Field Aesthetics

[GT flunkout]

There have been some notable changes this year. It's interesting that this is happening during a time when we are supposedly trying to be more consistent with the brand and the logos and colors that are used. Every game so far this year has seen a different end zone color scheme on the field. Most notably to me has been an marked increase in the amount of blue used on the field with the exception of the whiteout game. The use of shadowing instead of outlines is also new in the end zones.

Midfield logo
This is the first season that we have ever used a blue outline for the midfield logo. Just looks strange to me. For the whiteout game we didn't go with the white midfield logo (as done the last two years) but the border of the gold logo did change from blue to white.

ACC logos
These are usually gold lettering with a white underline, or vice versa. This season we have used solid blue as the underline (except for the white out game)

Endzones
CFA kickoff - gold with blue and white outline ( what is probably the most familiar over the last 20 years)

Jax State - gold letters with blue shadow (no outline)

Pitt - gold letters with white border and blue shadow

UNC Whiteout - white letters with gold shadow (no outline)

Wake Forest - blue letters with white outline and gold shadow. First time in 20 years I've seen blue letters in our end zone. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the first time we've ever done it in the history of the program.

Dayum! Serious observation skilz. I hadnt noticed any changes.

I noticed the blue letters this past week, but not the other changes.

When uniform threads aren’t enough, you need next level gay.

Can't believe we switched from rye grass to zoysia.

Same, the blue letters looked funny. But whatever!

Oh, it's Up with the Navy Blue and Gold!

wait, that's not how the song goes.

Neither dead nor alive, the hostage is suspended by an incalculable outcome. It is not his destiny that awaits for him, nor his own death, but anonymous chance, which can only seem to him something absolutely arbitrary. He is in a state of radical emergency, of virtual extermination.

The pretzels served this year have 15% less salt and I've noticed a slight increase in ice cubes per and less soda. All joking aside nice observations.

 

[Jacketeer]

Nice. I prefer the Gold letters white trim look.

 

[Allen Koholic]

I support these types of threads.

I too noticed the navy letters and thought it was weird. I’d prefer us adopt a distinctive end zone pattern (solid gold?) rather than lettering.

On a related note when they brought in King of Pops they apparently got rid of cotton candy. Kids are disappointed about that.

I don’t hate King of Pops but it’s definitely a novelty not worth the price.

My chief complaint is the wanding. Ridiculous.

Nobody wants that tower of cotton candy blocking their view as the vendor travels up and down the aisles trying to sell it.

Cheerleaders have also been wearing a lot of navy.

I’m going to guess that we will see a lot more Navy with adidas coming in as uniform supplier. I’m not opposed to it since we have pretty limited options otherwise.

I'm guessing you're incorrect seeing as Stansbury is putting so much effort into streamlining our gold identity

You can have a gold identity through a singular gold color and still use a lot more Navy blue to provide contrast.

Contrast isn't wearing blue. It is using it to outline letters and perhaps provide striping.
