Dave in Green Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Since Zipmeister is obviously boycotting this thread, I'll ask the burning question: Does anyone have a photo of the new Zips jock strap so we can see if it's going to be chrome or gold?

Blue & Gold Posted March 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Here's a better view of the helmet, color-wise. Both the face mask and Z-logo are definitely navy blue. https://www.facebook.com/robert.cochran.399 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balsy Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Alright...I approve, looks good! I still hope they use the two different helmets they have from time to time. Chrome and the gold, with a mixture of different pant colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akzipper Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Would be pretty cool if they had metallic gold numbers on the jerseys to match. Also I think if they had a second helmet option, navy blue with a gold Z would look awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staton14 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Now that I can tell that it's navy blue and not black, I'll give it a 9 of 10. Something about the size/placement of the Z looks slightly off to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyzip84 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 It's still a little hard for me to form a strong opinion with the limited views, but so far I think this new look is a home run. While I also would like the zipper to be incorporated, I really like the striking color scheme (still true enough to "our" colors, IMO) and the increased size of the Z (was a LITTLE hard to make the Z out from afar last year). Can't wait to see the finished product! Go Zips!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're just generic jerseys to bring in a few bucks if anyone is willing to buy such an ugly thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balsy Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I saw those a couple of weeks ago...DISCUSTING! Doesn't even look close to our Jersey right now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Roo Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Thinking about the helmets.. A better look -- in my opinion -- would be a Matte Blue with the Reflective Gold Z..... would be awesome. I can't see the Z on the Gold Helmet -- its just in outline... At least fill in the Z all Blue or something.Just sayin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balsy Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 To be fair K-Roo...we might be ableto see it better when they're on the field...all we've seen so far are pictures in not-so-good lighting and possibly with filters/flashes.

The metallic/chrome gold is sometimes overpowering on the field. They pick up a lot of colors from the sky, crowd, stadium, etc that make it tough to see logos.

zippy5 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I like. That isn't a tire tread on the jersey.. could it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akzipper Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I like. That isn't a tire tread on the jersey.. could it be?It's just a texture on all of the new Adidas jerseys.You can also see it in this photo.I actually like the gold facemask better than the blue. Hopefully they add the A-Roo logos on the jersey sleeves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staton14 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I didn't even really notice the texture on the jersey. I think we should label it as a tire tread even if its not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
