Coheed Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Call me crazy, but I think those helmets are pretty cool for a one-off. I wouldn't want to see these ever again, but the set looks pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chawls Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Wearing those helmets will be a mistake. However, I do like that their pants have stripes this time.

Ted Cunningham Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 That is one excellent uniform package. The helmet I could take or leave, but as a one-off it doesn't bother me. But seriously. That jersey. I love the burgundy and orange versions of it as well. Is there a precident for VT to be using UCLA-style shoulder hoops? I.e. was that their look way back when and they've revived it? Or did they go to it recently? If the latter is the case, I find that really interesting that they went to a throwback look for a new uniform, especially in today's uniform climate.

TimEOBrien Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 No one will convince me otherwise but nothing TCU has ever worn looked as good as their Rose Bowl Unis (aka, the NU RB knockoffs). Take the rose out of the frogs mouth and, baby, you got yourself a stew goin'.New endzone design for Northwestern.Me likey.I hope they put another coat of purple on the field because now it looks washed out.Obviously their in the middle of painting it so I can't imagine they wont go back over it once the first layer drys, but if they don't, my season ticket is about 50 feet from where this picture was taken so I'll be able to get a good look at the endzone tomorrow night.

scottysprings Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 At this point TCU has had so many helmets that it's overkill. Yeah it looks nice but they keep making these minor changes to the helmets and it's frustrating. Just pick an identity and stick to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it looks nice but they keep making these minor changes to the helmets and it's frustrating. Just pick an identity and stick to it.The same could be said for Virginia Tech, Oregon, Michigan, and Maryland. This ain't just TCU we're talking about. Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me. I cry tears.Chopping off the dicks of Filipino boys and embracing causes that promote bigotry =/= strong moral character.

andrewharrington Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 If you think about what Oregon needs and what their clients (recruits) want to see, i think the wings work very well. the fact that they're so different from everyone else is even better, i mean isnt that what design is for? to do something different?At it's core, no. What design is for depends on what you need to do with it. Design by nature is meant to make the world more efficient (and usable, beautiful, many things, really). Sometimes that involves doing something new and sometimes it involves making an existing idea better. If your goals are to use design to recruit great young players right now, to create a public perception that your company is always the leader on the cutting edge of what it does and to make money in today's attention deficit market, in that case design is for doing something different, because that's one of the best ways (maybe the singular best way) to achieve those goals.

Sport Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Virginia Tech's best helmet is the maroon stripeless helmets.If they're going to continue to insist on not wearing their best look ever(the sleeve numbers being a different color than the chest and back number: )then Ideally I'd like them to wear only thisall these white, orange, maroon helmets with stripes do nothing but distract from their best look. Get it together, VT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get it together, VT!Agree with every bit of this post, from top to bottom. The Vick era really was thier best look, but the second set you have shown is runner-up for me. The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right.

My suggestions would be:A) Make logo just brown (lose outline) Make logo orange with brown outline so it's totally differentOther than that, I agree this is a very nice look.
