MJWalker45 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Glad they ditched the black side panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Are those logos a product of Phoenix Design? I hate bevels...but the fact that this logo mainly white bothers me. Their helmet wasn't an issue (except for the red-blue stripes they wore briefly). Their uniforms are improved yes, but the helmet is a downgrade imo.

McCall Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 It's the same logo/wordmark they've had, basically, just with the pieces rearranged. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Bevels are new too. Odd. Don't see tweaks like that happen often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportstar1212 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I LOVE that undershirt. It looks so sick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr79 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 There's an unfortunate visual illusion in the new logo that makes the A appear lower than the other letters due to where it sits on the U. It's only made worse by the warping to fit on a helmet decal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCL Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 The black helmet is head scratching and the Camby era U needs to make a return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Due to the difference in letter height, I see "ASS" before I see the M.

pmoehrin Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 The black helmet is head scratching and the Camby era U needs to make a return.Its not quite black for the sake of black, but its close.The black does work really well as an outline color for the maroon and white. I don't know why they just don't leave it at that. Then again seems like every team in college football is trying to get a different uniform for every game. Maybe UMass feels they have to do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDixonDesign Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Due to the difference in letter height, I see "ASS" before I see the M.Agreed, the "ASS" is a slightly smaller weight than the "M". The different in weights on top of the bevels makes it appear glaring more than usual... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coheed Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Not a huge fan of the black, but they could have done worse. That undershirt is really slick, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
