Brave-Bird 08 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I've been working on the media guide at the local newspaper on the Cobb Co. football teams here in NW Atlanta. A lot of photos with guys in game jerseys up close recently, which has kind of sparked my interest in high school teams uniforms. Sometimes they do a better job of some colleges at keeping a good look...while some become just outright ridiculous. Here's some good and bad from my county. As far as I know these are the uniforms they will be wearing this year. South Cobb Eagles (Austell) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinturner95 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Rumor around Bishop Kelly's campus (Boise, ID) is that we'll be getting Nike jerseys for this season. More info to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Those helmet's gradient is pretty badIt reminds me of San Diego State's helmets from the early 2000's. Which IMO were sexy.Anyway, I heard from my friend(who plays football) that my school; Collins Hill(Suwanee, GA) is getting matte green helmets this year. As far as I know, they'll be a dark matte metallic green, which will look great IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wonderbread Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 no i meant, is it possible to have a finish that is both metallic and matte, they are complete opposites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaydre1019 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Idk about anywhere else, but Texas is mostly cheap pro combat templates and matte helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out we are just using flat dark green matte helmets. They look pretty nice IMO.Matte metallic green and other colors is possible though.

_Chased Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 My high school is about to get new unis, our coach won't unveil until fall practice starts. We did get all white helmets for our spring game. They looked terrible with our old unis. we are in blue.When we do get our new unis ill be sure to post them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAB Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Unfortunately my high school is getting NEW BADASS BLACK UNIFORMS even though we already have a near flawless blue/silver look. So yeah, it's BFBS. I haven't seen the full uniform, but I believe we will be wearing a matte black helmet, blue jersey, and black pants. I've tried talking to most kids about how much of a downgrade this is going to be, but the common response seems to be "uhhh they're black so they're cool as hell". Pretty sure I post these every year, but here's the old ones:(ignore the clearly stolen Seminole spear) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look pretty nice IMO.I don't know if the "metallic" helmets were a one hit wonder but you are probably thinking in line when they got new standard gloss finish helmets. As a 2007 graduate from that very school I know I never had metallic anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure I post these every year, but here's the old ones:(ignore the clearly stolen Seminole spear)Nearly flawless uniform? I see 3 separate uniform elements there that in no way connected. It's a disjointed mess, those.Helmet: silver/blue/minimal whiteJersey: Blue/whitePants: (ignoring the mismatched stripe from the Jersey) gray, blue, BLACK. I'm thinking the new BFBS uniform you speak of actually might be better, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant as far as color schemes go, (silver/blue/silver) it was pretty darn good. The pants stripe is incredibly out of place, yes. But I don't really see any problem with the jersey and helmet together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I call for a GHSA investigation! Sadly down around me in South GA there's not much to report. To much history and pride down here in the high school teams to change things around. Camden is the only exception to that I suppose but I don't think they're getting new unis this year. All is calm in the SEC of HS football.
