Re: OS Uni Snob Thread

Not a fan of those mocks at all.

The 2nd once is nice, but it's basically their throwback. I don't like the logo, I don't like the Bucks font and I hate the alternate. The lack of purple is horrifying and I would much rather them use the throwback that they are alluding to with the alternate jersey.

The logo is just too... "New-age sleek"-y for me, I don't know how to describe it. My favorite Bucks logo is still this one.

That being said, if the logo were changed to something decent and the script/number color on the first one were changed... I'd be all for those jerseys. I still dislike the lack of purple though.

The aways are passable. The rest are eww.

So, Hawai'i football (well all of their men's sports actually) is going back to the Rainbow Warriors name. Wonder what UA does with their unis?

What is the obsession with Milwaukee wearing purple? They only did it for about 10-15 years. They wore green from 69-93 and from 06-present. Green is where they should stay.

Because it was a good look for them.

I don't think Purple should be their main color, but it should be used in their uniforms. It's better than being yet another NBA team with Red, which isn't even a great look for them.

If I'm not mistaken, the only team that isn't the Rainbow Warriors is the football team. All the other teams still use that name. I'm pretty sure the baseball team is called the Rainbows.

Re: OS Uni Snob Thread

Yeah, those Bucks mock ups are awful and the logo looks like something straight out of the early 2000s.

They should bring back the old retro jerseys. These:



And add a splash of purple.

Rainbows =/= Rainbow Warriors, golf and volleyball were also just Warriors.

Didn't know that about golf and volleyball. I thought DrJones said the football team was the only one that just went by Warriors.

I was more of a fan of the '80s iteration of that uniform but if they bring back the rainbow shoulder loops with the '80s helmets that would look great.

Per wiki:

Prior to the year 2000, the University of Hawaiʻi's men's teams were all referred to as the Rainbow Warriors, complemented by an athletics logo featuring a rainbow. However, in a controversial marketing strategy over which many at the University and throughout Hawaiʻi have misgivings, the school changed its athletics logo to a stylized "H" and allowed each team to pick its own team name. This led to a situation where the basketball, swimming and diving, and tennis teams retained the team name of "Rainbow Warriors"; the baseball team adopted the name "Rainbows"; and the football, golf, and volleyball teams adopted the name "Warriors". As of May 2013, all male teams at the university will once more be referred to as the "Rainbow Warriors."

Women's teams all stuck with the "Rainbow Wahine" name.

Re: OS Uni Snob Thread

As for the Bucks, I was thinking some type of simple recoloring of minor parts to bring in the purple, while using old design.

Something like this for the whites.

Spoiler

Something like this for the coloreds.

Granted, I would make more tweaks, but I'm no photoshop whiz and there are some pixel issues that didn't recolor properly so some parts look crappy. I also realize I messed up on the colored shorts. They should look like the white ones, obviously with a color change where necessary.

The lime green waistband looks awful.

I actually like the mockups that That Guy posted. Nothing wrong with modernizing a logo. Much better than the cartoony looking Bucks logo that ubernoob posted and that looks like it was done on MS Paint.
