hawaii has theirs (I don't remember what it is), Boston College has the stained glass and Maryland has the turtle shell.

agreed. i am really intrigued by the traveling perks of a large studio/creative team. spend a day walking around a campus taking pics and whatnot. not bad

Big upgrade at the alma mater:

Both end zones on the new turf at Camp Randall read "WISCONSIN":

The font appears to be the same as before, although my preference would have been to use the University's athletic wordmark (which itself is based on the "motion W"):

I drove by Ryan Field when I was back home a couple weeks ago and the Northwestern stripe is everywhere on the outside of the stadium. So I'd guess it isn't going away.

As for the ivy... I dunno. I've been to that campus at least hundreds of times and never thought twice about it. A lot of other schools have lots of ivy so I don't think that makes NU distinctive or is something an identity should be built around.

I also think it's risky going with ivy because of the Cubs connection. There are a lot of White Sox fans in Chicago who don't want to wear anything remotely related to the Cubs, and ivy could alienate them.

And, memo to UA, please don't make silver/gray/anthracite/whatever a part of the identity. NU's worst years were with silver. The success started a couple years after Barnett introduced black.

But as long as they keep the N helmet logo and Northwestern stripes they'll be off to a decent start. Just avoid the gray or whatever.

i like "WISCONSIN" on both ends. looks great. that font i believe is Clarendon condensed bold. the athletic word mark looks like Akachen

I'm also glad they got rid of the black outline around the letters in te end one that theyve had since the renovation. Looks very classy and clean

Looks better, but the motion W at midfield still has black.

The turf looks so much better now. I always hated how faded the turf looked, same with Nebraska.

Wisconsin actually uses a slightly modified version of Aachen Bold, as shown below (note the extended strokes on the A, B, E, G and R):

[tBBP]

Hmm...I'd never noticed the extended bars in those letters until you just now pointed that out (but then, that is what you do, ain't it?).

Which now raises the question: is it even necessary??
