Vol uniform/helmet design discussion (merged)

How about a black stripe between the orange stripes on the pants??

That would be fugly.

We need Nike.....nuff said.

I'm not sure how many people on this board asking for Nike stuff have ever actually used their equipment, but I prefer Adidas hands down. My Adidas have always been more comfortable and durable than my Nike cleats.

Here's to us wearing the orange for the opener!

all orange?? I could go for that.

Are we the home team? If so that's a no-brainer.

But even if we're the visitor and NC State doesn't object, we could wear orange since there's definitely enough contrast between our orange and their red.

In fact in most years there's probably not a team on our schedule we couldn't wear our orange jerseys against on the road.

 

[gordonr24]

I meant just being the home team and wearing the home orange. I haven't read anywhere on who in fact is the home team. I hope it's us.

 

[VolsRule]

if UT is the visiting team, will they wear all white or white jerseys and orange pants?

If we are the visiting team, I want the white on orange look. We're the big orange and we should always wear more orange.

vfl imo

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I think because it's one of the opening "special" games both teams should wear their dark jerseys.

Not a fan of the orange and white. I prefer all white.

I can't stand the current uniforms.

The Orange looks dull and drab on tv in hi-def. Both uniform jerseys look like they're all 2 sizes too small for the player wearing it, which also makes the numbers shift around in all directions, looking like they were ironed on by a bunch of intoxicated workers in the factory. The "TV" numbers need to be back up on the shoulders and not on the sleeves.

The name font is fugly, too small, and half the time the letters peel off as soon as the player gets wet or starts sweating.

And I've been saying for about 7 yrs now that the numbers on the jersey are just too small. First it was only the front, now it's both front and back. They tend to get caught under the shoulder pads easily. Most of the time Tyler Bray looks like he's wearing 0 instead of 8.

Ugh.

Looks fine to me. Adjust your color settings.

Are we watching the same games? I don't see half the "problems" you do

I sort of agree with you about the numbers being too small and the jerseys being too tight, but I don't see anything wrong with the orange. If anything, it seems brighter than it used to be.

Current uniform- "new" orange, even smaller and misshapen numbers:

Before revision by Adidas- "old" orange but still too small a front number:

Casey Clausen, after the front numbers were shrunken, in "old" orange:

Casey Clausen, before the front numbers were shrunken (pic is low res and washed out, making the orange look lighter, but shows the larger front number):

I really like the orange now.So glad dooley has worked hard to get the colors to match.

 

[VolsRule]

why does UT use small numbers on the jerseys?

 

[shawnb82]

why does UT use small numbers on the jerseys?

good question. i loved the 1998 large numbers!

 

[Boca Vol]

why does UT use small numbers on the jerseys?

Don't you know...because large numbers hate UT!

To match what?

 

[Boca Vol]

Not uniform related, but since we're talking about matching colors, the goal post pads are hideous. They aren't even close to the correct shade of orange. Stupid ***** topic of the day is now crossed off!

 

[VolsRule]

To match what?

derek's custom tailored $1,400 pants??

 

[UTvols#1]

To match what?

The pants never matched the jerseys and the helmets never matched anything.
