AD Wildhack Press Conference - Friday 10:00 a.m.

[GoSU96]

I don't know why, but modern jersey shoulder stripes always end mid-shoulder. It looks stupid.

Totally agree.

 

[GoSU96]

Just give me these and call it a day...

That's always where I've been at. The change was as bad as the P for Gerg exchange. Funny how TGD was in front of both of those.

 

[sutomcat]

Totally agree.

Yes. Hate that look. Of all the awful things Nike and Dr Gross did to the football uniforms, that might have been the worst. Probably not, but it was right up there.

Other than the association with losing, why? Clean, traditional, legible, doesn't scream "Arena Football League"...I think there's a lot to like with the 2005 uniforms.

If you sole criteria is legibility, they were okay. Not great. Adequate.

I hate the 'too cheap to finish the shoulder stripe' look. I hate the number on the side of the helmet. I hate the wrong color orange being used. I hate it all.

Orange looks a little dark? I think that's what Nike was giving the hoops program in those years, too.

The shoulder stripe trend is weird, the incomplete stripe is something I don't get. Full stripe would look cooler.

These look to me like a MAC or WAC team uniform. Some team I saw play once at 10 pm some Tuesday night on ESPN2.

The Syracuse uniform is known for a clean, simple look. Going all orange, going all white, adding ugly half stripes...these are all changes that weren't needed, that look like they were generated by a random uniform generator.

The numbers, while not as readable as SU uniforms of the past, are a lot easier to read than the ones that would follow these, no question about that.

But white shirts/white pants will never be Syracuse. Neither will orange shirts/orange pants for that matter.

Especially when the orange fades badly over the course of the season. That kind of stuff should never happen.

Yeah, single-color uniforms are bush, I agree with that.

If I recall correctly, the the weird shoulder stripe was started by LSU back in the day and they have kept it.

I suspect it has to do with Nike (and other manufacturers). I'm sure they'd say it has to do with modern jerseys fitting more snugly, or something. But it looks dumb. They used to extend the stripe back in the day and it looked a ton better.

 

[bnoro]

I don't know why, but modern jersey shoulder stripes always end mid-shoulder. It looks stupid.

It's because of the jersey construction. Different materials below shoulder level.

These are great and I would love to see them back. My personal preference would be a slight modification with the helmets, that being having navy face masks vs. 1920's grey. I also would prefer the numerals in the white jerseys to be Orange, piped in blue or the opposite of what the picture depicts. Both Auburn & UVA share our color hues, and both have blue numerals in the whites, so if we had Orange ones, it would differentiate ours to an extent. I'd also love to the keep the Fort Drum logo on the unis as well.

I figured it was something like this. I mean, we put a man on the moon, but we can't extend a shoulder stripe an extra 3 inches.

Well, we could, but NASA’s budget got cut halfway through research.

 

[kcsu]

I see gray helmets with white tops and gray pants.

Orange lids, white Jerseys orange pants.

 

[SmilinBob]

I just want orange somewhere on the jersey and to be able to read the numbers (Unless Babers is being sneaky and has tiny #'s to screw with the opposition) other than that, whatever thrills the players/recruits is good with me.

 

[nzm136]

I’m (hopefully) a year late for terrible ideas, but I have one...

Hypercolor uniforms

For anybody who doesn’t know, those are the shirts that change color. I think that their color changes can be a factor of water (sweat), heat, or touch (might be redundant with heat).

To save everyone a couple of minutes...
