omnivore Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I still can't get over this idea, gaining more and more currency every year, that high school football players care as much about logos and uniforms as we do. Recruiting kids with school-sanctioned prostitutes and giant bags of slush fund money, I'm used to that, but I can't wrap my head around selling a school with the promise of highlighter-chartreuse numbers on charcoal jerseys and having that mean anything.It's just part of the package. And we'll get off your lawn.

pianoknight Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I looks like the W's are put on with electical tape. God Awful. Adidas has now been surpassed by UA IMO for best companies, behind #1 Nike.So you made a really convoluted way of saying that Adidas is #3? I suppose that still puts them ahead of Russell and some of the other one-offs. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.

Maybe a red helmet with a white motion W, and getting rid of the W all together on the front. It's doing a retro look just for the sake of doing Retro, cuz it worked for Michgan, so Adidas is shoving it down our throats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These one-gamers are using a throwback "W", but that doesn't make them throwbacks. They're still gorgeous, though. Far too good to be a one-off: I really want them to base new regular uniforms on this look. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Ditch that white trim on the jersey, make the W a little bit more bold (just a little more weight to the letterform) and put two thin stripes on the sleeves, and that's a full-timer.
