Uniform/Helmet/Shoe design thread (merged)

TIFWIW but I heard we will be wearing blue alternates. Kind of an opposite-color-wheel thing.

You serious Clark?

The powder blue from the lady vols uniform.

I've thrown out a couple in this thread, but don't look for black and the unveiling should be mid-July.

what do you anticipate the reaction will be?

Two questions. First, should we be expecting something with "historical inspiration" or will it be more of a new age look? Secondly, will the pink breast cancer awareness accents you mentioned be a part of the alternate, or will that be a separate thing entirely?

Given that black has basically been ruled out, the color is easily surmised, IMO.

Black is but one shade within the spectrum of millions of visible colors.

Within the context of pigment chemistry, black is, indeed, a color. With respect to the spectrum of visible light, black is not a color (Are Black & White Colors?). It implies the absence of color and, for that reason, we refer to a black hole as "a region of spacetime from which gravity prevents anything, including light, from escaping" (Black hole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).

I was waiting for this.

But what about shades of black that aren't "pure"? I'd imagine most of the things we have here aren't really black black. I read this and the pigmentation deal is what would apply to a uniform.

EDIT: So wouldn't my statement still apply because the uniforms would still be combinations of visible colors?

REDACTED

I was told they are a color that's almost kind of black but not really because it's lighter. Or it could be almost kind of white but not really because it's darker.

I could see how this theme would make a great uniform.

Now you're talking. That covers just about every conceivable option, no matter how broadly or narrowly one chooses to define the matter.

Probably couldn't be any worse than a lot of the other trash that the uniform companies put out there on a weekly basis.

i believe he said something along the lines of the alternate, the pink accent, and the bowl alterations being separate topics. dont quote me tho. its in the last 5 or so pages i believe.

Some of both.

Pink is a completely separate issue/game and will probably only be socks/wristbands.

Can you confirm that the alternates will have numbers on the jerseys?

[GOATeric14berry]

My sources say yes yes YES. there will be numbers on the jerseys

Dammit I knew my sources were leading me in the wrong direction.
