Wounded Warrior=ouch. Serously, UA, get your act together.
Nah, it's an attempt to make the flag look weathered. It happens to look a lot like a blood splatter...apparently, it's up to you to decide which message is worse.
What tops that for me is that if you stripped the name from the front of the shirt, you would have no idea what team you were looking at. Not one fleck of purple on the uni and the NW logo is hidden and nearly invisible. Cardinal sin of sports apparel #1: Your corporate brand overwhelms your team brand.
This needs to be posted. Hawaii's throwbacks for this weekend. While they didn't pick my favorite classic design, this all just screams "Hawaii football" to me.
This video makes me worried that Hawaii is going to mess up this great uniform by wearing their standard helmet, rather than a white throwback.

I wish LaRusso were still posting these. Louisville is making twitter news this morning for the reveal of an awful uniform:

Under Armor did a lousy job with us, but it's nice to know that it could have been worse.
Check out the new Aztec helmet:

Reminds me of the great old Mexico soccer jerseys with the Aztec shield. Never should have gone away from those.
Throwbacks!!!!!!!

The jersey is great! Helmet is nice for a throwback, I prefer the D&F for regular use. Pants are ok, the stripes are a bit weird, but not stupid.
So I guess we are wearing these for the Cal game? I wonder if we have another season of mountain sleeves for our regular uni's.
I feel so strongly about this uniform being our base uniform that I should probably post it in the religion category.
As long as our brand identity is wrapped up in the DnF and Utes name, we'll have to be very cautious in how we use that name/imagery so that we don't risk losing core components of our brand. I think if we were to go away from the DnF and Utes name as our primary branding, it would actually allow us to be more flexible and creative with how we use them. The U-T-A-H on the historic fieldhouse, the interlocking UU, and these throwback inspired uniforms, to me, very much fit and even highlight the evolving brand of Utah football being a blue collar, defense first, field position kind of throwback team. With a high profile game against Michigan, a potential breakout season, and with DTV potentially coming on board and given lots of people essentially a first look at Utah football this season, I think it would be an opportune time to go out and establish this throwback-inspired brand as Utah Athletics. If we're going to make a brand transition, I think this is perfect timing.
That doesn't mean doing away with the DnF or Utes name, it means using that name/imagery more strategically and being able to take more chances with incorporating additional NA motifs during Ute Proud week and a few marquis games.
I'm not a fan of the double U. Never have been.

And here I was dumb enough to believe that Under Armour wouldn't be able to screw up the Utah stripe.

Well those are a far cry from great, but, a million times better than those vomitous mountain sleeves -- A dark & embarrassing period in utah uniforms. :Ashamed:
Those are awful. The stripes are so bad.
It's really not that hard. I guess this is an example of groupthink making things worse. A classic red/white would be so easy to do. A black/white too. But they just can't resist making it busy.
This tweet is perfect.

In my opinion, Utah fans whine too much.
some of us on this forum need to face the hard truth that we're no longer 20 something, and our sense of fashion may be a bit antiquated.
I may or may not be writing this wearing penny loafers, acid wash jeans, a braided leather belts and a sweet light gray members only jacket.

Ugly is ugly, regardless the era. Look, if the designers were striving for an AC Utah Futbol club aesthetic, they really missed the mark. Or maybe the athletic department is thinking about incorporating a new mascot: the Utah Coral Snakes, or Utah Black Widow spiders? Even still, they didn't get it right. A good designer can make red and white work, in a classic, tradition proud sense. But I guess, maybe since there really is no classic, proud tradition aesthetic to draw upon at Utah in the first place, you end up with you got: something that looks like it belongs in a bordello.
