New Trends in Office Decor

although i like the logo change when the americans became the vulcans in 1975…

i still think they missed a great opportunity to simply flip the old logo (even tho the star would have been “upside down”)…woulda been cool

True, but that’s one of the beautiful things about English soccer. The kits are always changing, within the basic parameters.

If you like the kits, enjoy them while they last. If you don’t, a new one will come along soon. Sort of like Doctor Who. ;)

As downgrades go, this isn’t bad. Well, home at least. Change shirts are a mess.

Have any pics of the new Notre Dame football unis been found?

[quote comment=”388060″](how great were those early sabes unis btw?)[/quote]
As good as (if not better than) any of the O6 is how great they were.

And I wish I could decorate my office cubicle like that.

So what’s everyone’s preferred look for Notre Dame? My faves are:

1. Ron Powlus-era 94-97 (gold neckline, no sleeve trim, ND shoulder logo, Golden Dome neck logo, by Champion)

link

(navy neckline for road uni)
link

2. Joe Montana-era road uniform 75-78 (green neckline and sleeve trim, TV numbers)

link

I don’t like the green home uniforms from that era.

link

Notre Dame’s home uni should always be navy:

link

3. Rick Mirer-era 90-92 (gold neckline and gold sleeve trim, ND shoulder logo, by Champion)

link

(navy neckline and sleeve trim for road uni)
link

Least favorites are:

Arnaz Battle version (early 2000s) wit the gold torso stripe – terrible – by Adidas.

link

Jarious Jackson version (98-99) with ND logo and mutli-striped neckline/sleeves by Champion. Too busy.

The reason the PowerWeb appears to be a different color is because it’s a different material. It’s similar to a TPU-esque rubbery plastic as opposed to the stretch fabric of the rest of the pant, which is why it is distinguishable on solid color pants.

Consider that the kits suffer from the poor picture quality. At least the home kit, the away is ‘hard done by’ as the Brits would say.[/quote]

I don’t think the picture quality has much to do with it – we’ve had link already.[/quote]

I just don’t see anything wrong w/ the home set. That collar shouts ‘footy shirt’and I can life w/ the sponsor as it’s only 3 letter (thou I wish they’d make it w/ a smaller font— but that ain’t ever happening!)

From a limited prospective, the away kit is also simplicity personified– the collar shouts footy kit– I just wish the sleeves had a more toned down treatment.

I find it humorous that the Brits regard the away kit as a ‘american’ design…. I wonder what they refer to all that crappy football shirts designed in the 90’s?? Were those also ‘american’???

I’m ok with white cleats, provided the WHOLE team wears them. I don’t like the situations like D-Wright’s virtually white shoes when the rest of team wears predominantly black shoes, or Alfonso Soriano’s white shoes with the Cubs.

The white shoes are as identifiable with the A’s as any piece of a uniform can be associated with a particular team. Odds are, if someone mentions the A’s uniform, white shoes is what immediately comes to mind.

I’m surprised no other MLB team has adopted the practice as a team-wide rule. IF you were to nominate a team that should go with white cleats full-time, who would it be?

I don’t think it can be any team that wears pins (Yanks, ChiSox, Twins, Astros, Rox). I don’t think it can be one of the teams that already wears a designated color shoe other than black (Cards, Royals). I don’t think it works with teams that wear darker colors, either.

My nominee – Cincy.

My nominee for teams that should wear them with certain alt unis: Houston non-pins uni with the orange hat (provided they go with orange socks, too)

Those A’s uniforms are some of the best all-time, in my mind, including with white shoes. But I think if they had come along when I was in my 30s or 40s, I wouldn’t have liked them. Kind of like youngsters today like all the horns and Oregon-type unis and we older guys don’t.

A lot of college teams wear white shoes for some reason, but you can hardly find white shoes for baseball and football on youth teams anymore, or in the sporting goods stores. The whole trend went from black to white to black over the last 30 years.

White baseball cleats seem to work when they’re related to the overall design, and are intro’d pretty much simultaneously with the new look.

ATHLETICS’ first used them with an existing uni, but added gold sanis and stripes to socks at same time to reflect the footwear change.

ASTROS went to whites in second year of Tequila Sunrise and actually looked better than the black cleats had. The whole uni was so “out there”, so “’70’s,” that they seemed right.

PADRES’ change to white cleats accompanied a revamping that involved going to the all lower-case “padres”, also very ’70s…and that wordmark was still there through the Taco unis.

All the rest (Phillies, final Senators, Angels) simply switching to white with their existing unis was just too…”Look how hip we are.” And therefore fell (and continue to fall) flat.

War Damn Eagle makes a great point. Today, in this era of anything but “avant-garde” unis, whites would look best with an uncluttered set of duds. Maybe that’s why they still work for the A’s. Not much “bumper sticker” thinking on the A’s unis (yeah, black alts, but that’s not really about “clutter”).

Also why Albert Pujols’ “virtually white” home cleats don’t look all that awful, either.

Those Man U home kits are based on their link. Does this fall into “faux-back” territory?

Thankfully I doubt they’ll be wearing those shorts.

I’m not a fan of white shoes in baseball or football, but the A’s get a pass here. And I like the simplicity of their uniforms, though I wouldn’t dislike it if they added green or gold piping. I would prefer a gold jersey to a black jersey, though, as homage to the past.

Sure does make it easy to spot the A’s in a highlight package, though. In this of era of homogenization of baseball unis (especially so many dark Alts), that’s almost a relief. Can focus on the highlight instead of thinking , “Which two frickin’ teams are playing?”

Oh, something was gonna mention.
Kudos to Mets for going royal hats and royal sleeves for both ends of doubleheader yesterday.

That being said, they did it against the Dodgers.
Now, seriously, if you (good or bad not the issue here) have hats, sleeves, even unis, that use black, wouldn’t the place to use them have been against the Dodgers. For, y’know, contrast?

Was more about using yesterday’s doubleheader as an example of how no one seems to take time to think about how the field’s gonna look today. The WHOLE field, not just their team.

Very few do, evidently. We get football games with both teams in navy pants, for example, when at least one them also has, say, athletic gold pants they could have opted to wear.

That’s all, just that you’d think the more visual differentiation you could accomplish the better. Not to mention a better looking “show” going home on TV for the rod and cones and all. Different colors on the competing teams are just flat-out more interesting/entertaining to the human eye. To the senses. To the mind. Not talking consciously, now, rather the involuntary processing of data.

If they wanted it to stand out? Shit, they would put three stripes on there if they could. This stands out plenty and as Ricko says, is totally a “signature” element, like Nike’s horns or UnderArmour’s — whatever their crap is.

Looks like Skip is wearing stirrups! Dan McLaughlin and Al Hrabosky just talked about Skip’s new look in the bottom of the 3rd inning. Al asked Dan if he liked Skip’s new look, and Dan said he always likes that look. Al then said he prefers the pants to be a bit lower than at the knee, and explained how in the past Cardinals players had to show three stripes when blousing their pants. Nice little banter about pants and the Cardinals’ socks.

Cleats should go with the hat.
If a team has a solid colored hat, the cleats should match.
If a team has a dark crown and a lighter bill, the cleats should match the crown.
If a team has a lighter crown and a darker bill (rarely seen these days), the cleats should match the bill.
Having said all of that, white cleats should never appear in baseball.
