hawk36 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 New Syracuse uniformsCan someone please give Nike designers a course on good numeral typefaces? This is becoming embarrassing for Nike and for the organizations they are doing it to. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MellowTheMyth Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Syracuse is a downgrade. They should have done something loosely based on the basketball uniforms, and there should have been a block number font to match the "S" logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaydre1019 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Why is it that Syracuse can have great Basketball uniforms with the orange/gray combo, but we get this Crap for football? Yeah they shoulda based these off the basketball uniforms. Silver numbers would've looked really cool. And maybe even the side panel stripes on the pants and two on the sleeve.

Silver numbers would've looked really cool. And maybe even the side panel stripes on the pants and two on the sleeve.It makes you wonder if Nike is going to redo Syracuse's basketball uniforms next. I have a feeling if it is going to be similar to the football numeral/lettering font. Which itself is not going to be pretty.Somehow Syracuse is just destroying tradition by doing this. This is a major downgrade, what are they thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangefaniniowa Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Who is next to get a not so pretty upgrade from Nike? Washington? Oklahoma? Aren't those two schools supposed to be getting new uniforms for 2014? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPDesign Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Oklahoma isn't getting new uniforms. At least, nothing has been announced.I have a vague hunch that they'll adopt the Speed Machine template and maybe add an OU logo to the neck/hip like the RRS uniforms.They're currently one of the only team I can think of still using the Destroyer template.

JPDesign Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 K-StateRight. Like I said, "one of" the only teams left. I honestly think OU and KSU may be it though.Florida State wore it, not anymore obviously. Ohio State and USC were some of the last major holdouts as well, until last year.

RyanMcD29 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Uniforms are official. Syracuse has a guide to it (which yes, include an ORANGE alt as well), and there's some new photos out and about from the announcement, too. I still think the numbers ruin it. As I've said in the past, I can kinda live with the standard Nike GFGS alt given Syracuse itself has gone all GFGS once Nike put it on the basketball uniforms in 2007 (so it kinda justifies it even if it doesn't if that makes any sense), but given the numbers and the fact Nike did a great job with FSU and Miami and a pretty good job with Illinois, it's a disappointment.

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Syracuse looks pretty terrible. Are we down to like 5 teams in ALL of college football that doesn't have a white helmet? Probably 5... 6 or 7 tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPDesign Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I kind of like the pattern on the pants' stripe and sleeve. And I even kind of like the "44" symbol. But everything about the numbers is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFB Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 This will always be Syracuse football to me: Yes, they look like the Cleveland Browns, but when your school's alumni includes Jim Brown and Ernie Davis, it's ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAWeaver Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 The main problem with Cuse's numbers is that they're too tall and have more attention towards the top of the number rather than the center of it. What I'm saying Is not the numbers are big; they look like the correct size. However, they'd look much better if you, say, move the middle portion of the 3, 8, and 4 down. @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
