Uniform/Helmet/Shoe design thread (merged)

[vol_fields]

So I made this uniform tweak. The new undershirt trend could be used to bring back those sweet stories we used to have. Just a though I had. Thoughts?

 

[vol_fields]

And by stories I meant stripes. Thanks iphone....

It was really more a joke, more than I was trying to be a jerk. Sorry if it came across harsh. I should have added a smiley to let you know I wasn't trying to be a jackass. It was more of a slight dig at the fact that pic has been posted several times.

I saw this on twitter. Apparently a fan tweeted this to some players trying to drum up some support for this design. Of the throwback ideas, this is one of the cleaner looks (IMO). I admit that it is more of a toss to the past than an actual throw.

Thanks for the shout out man. Haha

For my tastes, I could see this uni in a one off throw back scenario. But I'd rather see a white throw back helmet with it. The orange helmet with this combo just makes me think of how much I don't want to look like the Cleveland Browns...unless this is just a ploy for more Haslem money????

haha! now that you say it I agree that an orange helmet would look better. i dont want to be associated with the browns in any way!!!

First part- what?

Second part- have you looked at the 1914 jerseys?

I think he means that if Adidas made that uniform there would only be 3 stripes instead of 4 as pictured since 3 stripes is their "thing".

I never once said they shouldn't be remembered. There are ways to honor teams that don't require the football team wearing non-school colors during a game. The only thing I've really been adamant about is that we should wear exclusively orange and white.

But that's just it. Football has always remembered teams by the throwbacks. I do agree with you though. However seeing it for one game would not bother me at all. It'd Be good for the players and most fans.

did you hate the black cleats? not nitpicking at you, just curious. i miss them.

Man I dispise the black cleats....love the new orange and white look...keeps things looking sharpe and nice. just imo.

 

[Cpatter4]

Black and orange has a more menacing and intimidating look in my opinion.

 

[MFJones]

No problem.

This is what I imagine a full uniform would look like with these (the pants stripes are weird because I did them late last night, but you all get the idea):

Great job on the design! It's possible some slight modifications could be introduced, but this is definitely the best design that I have seen thus far. Great blend of tradition and modernization for a new look uniform. I hope the 'powers to be' are following this thread. :good!:

I really love the use of the old Adidas leaf too....I'm just not that big of a fan of numbers on the side of the helmet.

Put some orange pants with this and I'm on board.

Adidas wont allow 4 stripes (3 is its motto - no matter what) - as shown on the undershirt and they do look like Bears jersey even though its supposed to be a 1914 UT jersey

It wouldn't look like the Bears jerseys IRL because 1) it's not blue and 2) the stripes are on the undershirt, not the shoulders of the jersey

Incorrect. Michigan's similar throwbacks and sleeves featured far more than 3 stripes. You're reading way too much into their motto.

Yeah me too, black cleats were so much better. White shoes look weak.. I hate em!

Plus the Bears jerseys have stripes with outlines and a giant GSH wordmark on the sleeve.

Put GRN on the sleeves --

I would go for white/orange on the road and black at home

Initials don't match that particular throwback year, but I'd still go for it!!!

iirc, Adidas can't do three stripes on uniforms, as it is considered their logo, and their logo has to be limited to a certain size.

Bingo.
