College Football 2013 Season

[JPDesign]

Now that I see it, why can't they just replace the mesh, and wrap the striping under the sleeve.

I bet it's a comfort issue. The stripes in the armpits may have caused discomfort.

It has been confirmed. BYU jersey backs will read either Spirit Tradition or Honor this season. Not names

[hailstateunis]

What is with adidas putting the state's outline on the back of the jerseys... Do they think the Treadmarks and state outline look kewl?

I wonder what's up with that? Tennessee, Mississippi State, and now Texas A&M have the state outline on back.

Fixed it for 'ya.

Man that is so lame, idk if it's worse than team name on back but I hate when they have something other than last names, unless it's a military theme like army

I don't know but your spelling isn't cool.

Neither are ignorant Michigan fans who don't understand jokes.

I'm not sure that misspelling a word intentionally constitutes as a joke...

Ya but whenever people make fun of some stupid trend, they typically use "kewl" instead of cool.

Honestly idk how hard something like this would been

what did you do there, widen the numbers? hard to tell without seeing 2 side by side

but Brian Gundell said in order to bring the stripes down, they had to narrow the "box" for the numbers. the solution was to make the numbers taller/thinner. personally, i really like the numbers. and the stripe execution is a push for me, neither better or worse than the previous. although i am a fan of alignment and do like the stripe ends aligning with the bottom of the name plate on the back.

i think this is a great example of putting form before function. its backwards, yet if you kill those stripes then it kills the established LSU aesthetic, the "sticky" emotional part of the jersey design everyone knows and loves. theres no winning here because you have to shoe-horn a dated graphic solution into a problem it was never intended for. you dont compromise the product (uniform) just for graphic decoration, so altering the jersey in a way that makes it a lesser product (long sleeves and sloppy fit) will never be the answer. . . unless you DO change the graphic design of the uniform and create a proper solution for the modern jersey. but thats a brave, bold move that im sure LSU dosent want to have to make.

Even that is stupid IMO as army guys wear their names on their gear.

Extending the stripe further down made the jersey look worse. Looks much more natural if it stops where it previously did. Unless it wraps around, under the sleeve, then it just appears as if it's hanging down, over the shoulder. The further down in this case, the worse it looks.

I totally disagree. The lengthened stripe looks much better, particularly in the back:

Before

After:

The longer stripes look 10x better, but that font size is bad.

I don't mind the font. It doesn't look as bad as you all make it out to be.

[St Louis Cardinals]

Hey, not bad. I'm especially likin' the numbers on the road uniform. The colors work really well together

Well this, idk how to upload it right now. But yeah I widened them tried to make the corners less steep and just tried to make them look more square and less like theyre stretched out.

[gdu]

@BYU_Football: Talked to my team tonite. They want to wear tradition spirit honor on jerseys for homecoming only.

Well that didn't take long.

I actually really liked the old home jersey, wish they would've kept that, and gotten rid of the yokes on the away. This is a slight downgrade for me, but still nice looking.

Ah, yes. We wouldn't want to "compromise" Nike's super-ninja tech... they might never win again. If only LSU had the guts, they too could take the field in something as cutting edge as Oregon. The way that the Ducks have never said no to anything Phil Knight demanded of them, they must have huge nards. Handing over your entire visual identity to an outside mega-corporation... now that's brave!

Just saw this on another board. Actual look at the new UCF jersey

I just dislike gold jerseys with white accents. Those white ellipses should be black, that might make them tolerable.

you seriously think they should make a jersey that is a lesser product, just to fit some stripes on it that are, in your vision, a better aesthetic? thats not how design works man, you dont build a product around the decoration. the big picture is, theres really nothing wrong with the previous truncated stripes. or this version of it. i'll cut Nike a break for making the best jersey the sport has ever seen and compromising some details of a dated graphic that is still a fine version of the original. the jersey's intent is to allow the player to perform to the best of his ability, and to distinguish one team (and its players) from the other. not to carry on dated graphics of the "good ol days" for a nostalgic boner. we'd never improve anything with that kind of thinking. you want to put player slike Austin Collie in leather helmets too because they're "not Nike's kewl new thing"?

i dont even know where you're going with the Oregon BS you're on about. LSU is in control of their own identity. my point was that changing the visual design (removing the stripes) would cause a lot of backlash, and remove a key brand identifier. i wouldn't be surprised to see an online petition to change them back to this if they made such a move. but yea, making bold moves can pay off a lot for your brand if it goes over, Oregon being the perfect example. no one gave a about them before they came out with ghost flames on their helmets. weather or not it was Nike tyranny that did it dosent matter. the brand exploded and is now one the top places kids want to play for many reasons, but it started with a huge change in their brand and identity, taking it to places no one had before. what you think of that dosent matter; its working for them better than they could have imagined
