Those VT uniforms look cheap. Like, bought the $25 screen print NFL jersey cheap. Especially the orange one.

Those were fly AF. I still have that exact Ryan jersey from HS.

Thank goodness polyester stretches.

The way that guy threw the baseball he made even those unis look great. Seeing it up close from the dugout was awesome-- glad I was a pitcher and thank goodness for the DH.

Time to revive one of my favorite threads on IE.

I just saw a “memory” on Facebook that ND released a teaser for the 2016 shamrock series jerseys exactly 2 years ago today. I’ve been wondering when we will see something for this year’s jerseys and getting pretty pumped for what is, if nothing else, always a fun topic of discussion and source of debate.

So it got me thinking... what will the jerseys look like? Would love to hear any guesses, speculation, or rumors out there!

My out of left field (pun intended) guess is that in tribute to Yankee Stadium, we come out in pinstripes. I think if it is done right it could look pretty awesome and classy.

Dear new equipment manager,

SHOW US THE JERSEYS!

I was literally just thinking about this thread, and how nice it has been not seeing it.

Haha sorry! I love uniforms and uniform design (even the terrible looking ones). Create-a-team is easily my favorite feature of any sports video game, and in another life I’m sure I design sports uniforms for a living. If only I knew how to use photoshop...

Try Colorforms.

Not sure if you are having a go or if I’m missing something, but this is pretty much all google turned up...

That's them. Pieces of vinyl that you stick on a smooth surface. You can make your own by cutting pieces of vinyl(craft store) to fit your need. Get creative and use magic markers for design. If you have a penchant for uniform design look outside the box.

Or spend $700 for Photoshop.

Oh now I see where your heads at. I sincerely appreciate the recommendation, but I don’t think physical design is what I’m looking for. I prefer graphic design for the low cost (hence, why I’ve never learned photoshop) and infinite free corrections/attempts. I actually really enjoy something as simple as the uniform design in the Madden games, but obviously the limited creativity is only so satisfying. It’s ok though, I’m not trying to get into a career in uniform design - like I said, that’s for some other future life of mine.

Anyway, now that I’ve successfully bumped and derailed this thread all in the same day I’ll just go back to lurking until I see some news on the new shamrock series unis... hopelly soon!

Time to try for a gold jersey yet? Although it's probably the easiest to screw up, it would be pretty cool if they pulled it off.

Love that look, would be awesome if they recreated something similar. Would have to do a complete modification of the uniform, though, since it wouldn't match current helmet/pants combo. More likely scenario would probably be closer to the Dijon mustard colored unis the men's bball team wears. I think under armour did something similar with the Kelly green Fenway jerseys from a few years back. Pretty much matched the men's bball alternate uniforms.

Try out a program called GIMP if you're interested in photoshop. It's got all the essentials of PS and it's completely free. Good to use to see if you think you'd like photoshop before you throw $50 at it, or however much they want to charge for it now.


These are hideous.

If they’re gonna try for a gold jersey, they need to reverse the scheme and go with white/blue/green helmet and matching pants.

All-gold is terrible.

I have it from a very good source we'll be mimicking a one off that the Yankees broke out in nineteen-ninety four: Cotton uniforms
