Uniform/Helmet/Shoe design thread (merged)

It's usually flipped but on like football cleats and basketball shoes they've been flipping it the way shown in the picture.

I'm as confused as GAV. That's not flipped in picture. That's normal isn't it?

Most of the time the swoosh goes like this...

Oops. Yeah that is the correct direction. I guess I'm used to seeing them backwards.

 

[Give_All_Vol]

Glad we got that cleared up lol! Wouldn't want to have to start the push to get adidas back because of a backward swoosh

 

[JohnMcA60]

Some different numbers. Recruits in this week so we should see the jerseys used more.

In both those photos, the 'hook' of the swoosh is to the left.

Now...see anything anywhere with the hook to the right of the viewer?

Honestly wondering, I don't follow Nike enough to know their practices.

Only know that the swoosh is oriented in the same direction on both those shoes, though one has the hook at the heel and the other toward the toe...it's still hook on left.

Oh my gosh is this really a thing? They flip it around on shoes all the time!

Yeah, almost every Nike shoe has it like this...

 

[VFL-82-JP]

Ah cool, thanks. Like I said, I don't follow them enough to know either way.



p.s. Face, you need a paper bag to breathe into? You seem overly excited.

 

[crusse10]

don't y'all think our uniforms would be so much better if we were to switch to Nike?

hey DP, when does the adidas contract expire?

 

[GoVols#18]

I don't think that's true. I have never seen the hook at the heel of the shoe.

 

[crusse10]

I don't think that's true. I have never seen the hook at the heel of the shoe.

It doesn't surprise me because the design of the shoe kind of tapers to the back (which is unusual). if they had the swoosh go the normal way, it wouldn't flow properly with that unusual taper.

 

[LandonVFL]

I don't think that's true. I have never seen the hook at the heel of the shoe.

Ive seen a lot of Lebron shoes have the swoosh at the heel like that.

 

[crusse10]

also for y'all arguing about the swooshes, many Nike shoes have mirror images of the swooshes on the inside and outside, so every angle, 2 swooshes will be facing the same direction at all times

 

[flatiron]

I don't think that's true. I have never seen the hook at the heel of the shoe.

They've put them on the heal of the shoe, the sides and even on the toe. Just depends on the look they are going for.

The standard for Nike from the start of the company was the swoosh always goes from the front to the back, so it always appears to be moving forward. It's only been in the last year or so that they have gone away from it and started applying the swoosh "backwards"

 

[MEDVOL]

I have shoes that I got in 2009 that have the swoosh backwards.

No solid orange? Also think the orange jersey would look better with white neck. Hate the black shoulders on the grays. If they wanted that black/antracit or whatever they call it, in the color pattern, maybe just outline the numbers with it. Disappointed with the decision to go with those over all the other awesome designs we've seen mocked up.

Rant over

I'm pretty sure the unis can be mixed and matched, so all orange is a possibility. Also, the vast majority of the mockups that were out prior to July 1 looked like absolute garbage, IMO.

Forgot to mention that a white collar on the orange jersey would look so so bad.

I agree, most did. But BR or SDS, or one of those sites had some nice ones. They had the stripes on the facemask.

Well my shoes were actually team shoes. I played football at a nearby college, so its possible that the athletic dept ordered them that way. I haven't seen any with reversed swoosh since.
