New uniforms for North Carolina A&T
Every so often, I’d throw them a bone and put them in the Top Five list.
That’s probably not happening this year. Typical Nike minimalist effort.
As an Aggie alum, I’m just happy they’re going back to a minimalist, classic look. They’ve played around with gradients, grays, weird helmet colors, etc. in recent years.
The classic Aggie look is blue and gold, but the stormtrooper look is a new one.
The stormtrooper look was the deal breaker.
Minimalism sometimes works with different colors. With just one, it’s mono-tonous.
If minimalist means clean cut traditional football uniform the let it be!!!!
The kerning and ampersand could have been better on the new NC A&T uniforms.
The shade of that batting helmet almost looks red. Maybe it’s a Houston Cougars batting helmet that was used as a fill-in.
The Davidson upgrade is a true upgrade. Great monogram, good font, terrific Wildcat logo.
