BrandMooreArt Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Couldn't disagree more. Purposly losing an official school color on the uniform for the sake of looking "old school" is trite.It's not "losing" a school color. The rest of the helmet is still red. The jersey is still red.And the facemask is no longer red, nor is it yellow. That's the loss of a school color on a uniform element, for a dubious reason.and the shoes are black, so I guess that counts too? They could be red or yellow but they're not.Well actually...Suddenly, the grey facemask makes perfect sense because it's repeated on the shoes. It's now an accent color on the uniform. Grey gloves would complete the perfect ensemble. Simple fixes for perceived problems.The grey works becaus it makes the Trojan pop. The contrast also draws the eye into the helmet and the red and yellow. The all red facemask is nice, but it makes the uniform blend, and the Trojan logo is sort of adrift and gets lost in the predominant red.That's a good way of justifying it and it's the reason I love grey facemasks, tan pants, and leather-colored helmets when applicable. Using those neutrals makes the team colors that are there really stand out and seem much more vibrant.ive held that philosophy for years too, and am surprised by how many people don't feel that way. but, what are ya gonna do . . .

shaydre1019 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I think the gray facemask looks WAYYY better. Not even close IMO especially with the new uniforms. The older set looked like it belonged on the box for those Popsicles, idk what they're called. But my point is they looked generic. Now I think they look great though I'll admit they're one of the teams that looked better without colored socks/cleats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mingjai Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 What was Tommy Trojan?It was an one-and-done helmet; however, the odd thing is that the Tommy logo is used in almost ALL of the merchandise for USC, at least at a higher ratio than the helmet logo.I believe it lasted for a whole year in the early 90s, but people didn't like the way it looked. If they had used the version in the above logo instead of the inverted color version the ended up using (as you see in the photograph), there would have been less complaints. It's the inverted image the looks weird. Visit my store on REDBUBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a heavier outline would be needed but all in all, a much better version. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that doesn't seem very substantial; although as mentioned, it's a neutral color that allows the red and yellow to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current logo, however, seems to maintain a sort of vintage charm in being reversed, whereas the Tommy Trojan logo just looked like a mistake. I don't like the idea of using an outline on Tommy Trojan, either. It just didn't work for me either way .The 'correct' logo:What's actually on the helmet: I still don't have a website, but I have a dribbble now! http://dribbble.com/andyharry [The postings on this site are my own and do not necessarily represent the position, strategy or opinions of adidas and/or its brands.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuordr Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I love the black pants on Northwestern and the whole combo on Minnesota.I hate the combo on Virginia Tech.I hate the player name color on Rutgers.Ole Miss needs more than a gray helmet, I believe they could use a new uniform, not modern, but new traditional.I love the look of Duke (blue-white-white) today.I like the helmet and pants stripe on Syracuse, but there is something about their uniform that I just hate. I wish Louisville would break out the red pants on the road as they would look better with a white jersey as compared to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
