mattwillcox Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 The retail version of the FSU jersey on the Speed Machine template is so superior to the Mach Speed version. Cutoff collar aside, the sleeves kill it.why on earth did they shrink the shoulder pattern on the diamond swoosh version?..looks terrible.It might just be a poor photoshop job. The pattern looks normal in the picture from the official release. Portfolio Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaydre1019 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 TCU helmets for the Peach Bowl...so glad they are wearing these...maybe Ole Miss will bust out the powder blues ? Tcu is one of the few schools that does chrome right. Chrome sticker on a normal shell and a normal white decal on their chrome shell. And their shade of chrome actually looks like the purple they use. Not an abomination like Michigan states chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pattern looks normal in the picture from the official release.I think it is just a bad photoshop. The angle of the striping on each sleeve is different on the diamond jersey. It appears straight across on the far side sleeve and at an upward angle on the near side sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Those Ohio State uniforms are such a downgrade from their regular ones, it's not even funny. I'll never understand why people actually like that sleeve-stripe pattern. It always looks clunky and way too big to me. There are better ways to work silver into the jerseys.I'll just copy/paste and expand on my reasoning from a few pages back: 1. They infuse gray into the jersey, which the regular stripes do not. You could outline the current stripes in gray or make the sleeves gray to have a gray background, but then you lose the best part about the stripes (see #2). I don't agree that there are better ways to work silver into the jerseys.2. They highlight the uniform with classic, traditional football striping, which makes the difference between just a football uniform, and Ohio State's classic football uniform. It is what makes it look old school. The cut of the template leaves something to be desired, but it's close enough for me to get excited about.3. The helmet and pants are the same background color so the stripes on those two backgrounds absolutely must remain consistent (and they finally corrected this this season by slimming down the black stripes on the pants). But the jersey isn't the same background color so it's not as jarring to see different striping. If they had red socks with matching stripes it'd be another great idea. 4. Consistency at all costs can be dangerous because sometimes a uniform where everything is consistent can become too "matchy-matchy" and feel computerized and soulless. Not everything must be the same all the time. Like Oldschoovikings said so well in another thread, "art ain't math". And I'm a guy that loves some consistency, but sometimes uniforms with a little quirk that harkens back to a simpler time when every design element wasn't overthought can be a good thing.There you have it. It's such an upgrade over their current jerseys it's not even funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would pack it like every other road game - not in moving boxes.I would imagine it's new gear. Wouldn't really expect new uniforms and such. But that's just me. "I believe in Auburn and love it!"

MJWalker45 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I don't think so since they haven't had them all year. It'd be nice to see O-B-W or O-B-O though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was guessing it was something along those lines but the masses were speculating it might be road versions of our throwback uniform since we're playing Texas.

Depending on the program and bowl game, players will get cleats/gloves etc. They also get to keep their jerseys, some will be from the regular season with a patch others will just order a new jersey specifically for the bowl. Then there's the swag bags that are provided by the bowl committees on top of the gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razorback447 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 That's interesting to hear about the patch. I always assumed the just sewed them on the current jerseys. I guess that makes sense however to get a new set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkerws Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 They'll get those at the game. That's more than l likely school or bowl provided gear. When it's time to travel they will do their normal processes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
