andrewharrington Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Kind of a shame. The N-cat was a big part of the 1995 unis. You'd think they'd keep it around somehow.Also, would love to see a black alternate with white-purple-white striping.He'll probably be on official gear, just not the unis. And I'd expect to see a black alt at some point.Here's a question, what color will the stripe be on the black alt? Purple or white? I'd assume purple, but wouldn't the dark on dark violate the laws of design?Not at all. Dark on dark is a great way to make a bold design element more subtle and also more modern if it's an element inspired by the past. It's also preposterous to think that there are any 'rules' of design. There are principles of design, but essentially, they're just a set of opposites that sort of balance each other out. For example, something that doesn't have a lot of balance may have a great deal of dominance or tension, all of which are principles of design. Furthermore, each principle can be defied tastefully, and I'd even argue that there are a few more principles that should be added.

TimEOBrien Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Retail Jerseys:Notice there are no sleeve stripes as many guessed but what I find more interesting is the two tone collar I hadn't seen before. In fact, I don't think anyone noticed that, at least not that I've seen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Retail jerseys are crap without the sleeve stripes. And if the compression undershirt is actually being sold, the jersey sleeves are so long that they'd cover up the stripes anyway. Poor decision.

CubsFanBudMan Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Without the stripes on the sleeves they look like soccer jerseys to me. They should have altered the retail version. However, if a QB wears the sleeves baggy, I suppose it could end up the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll look fine on the players because the shoulder pads will make them look more American Football-y. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I don't think anyone noticed that, at least not that I've seen...I just posted this in the College Football thread...And this is why moving the sleeve stripes to the undersleeve is a great idea, in theory, but just won't work, in practice. If they don't appear on the jersey, they aren't really part of the uniform. With this replica jersey, Northwestern/Adidas just admitted the undersleeves aren't really part of the official look. Its optional, and I'd bet whatever you want, that when they hit the field there will be more players skipping them then wearing them. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
