Dave in Green Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 ... Not trying to be an asshole, but it really turns me off.I understand. It's like the Cleveland thing -- some folks on here hate all things Cleveland and others don't. Some like one uniform and others don't. Some prefer the Roo to the Z and others don't. Some prefer beer over wine and others don't. I don't expect we'll ever reach 100% agreement on any issue in this forum ... other than the pure joy of beating Can't.

zipsoutsider Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I think sticking with an Akron city versus Ohio identity makes sense as we do try to hop on the Lebron train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balsy Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 +1. The Roo helmet is very cool, and $200 less than the Chrome Z. I'd like to see them offer the authentic replicas of the Black Jerseys as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Authentic replica? Am I the only one seeing the oxymoron here? If the gear is authentic, the price seems fine. If its a replica..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balsy Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Authentic replica? Am I the only one seeing the oxymoron here? If the gear is authentic, the price seems fine. If its a replica.....Replica meaning it's the exact same design, . Authentic meaning it's not a rip off, produced by the same company that produces the helmets. I don't think its an oxymoron at all. Kinda like how they gave out those #7 Jerseys last season. Those weren't authentic, they were produced by some company other than Addidas.

MDZip Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I know this is not a UA uniform post, but the Navy helmets for the Army Navy game are all hand painted ships, grouped by seven different position groups. Those are awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue & Gold Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 The solid blue uni's we wore against Buffalo were great. Blue helmet, jersey & pants. My favorite of the year.I also like our solid white look on the road.The white kangaroo helmet we wore against Can't was pretty sweet too. (IMHO would have looked better with white pants.)I love the Z logo on anything. Basically, I love the uniform combos we've got going right now. Very cool. Honestly some of my favorite uniforms in college football & I'm not just saying that because I'm a Zips fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the equipment team did a great job "mixing" our look all year. They have their own twitter handle @ZipsEquipment. They gave a shout out to Healy Awards for getting the decals ready this week. I forgot to take a photo Friday, darn it, but they posted one.

Balsy Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 All the equipment this year was fantastic. They did a great job turning water into wine, considering they had the base of the old uniforms to work with. I kinda wanted to see Blue pants, blue jersey and the Gold Helmets against Can't, but I guess we wore that combo earlier in the year?

We ALWAYS seem to do the black uniforms in national games for some asinine reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ALWAYS seem to do the black uniforms in national games for some asinine reason.Probably because they are our most modern look.Personally, I think the blue and white uniforms look pretty dated. I hope we see an a refresh in 2016. The helmets have been a good step. Nice use of different decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hip Zip Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Word on the streets is that Scott Scarborough's interior designer had a hand in the design. I'm expecting something exceptional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The black jerseys don't have that currently as far as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rd&twenty Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 As a designer with more than 32 years experience, I feel that is one butt-ugly, poorly drawn font. I've hated it since it's introduction. I would prefer to keep it off the uniforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
