Unis for 2017 Season

Post by thewebboy »

Any chance we get a few set from Nike for 2017? I know we previously went 2 years between jersey sets.

I do like the new sets introduced in 2015, mostly because we brought back brown.

However I would love to see a few tweaks if we are getting new sets... use our font for numbers/bowling green, ditch the shoulder color.

It looks like our last two sets were picked from a template in a catalog. I'd love to see something a bit more custom.

We don't have money for new uniforms. We don't even have money for athletic supporters. Lol. If we don't have many for tudors how can we afford to buy 85 uniforms or 85 cups.

Overall, what we have is pretty good. I like the shoulder color. I don't care for the font they used to write "Bowling Green," including on the pants.

I guess we will find out soon enough.

I love Nike products and love that we went with Nike two years ago, but most of our uniform combinations looked a complete mess, they were too busy and were a mish mash, hodgepodge look mainly because of those stupid shoulder patch colors and some of the color selections for the numbers. The shoulder patches only looked good when they matched the pants or helmet, and when they didn't they made the uniforms looked extremely disjointed. The fix is simply: Do away with the shoulder patches altogether. They were a terrible look and they suck. It'll clean up the jersey and make them look so much more fluid when mixing them with the different pants and helmets combinations. Also, make the chest/back numbers match the shoulder numbers. Make the numbers white with a brown outline on both the chest/back and shoulders on the orange jersey, and make the numbers orange with a brown outline on the chest/back and shoulders for both the white and brown jerseys. Problem solved and the uniforms will fulfill their potential and look bad-ass!
GO BG!!!

This was my favorite look.

I would love to see a solid brown jersey with no stripes or weird patterns or ridiculous fonts, plain white pants, orange helmet with LT logo. Classic.

On the road with be a white jersey with orange pants.

Then, they would roll out some crazy looking alternative uniform on special occasions to please the youngins'

That's one of the best to my eyes. I like brown/orange/brown, and I think the reverse would be great, too.

Agree - I just love the simplicity of uniforms past. Oklahoma, I think, does it better than most in that they have simple home/away uniforms with a slight variation on these as a third option.
