terrible
T Bob talked about the pro combat and said how awesome they were. Basically the old yellow pants you had to do some serious stretching to get them to fit and after that they are hot and dont have the form fitting the pro combats do.
he likes doing the one change every once in a while. the players love the white jerseys and also think our helmet is just amazing. Even went on to say oregon just goes over board, but they have nike backing them so its really the only recruiting tool they have.
I just dont get why they cant make the pro combat and do our traditional whites without the stripe on the shoulders going all the way down? Can they not do that material in yellow for the pants or something?
he said bama is switching to that flywire tech like they wore in the bcs championship. but they arent changing their jersey, just the material they are made out of.

gross, those oregon unis are terrible. Mainly just that shite on the shoulder pads. And of course the O on the side of the helmet.

I really don't either. All they changed on the numbers is the angle of the corners. Used to be 45° and now they're more upright. I don't see how such a minor change can stir up so much controversy. Then again, this is the rant.
can you not see the diff?
I just think the stripes going down to the pits isnt as clean. Look at Loston's pic. Looks like the just put tape there.

Who the F in the football office, whether it be Miles or Stringfellow or whomever, thinks that smaller numerals look better?
That's
If anything , they should be adding bigger numerals to both the back and front. This new font and smaller size looks very "High Schoolish." Will look even worse on the lineman.
Just watch and wait for the public outcry over this. Even if we beat TCU, LSU fans are going to be bitching about the numerals on the jerseys. And rightfully so. You don't frick with our uniform traditions, especially if the changes look worse.
BTW, why is the SEC logo so damn small? Ours looks like it's about the size of a quarter. You can't even distinguish what it is. Everybody else has a much bigger one.
I do like the longer shoulder stripes though.

quote:LSU football jersey's are anything but MINOR.
Never seen so many jimmies rustled over something so minor.
They're one of the most unique, recognizable and traditional in all of college football. You don't mess with the jersey numeral font and change it to something that looks worse. The longer shoulder stripes look good, but there is absolutely no need to change to a smaller size numeral. I really want to know who's behind this and their warped reasoning.
Yall think Saban is over there in Bammer trying to change their traditional jersey's and the numerals on them?

While I agree that people do complain too much about minor things, the jerseys are not minor. I like the stripe, and I'm all for updating our style, but those numbers don't work. Gonna take some getting used to. I wonder what the purple looks like.

God those are fricking horrible.

Because bama wears a solid and not a jersey with the shoulder stripes. The cut of the jersey necessitates this change. The only reason the short stripes existed in the first place was because of the cut of the modern jerseys.
There are only so many templates to work with. Look at the fact that these jerseys are the exact same cuts as the 2011 pro-combat

There is no reason to change the numbers. We could 100% keep the old numbers and the new stripes.
Quit making excuses. Someone agreed to allow this change at LSU. They definitely could've refused to make the change to the numbers. They look futuristic and stupid.
Why do people hate tradition? LETS JUST MAKE OUR JERSEYS CAMO AND NEON GREEN WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! (yes I know it wasn't that extreme, but its a slippery slope. They should draw a line in the sand)

I usually enjoy jersey changes, but those numbers are awful.
Posted on 7/24/13 at 9:29 am to SportTiger1
number font = 3-9

Maybe the old numbers were too big and they didn't fit in an aesthetically pleasing way with the shoulder stripe going farther down.
I just don't see how switching from one style of block purple numerals to another is such a big deal
When Michigan put yellow piping all over their white jerseys it was kind of a big deal. In this case though, i bet most of the sec fanbases wouldnt even notice a difference, much less casual cfb fans.

Taken from a thread on the MSB, looks like Ole Miss is using the same stripe template as us this year and their numbers aren't all crappy looking,
Posted on 7/24/13 at 9:58 am to Will Munny
I think those are the same numerals that LSU switched to.
Posted on 7/24/13 at 10:22 am to ChewyDante
once again, the shade of purple on the jersey doesn't match the shade of purple on the helmet.
I just don't get it.
I just don't get it.

I pointed out the difference in the post you quoted. Someone else also noted that they are narrower than they used to be.

This I somewhat agree with. If the stripes are going to go all the way around the sleeve then they should be lower, on the arm not the shoulder.

Not quite but they're pretty similar.
