Nitpicky uniform question

Postby East Coast Mustang » Sat Aug 29, 2015 10:53 am

Saw some pics from the scrimmage -- I noticed that on our blue uniforms, some of the new guys have the new font of jersey number (like we wore on our red and white uniforms last year) while most still had the old font that has always been on the blue jerseys since 2013.

For reference:

Old font

It's going to look kind of bush league IMO if our guys have two different fonts for numbers on jerseys in the same game. Also, we need to get rid of that black swoosh on the white jersey and make it red. I'd also like to see the wider stripes come back on the helmets but I will settle for the new stripes on the pants this year which look awesome

Didn't we have that problem last season?

We had different fonts for different jerseys, but now we have different fonts on the same blue jerseys. Don't remember this issue with the blue jerseys last year

Very possible that we didn't scrimmage in the actual game jerseys.

Pretty sure we did have the problem when we wore the blues last season.

Hopefully if we do have any problems they will be rectified Friday.

GO MUSTANGS!!

Not nitpicky. Sometime last year I did a thread over the incorrect details of each uniform and how they are not uniform. Blatant design flaws in my opinion.

Below is a link to the post I mentioned above. I photoshopped how I believe the uniforms should have looked.

1523, could you add the traditional Pony Express white shoes to see how that would look?

We did have different number fonts on the jerseys last night.

By different, I mean we still had mixed fonts on the same set of jerseys. Different 4s, 7s, 1s are obvious. No bueno.

I thought that they looked fine. Some of the issue is caused by the need to have smaller numbers on the front of the jersey than on the back.

Looked good.
