Thread: New Uni's coming

  1. #121
    I want a chromed silver helmet with a grey uni.

    Go home, Georgia Tech. You're drunk.


    People often ask me why I'm not in favor of Utah using a traditional look over making a new one for ourselves. NC State does a good job illustrating my contentions. Red and white teams have a propensity towards "safe" uniform designs that are completely interchangeable among schools. I'm leary of what UA will do to us next season, but I'm also no fan of looking like everyone else.

    And now for a team that very rarely gets it wrong...and has gotten it right, yet again.

    CSU reveals their innaugural UA uniforms. Biggest surprise is that the school apparently chose not to use the new "bone horn" design on the helmet

    The video shows the helmets with horns

    It shows the standard CSU helmet, not the articulated "bone horn" that I linked to in my prior post.

    Yep. But someone up at the U. thinks it's a great idea.

    I may be in a camp of one but I like the topography maps on the uniforms. What sets Utah apart is the amazing mountains and I love how the topography reflects that.

    You are in a camp of 2. Let's name this camp together. I would suggest something that incorporates either the word "Two," or the concept of two.

    I'm not sure that our mountains really set us apart. I, too, am very partial to the Beehive State. It courses through my veins like a drug.

    That being said, Washington, Oregon, California and even Colorado all have mountains that are....dare I say it? Equally if not more impressive.

    What truly sets Utah apart as a state is our culture, if we are to be honest. I think we ought to have a background of Moroni's, Books of Mormon, Wagon Wheels and jello packets. And watered down beer.

    If not, and if you really want to go with geography, then it is our southern region that sets us apart. Nowhere else in the world is like it. It truly is unique and unparalleled.

    I'd drop the topo lines in a second.

    I'd suggest the name include the word "camp," also, as many people go to the "amazing mountains" to camp.

    Perhaps Camp Two.

    There is a place nicknamed Camp 18 in Oregon's amazing mountains of the coast range.

    Camp Two seems about right.

    If we are just going basic name, I would suggest something like Cayump Tyooo, with a full on Cedar City-Loa accent. That's really unique to Utah.

    Look, I've been all about creating a Utah-centric, unique motif for our uniforms that could set us apart in an otherwise unremarkable field of red and white teams....but it ain't a topography map.

    If you look at the 4 other motifs that UA has developed (Maryland's shell pattern, Hawaii's flowers, BC's stained glass, and Northwestern's new Northwestern stripe), ours sticks out in how utterly befuddling it is. Guess what? When people think of Utah and mountains...they don't picture squiggly lines. When this motif was released, most reviewers thought it was just a dumb pattern...akin to the mess that you see on those Adidas uni's I've been posting all off season. Any potential meaning and hipness to a design is lost when people have to have it explained to them.

    The fact is, UA got too clever with this. I can understand not wanting to simply put some triangles on a uniform and call it mountains...which has been done a lot. The designers, however, went too far the other direction and failed to create anything recognizably mountain-like, Utah-related, or iconic.

    Worst of all, the early, confused reviews of the pattern are going to be repeated more vociferously when we release our new uni's that heavily draw on this pattern. We are in danger of having some "ugliest uniforms ever" chatter around this, unless there has been some major retooling behind the scenes.

    I like the topo lines as well.

    What other UA team is wearing white shells on opening day?

    Also, this is a thing...

    TCU adding red highlights to their uni's for the opener with LSU to signify blood. . .

    I suppose the next logical step will be the helmets spraying actual blood at opponents. I could get on board with that.

    Today saw the unveiling of a new UA motif...Temple's owl feathers. It looked almost as painfully stupid as our little squiggly lines.

    I also use Fresno as a good case of why we should never wear monochrome red.
