MellowTheMyth Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I wouldn't necessarily say the number font for West Virginia is ugly, it's the fact that it doesn't work for West Virginia. Certain uniform designs just don't work for every team. (Ex: Arkansas & Gradient) That font looks similar to Florida State's PC, or at least to me. The uniform itself could be way better, and I feel that the logo on the white helmet should be yellow outlined in gold, or vice versa and at least have a colored facemask.

thespleenenator Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Tennessee needs to do White/Orange/Orange more. It looks fantastic. Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me. I cry tears.Chopping off the dicks of Filipino boys and embracing causes that promote bigotry =/= strong moral character.

wyopokes2 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 FAU has new helmet options. I'd post images here but the pics are large and I don't feel like resizing themhttp://www.lostlettermen.com/fau-unveils-five-new-helmet-options/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmd9 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 What should have been (in my opinion). What have made it easier to mix and match. Add more white to orange. Got rid of two tone masks.those all look good, but would be a mistake IMO. it's the same set as Oklahoma State (minus a grey one)I think the striping helps set OkState and Oregon State apart. The problem I have with all these multi-helmet teams is that rarely they all consistent. Like Oregon State for example, have the side logos on one, one is matte, one has logo on back, only two have special facemasks, etc. It seems like they can't seem to decide which they like best so just mix them all together.

It's what players wear to protect their trouser snakes.FAU has new helmet options. I'd post images here but the pics are large and I don't feel like resizing themhttp://www.lostlette...helmet-options/Those all look terrible. Every single one is a downgrade from their current helmet, which is one of the best in the FBS. And the grey. Why grey? WHY?! Why you make fun of me?

From an exposure standpoint I don't think they're big enough to be recognized by only the owl. While only 2? other teams use that nickname FAU probably isn't known by the casual FBS fan.

orangefaniniowa Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Is it just me but does the WV Blue uniform look purple while the helmet looks blue.The shoulder and armpit sections of the blue jersey looks black to me. I don't think it is though.Of course it is. Facemask on the navy helmet is, too. Did you really think Nike could design a new set without adding black or grey?Pitt looks great, but shouldn't that yellow be more of a mustard?Also, no more space talk, let's keep this thread terrestrial.I think something adidas would design with the numeral font, not Nike. If you don't believe me check out St. Mary's basketball jerseys. Their numeral font is very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their numeral font is very similar. Posted over in the "Hate The Font" thread:That character set was the handiwork of Osaki Creative Group (for what its worth, the same guy(s) who brought you/us the Baltimore Ravens and Tampa Bay Buccaneers current identities, among others). I can see how one can see similarities between the Gaels' and now WV's number set.Although...the fact that one is led to even draw the above posted conclusion illustrates, to me at least, the troublesome monopolization (is that a word??) running rampant through collegiate sports in present day. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LogoMark Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 MSU wore those god-awful chrome helmets at their spring game today (white team). Hope they're burning them right now.Agreed, those chrome helmets are terribly gaudy, definitely not "Spartan". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuordr Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 This font would be a lot better if they did some modifying to 2,3,5 and 7.I hated the font until I seen the video where they mentioned they wanted the numbers to depict a Coal Miner's Pick and once I realized that I started liking them fonts more. My favorite numbers with this new font is 3 and 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
