chuckymack Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Man, this thing dissolved into a 'post any number font you can think of' thread fairly quickly. Knicks-style NBA block as 'Worst Number Font Ever'?Seems kind of a stretch. Sigs are for sissies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared41 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I'm just not a fan of that whimsical/old timey style myself.I'm all about the whimsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromatic Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Whoever talked the Rooney's into going with this? Should be hanged, shot, drawn, quartered, eighth, boiled in oil, castrated, and have then the pieces simultaneously flown to different destinations.Thats not a bad font. It may not fit with the Steelers according to some fans, but theres nothing wrong with the font itself.I like the Lions font. Its easy to read, not too out there, and fits with the rest of their branding.I'd also like to nominate every font with a dropshadow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Wasn't there a number font so illegible in college football a few years back that the ref didn't allow them to be worn during play? Maryland camo maybe? I tried searching, but couldn't find them. That has to be given strong consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The font was the same as their regular one, but it was illegible with the color/pattern on the numbers. They were the wounded warrior project uniforms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandMooreArt Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Roman after all this time i still cant believe you dont like that Minnesota font. Its absolutely gorgeous!this year has been a bad one for Nike in the font game. The Dolphins lead the way and last years Seahawks font are 2 of the poorest mumber designs ive ever seen GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eye Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 The Brewers' use of Times New Roman is at least in the debate, if it isn't the worst number font for sports. Times New Roman has no place on a uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lahaye7 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I think the skintight way football players wear their unis these days contributes to some of the font ugliness. But , I agree with the XFl Memphis fonts being the worse.

OnWis97 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I would nominate University of Minnesota's football font which is much belovded by desginers on this board. The brick sublimation is terrible, and the awful wonky font has inspired other teams to use awkward and inappropriate block serifs, such as the Houston Astros and Dallas Stars.Couldn't disagree more.Except for the brick sublimation. That's just dumb.That's funny. I was gonna say I kinda like the sublimation (it's at least not noticeable enough to be a big problem), but I am totally with him on the overly-boxy font. In the picture above, the 1 is fine. I can even deal with the 4 (though it's overdone), but the corners on the others are awful. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

jhans203 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 As far as block fonts go, this one screams "cheap rec league." I have no idea why it's so common in the NBA in particular.The font numbers of Philly and Utah were copycats of those used by the New York Knicks. So blame it on the Knicks.I blame Adidas.

-kj Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 the original Wild font...which remains awesome. I can't stand the block font they've used since the red jerseys came around. I like good block fonts, but that one's heinously awkward. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!
