Gothamite Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Ugh. I'm glad I won't be seeing any of those games. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaydre1019 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Those numbers are way too huge. Looks like a semi pro team. And I don't think that agency looking font fits arsenal. I think something closer to the premier league numbers would suit them better and match their logo better.Wagner is that dude a reliable source? Would be cool to see a throwback.

-kj Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I presume they'll have white Prem numbers for league games. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

MJWalker45 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 US women are playing minus the US soccer crest. They are wearing blank shirts rather than the horrible USA crest that most other Nike uniforms will have on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see that, maybe on TV wouldn't look that good, but it's an interesting combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks bare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin W. Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Or the IOC could just get rid of that ridiculous rule.

They could even use their "Don't Tread" logo from a few years back. It would better than the blank space. Visit my store on REDBUBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evanmaldonado Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 So the crest logo is not allowed, yet the kit sponsor logo is? Okay that makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I think it's because the teams are meant to be representing the nation, not the federation. Fan Style ShirtsShowcasing fan-made sports apparel by artists and designers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin W. Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I think it's because the teams are meant to be representing the nation, not the federation.It's not like the federations are separate from the countries, though. That's a ridiculous rule. Teams don't represent their federations in the World Cup, they represent their countries.Then again, we've already established that the IOC has conceded the high ground when it comes to advertising and branding anyway.

MJWalker45 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I think this was their way of increasing clothing sales, but in reality if I already have the new USA jersey I'm not going to buy a special Olympics jersey with just the flag on it.

crashcarson15 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 The Olympic Teams represent their respective Olympic Committees, and thus, not their soccer federations. Hence why Team GB can have their crest and the US women can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
