Was thinking this too, hopefully it’s just the angle. They shouldn’t mess with the helmets AT ALLIs it just me or is the U on the helmet bigger?

I think they look fine and I’ll probably get *****ed at here but I don’t like how the stripe is so high on the shoulder that is just cuts off into the front of the jersey, looks odd to me personally.If you are such a hardcore Nike fan you can't admit that objectively these are the best uniforms we have had since at least the 04 redesign took place, you are 1000% just a straight up hater.
maybe someone has the time to do a side by side comparison to previous yrs.
Jerseys look good. But the thing is - this literally should have been the version they rolled out in 2017 when we made the switch to this design lol.
Michigan is crazy not to wear those maize pants every week.I think they look fine and I’ll probably get *****ed at here but I don’t like how the stripe is so high on the shoulder that is just cuts off into the front of the jersey, looks odd to me personally. View attachment 294479
I think I would prefer if the stripe was an actual whole piece like on the Michigan uniform. View attachment 294480
I think that's a valid criticism. I don't dislike the stripe as-is, but I think locating it lower towards the cuff would have been different from anything we'd have ever had in the past. I wouldn't have minded seeing that.I think they look fine and I’ll probably get *****ed at here but I don’t like how the stripe is so high on the shoulder that is just cuts off into the front of the jersey, looks odd to me personally.

It’s going to happen and when it does it will be too late for fsu and gator fans to realize it. They been ignoring what we been doing but it’s going to shock tf out of them. No more “it’s Miami they are always hyped and lose” talk anymore. The media is who did that to us always hyping us for nothing. Now it’s real and they going to find out real soon and when we in cruise control those fans will start circling us as a loss regularly.Facts! I'm with you bro. We're a marketing giant waiting to explode! We have the ingredients right now. A high profile QB, Recruiting Momentum, and a Head Coach with a story to sell as the "former" player who got us back on track.
The entire Nike vs Adidas debate is a scathing indictment of our fanbase and how many people are illiterate when it comes to business and negotiations. I've never heard of an entity taking a "Prove it" deal, when superior deals were on the table, and that's what a lot of our fans expected this University to do, just because of their misplaced loyalty to a shoe company.
This is a simple dollars and cents argument, and Adidas won that battle. If Nike truly wanted to keep Miami, they could have matched the deal, full stop. Instead, they chose to give Miami a deal that was held together with wishes and dreams, while Miami is stuck competing against schools with significantly more revenue at their disposal. Maybe a school like Alabama can afford to take a mediocre deal, because money isn't an issue for them, but at the time, Miami had to evaluate every single revenue stream, because we were fighting to catch up.
I'm not even going to get into how the University was treated at the end of the Nike deal. Getting equipment and gear was a nightmare, anyone that had any access to the athletic department could see that Nike treated us terribly. Customer service was nonexistent and honestly, it was beyond obvious that we were no longer a priority. No organization worth a **** would stand for that long term, especially when the deal that was offered was obviously a "We couldn't care less about you" kind of deal.
If Nike comes correct next window, then let's roll. Until then, we are with Adidas and as long as they are treating the University well, I'm fine with it. I'm loyal to the UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI, not a shoe company.
You just showed in the Michigan picture why Adidas wanted that stripe up a bit higher. Look at the O-Lineman in the pic, you can't even tell that striping is there because of the jersey cut. Same with practically everyone else that has limited sleeves. Adidas relies on that striping as a stealth secondary logo, because people associate the three stripes with Adidas. If no one can see it, or it's extremely inconsistent, it doesn't help them. That's why a lot of schools are moving away from sleeve striping, it's rare anyone actually has traditional sleeves.I think they look fine and I’ll probably get *****ed at here but I don’t like how the stripe is so high on the shoulder that is just cuts off into the front of the jersey, looks odd to me personally.

I noticed that, as well.Is it just me or is the U on the helmet bigger?
@Rellyrell wants a Messi Pink Miami Futbol alt. combo...Yep. Our colors have been wrong for a long time now. Looks like Walmart knock-offs but I guess that's expected from a company that couldn't figure out how to sew a U on the collar without it getting stretched out, for years.
16-0 with some of those uniforms during the Golden years would still be ugly as sin.Win in them, they look great. Lose in them, they suck. Simple as that.
I prefer our version. The stripes are actually visible.I think they look fine and I’ll probably get *****ed at here but I don’t like how the stripe is so high on the shoulder that is just cuts off into the front of the jersey, looks odd to me personally. View attachment 294479

New material technology.
Not supposed to come off the shoulder pad as easy/frequent as the old one and the stomach area stays down and covers better.
UM is the only program they have rolled these out for. Might be the only team getting them in 2024.
I've been following the fanatics vs nike mlb uniform fiasco all season and uni-watch provided a pretty comprehensive breakdown on where blame lies for each party. They are imo, one of the industry standards of uniform knowledge and have lots of connections into the uniform world. All that to say, a trustworthy source of information.
Who's to blame?
