Jersey Gripes 2015-16

Post by Oliver »

Sorry to be that guy again for all those that don't care, but it bothered me (maybe because of the poor play) that TCU's jerseys looked a little cleaner than ours. I know it's super nit picky, but I'm just curious, who designs our jerseys? I feel like they need a slight refresh.
Image

Even though our colors are unbeatable, and the general layout is good, the Nike jerseys below have an extra layer of thought, creativity and design, even if it's very subtle.

I just want to do something truly unique to us, something iconic. I guess for those that don't think it matters, to me it's about creating a top tier culture where we offer the best of everything, and an overall attention to detail. Recruits, players and fans do notice it.

Memphis has the nice panel on the back, we just leave ours awkwardly blank
Image

One thing that bothers me about our blue collar is that it looks floppy and cheap without a clean logo in the middle, couldn't we add a little icon like this. I also think the two stripes are kind of plain and overused, UCONN has done something simple, but unique
Image

Case and point, Yale has our exact same jersey template this year!
Image

I think Tulsa's home whites look cleaner because the letters aren't so fat, our's look squeezed in on top of the numbers
Image

Again, these are good, but not great, and don't get me started on Keith's taped sleeves...and notice again that UCSB is wearing the exact same jersey as us, no unique design

We aren't part of the elite Nike level yet so we don't get the fancy unis. I actually like the set we've been using and I like the big SMU. It pops on tv.

One of my ongoing pet peeves is the red used by UConn on their uniforms. I know many of you get upset about black, but using red when your colors are national flag blue and white is insane. I have no complaints about SMU's uniforms.

Sorry Ollie, I completely disagree. The Blue looked great on tv. The look is simple and the bold letters/numbers pop.

And forgot to mention. in the last image, the UCSB jerseys have the same floppy blank blue collar, and the two gross pieces of blue electrical tape running down the side...that's kind of sad....

Did Keith learn to wear his sleeves from a 1990's female soccer player?

I hear ya, I'm just tired of tier 2 teams rolling into Moody with the exact same stock jersey template as ours...I think the color blue on the collar looks really nice too, but it looks cheap without any logo design in there in my opinion

Our uniforms look fine-especially the blue

I like our bball jerseys. The red font on the letters looks great.

We need to invite Chad Morris out to some bball games and tell him that our bball team has some good-looking jerseys. Our football jerseys are a train wreck.

Are we shooting for fine, or spectacular though. Again, I think the colors and layout are fine as well, but when Yale and UCSB roll in wearing the same high school looking jersey template as ours, I just have to ask if we can do something better

I still like last year's white script SMU throwbacks. Big $$$ right there!
