Old Biff from the Future Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Harrison Smith just tweeted this. Are they really going to have two different 2s? get over it....And just like that, the NFC North becomes the best looking division in football. Hands down. I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hailstateunis Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 This picture makes the case for the black facemask as it ties into the horns The MATTE finish actually works with purple.... had to say it again.... and the NORSE chain inside the collar is a nice touch. Gots to get me this jerseyWell I assume riddell does minis in matte so it will look different than if I put a black mask on the current one. Looks like 3 new helmets that I'll be buying this year.Everything looks good on the uni except I woulda went white maskThey do make matte mini helmets. I bought the SEC mini helmet set a few months ago and both Texas A&M and Mississippi State were matte. http://www.hailstateunis.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Harrison Smith just tweeted this. Are they really going to have two different 2s?And see...this right here is where that whole idea fails. Doing their best to create parallels between the past and the future:Yep...I can dig it. In this guise (especially with those silly ship-bow serif thingamuhjiggies), sans-outline numbers was the way to go...much cleaner, and allows the purple to stand out that much more. Speaking of...thet have them, they doggone well BETRER WEAR THEM. Early and often.Oh and um uh...in regards to those sleeve stripes, they might've missed me with the "ship's bow" thing, but they do remind me of something else: (Now THAT would've been some design inspiration...wonder if anyone's ever tried transcribing airline liveries onto football uniforms before...hmmm...) *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...

A_A Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Wow, the white stripe DOES go up in back. That looks bad. As do the numbers. AND A BLACK FACEMASK! BWAHAHAHAHA!Really? These are far superior than the leotards the Jags wear.What are we in third grade or something? I didn't realize that me not liking elements of this design had any relation to which pro football team I cheered for.The new Jaguars uniforms look like a combination of vomit and dog sh1t. Deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmichaelp Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I love the black facemask now, after seeing it compared to the old one it just looks solid. It looks balanced with the black horn outline. And thank god the horns aren't touching in the back after all.I like the 4Wrong picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phutmasterflex Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Harrison Smith just tweeted this. Are they really going to have two different 2s? get over it....I only said that because it would flow better if they used the serif one for both of them. How about you get over yourself? This was the first jersey that shared the same numbers on both ends, so I just pointed it out. Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epper Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 These are gorgeous. I put them right up on par with the Texans and Bills as excellent examples of a simple, classic feel with modern touches. The black facemask doesn't bother me at all.Bravo, Vikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosioux76 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I give it a 9.5/10.I agree. It would be a 10 if it weren't for the black facemask. I just don't get that. I felt the same about the Gophers football design. The black just doesn't make sense in a uniform otherwise devoid of the color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuordr Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 The all white uniforms are not the best. Maybe they are only seen once or twice a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmichaelp Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 It appears that the back numbers have spurs on the second number but the front doesn't. Look at the Greenway gallery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicktharipper Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 As a third generation Vikes fan, Norweigan, and native Minnesotan (and self-proclaimed Nike fanboy), these are just...incredible If there is consistancy revealed with the number 'hulls', these are a modern classic.Color balance is great, collar knot is great, purple pants are great, namebar font is great, matte/satin helmet is great, ah.

MattMilone Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 get over it....I love this new trend. I agree the post you replied to doesn't add much to the conversation either, but the internet school-yard-bullying these last few days is hilarious.The numbers look a lil weird to me. I actually really like the attempt, and give them praise for trying to make it work, but I almost wish the bottom right corners of some of these numbers, like the right "2" on the Smith jersey, was rounded to match its companion. I usually go all bat about numeral that are half rounded and half box cut (like Seattle), but here I actually think you can go a hair further by making that relationship the "rule" for the jerseys.Overall, pretty great though. Just some lil inconsistency things (like, shouldn't the pants have the outer stripe flaring out behind the knee?) in the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKHardee Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 The back of Greenways jersey that has both numbers using the serif is a good look. The one serif, one not thing is DUMB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
