College Football 2012 Season

[dmhtfld]

Something odd I noticed about the new jerseys that Oregon is selling is that the more expensive jerseys look like they have the cheaper wings.

Man i would really love to play at Oregon.

Really excited to see the whole sets in action.

Have they always had those plain green shells that most were wearing in practice?

Yes.

...that pretty much kills the clean look.

Continue the stripe, make the 12 A LOT smaller than it is, MAC Detail above the flag on the left, and it's a winner...

i say drop everything

In a perfect world, I think we'd all rather see just the warning label and maybe the numbers, but it is what it is at this point, and everyone seems to have conference logo, flag and memorial decal on there nowadays (sometimes award decals, too).

The real story is RETURN OF THE PAWPRINT? Big plus.

i wonder if theres some legal issue that keeps the helmet manufacturers from putting the warning label on the inside? i mean, if someones going to put a number over it any ways, then whats the difference?

There is a warning on the inside as well as on the outside. Why football helmets are the only helmets that generally have them displayed, I couldn't tell you. I don't think I've ever seen a warning label on helmets in any of the other sports.

Im pretty sure you are not allowed to cover up the warning label on helmets. I suspect they may have to move the numbers

Your* right and your** not allowed to cover up the certification label.

*You're; **you're.

Thanks Mr Grammar Correcter I thought I was done with English.

Proper grammar doesn't go away when you're done school.

I played in high school with number 8 Cochran. I like those helmets, and I thought it was cool that his name just happens to be in the pic

I think the image of the Limited jersey is just Photoshopped, as opposed to being an actual photo of the garment like the Game jersey.

The FSU PCR stuff reminds me of TurboMan...

I am pretty sure it's PCR because of the chrome red facemask.

If they had put the pawprint on the side of these I'd be in love. I've long been an advocate of my alma-mater using that more on athletic uniforms.

I've come around on these green helmets (still wish they weren't matte). They're going to look great as they play as "America's Team" this Saturday at Penn State.

Piggybacking off the Uni Watch season preview, did this one slip through the cracks? I don't recall seeing it posted. I like the elimination of the double outlines and the newer font. Still need to figure out the shoulder stripes.

Shame on Adidas for producing that crap and shame on UCLA for not putting their foot down and telling Adidas they can shove their "super new advanced!" templates. Just two years ago, UCLA looked great. Adidas did the shoulder stripes far better than Nike or Reebok did. Replicating those stripes on this jersey template is an embarassment. It's intellectually insutling for them to say "Yep, here you go. Same stripes."

[CDixonDesign]

Still such a horrible disservice to not have the numerals similar to the throwback ones they have worn in the past:

Agreed! They aren't even shoulder stripes anymore. The are just blocks of color on the shoulder. They are almost a square!

And it's not even an issue like with the sleeve stripes, where sleeves are dissapearing and teams have to lose stripes or get creative in applying them. There is a bunch of fabric underneath those stripes! Cheapness and a desire to emphasize the template are the ONLY reasons Adidas could use to justify not running those stripes down to the armholes in the front and back. What would it take, a few additional cuts, two minutes more stitching and an additional $.30 to produce each jersey the correct way?

Who is that for? Indiana?

Those helmets seem like a shinier gold than usual...Am I seeing things?

I don't think they have enough brand recognition to pull that off.
