When with the uniform number font die?

[steeleer]

I usually am not a big uni commenter. It's not like I wait breathlessly for what our color combo will be from game to game.

That being said....our numbers look dumb.

I believe this will be season #3 with this font. Am I being unreasonable to hope that our 2017 uni's will go with a different font?


EDIT: Why auto correct replaced "will" with "with" in the title is a mystery.

I agree. I don't complain or comment much on uinforms but I don't care for our numbers. Just looks like they are trying to hard. Regular numbers will do just fine.

Do you why the don't was created? It was a nice idea but sometimes a theme gets taken too far. I am not a fan of the numbers but I like the uni design.

Yes, I'm aware of the symbolism.

Still don't like them.

The rest of the uni is fine.

I'll freely admit my old-school bias when I sat the 1988-89 uni is by far the best ever here.

I've never understood why people don't turn off auto correct in the first place. Flush that crap!

 

[old buzzard]

I love our uniforms but I agree that the lettering leaves something to be desired. I suppose that Nike has the final say in that.

 

[Rootmaster]

Yeah, I am really concerned about the design of our uniforms...particularly the numbers! I am sure that we will play slower and make more mistakes because of them. Equally sure that it will lead to a host of less-than-stellar game day coaching decisions. In addition, those "unis" will probably lead to bully like behavior by the Mountaineer opponents and thus, key losses!

I honestly kinda like em, and apparently in the minority in that regard ...but to each their own I suppose. Don't worry they will change soon enough... $$$ and latest/greatest dictate so....

As long as our state embraces the coal industry, the numeral coal pick design is appropriate and gives us a different look than other programs.

But I have always liked the classic large font numerals look during the late 1990's . . .

And the classic circa 1988 version with the two blue stripes down on the pants . . .

My personal all-time favorite.
Followed by late 90's.
3rd 80's era.

But I actually like the current Jersey look and love the different combinations.

The NASCAR numbers were hideous and the worst uniforms we've ever worn.

I don't care what number they use as long as they get rid of that all yellow set of unis. It looks like bananas playing football.

I don't mind the all gold occasionally.

 

[Chris from WV]

Agreed; I like to see the Old Gold uniforms with both football and basketball at times . . .

To quote Lee Trevino: "Yellow is the color of cowardice."

And while we're at it, the above color is not Old Gold. It's some kind of Maize/Yellow/Mustard color.

This is Old Gold: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_gold

I don't like the all yellow either, but as I understand it the color choice belongs to the kids playing ball for us. If they like it it's OK with me. That being said, if I was in control our "away" uniforms would be the white on white with the yellow helmet. That is a great looking combo.

Waaaahhhh...bring back the NASCAR fonts?

I'm beginning to ask why some of you are fans with the fickle nonsense you complain about.
