New Uniforms Unveiled Tonight @6PM on RVision

Very good. Would prefer 1950s style block numbers, but I know the demographic trends are working against me. Overall a huge improvement over the clown outfits of the last few years. We are on our way!

I love the solid colored helmets with the Block R... PLEASE keep it that way.

Uniforms look much cleaner. No need for those Gray numbers!

The new one is soooooo much better...sleeker, more manacing and reflects our actual knight mascot more closely.
This logo is often referred to as the Flaming Battleship.
 
Loved all the unis! Even better were the Comments by the Nike Staff ... Outstanding!
 
The "power ranger" look is gone and I hope it stays that way for a long time. These are perfect:

classic and simple, but stylish all in one, IMHO.

Hope they do. Looks good and sleek. Already see the all white and sure they will have an all black. We R of course the Scarlet Knights!
 
Love them! Exactly what I was hoping for.

Hard to see if there is a stripe down the side of the leg?
 
Those numerals look similar to the numerals on the University of Arizona's jerseys.

I might be wrong but they look similar.
 
I'm not sure how I feel about the new knight head logo. It looks familiar, like someone else uses something very similar.

I did a Google search, and I found a clipart knight logo that looked almost identical. So maybe it is something used by a lot of high schools.

I would hope that Rutgers did enough of a trademark search to ensure that the secondary logo could be owned by the school, and Nike didn't provide public-domain clip art.

Exactly...why did they even bother? So lame
 
its way better than the old knight logo

I'm not questioning whether it is better or not. I am questioning whether it is too similar to public domain clipart. If it is similar to public domain clipart, anyone can produce t-shirts, hats, coffee mugs, etc., with the logo and not pay royalties to Rutgers.

Big fan of unis and the secondary logo. Our old secondary was pretty crappy. This one is intimidating, sleek, and symbolizes the culture change that RU desperately needed. Great job all around. Now I need some gear with the new knighthead

Our primary R logo is much easier to produce. Do u have an issue with that?

The Block R logo is a proprietary font. If you reproduce it, Rutgers can sue you.

If you use public domain clip art, Rutgers has no recourse.

I'm not saying the new knight logo isn't better than the old one. It just looks so generic that I am wondering if Nike gave Rutgers public domain clip art. If they did, then Rutgers can't trademark the logo, and anyone can reproduce it without royalties.

That second logo looks pretty different to me.

Maybe that second one could be for the Lady Knights since the knight is obviously wearing a scarf and it's definitely not snowing (I checked with RU#s so it's official).
 
I just can't believe they are serious about putting anything other than the block R as a logo on any uniform... The old knight logo was corny as hell, but at least it was kind of unique.. And it never touched a uniform in recent years...I think that logo will never make it to a uniform after its poor reception and ultimate realization that it is copied from Microsoft word...lol

Unfortunately the skinny font sucks.. Otherwise they did a nice job. The chainmail is a nice touch although I doubt you make it out if you're more than a few inches away.

Agree. I Like the uniforms but the knight head looks like late 90s clip art that's rotated too far forward..really cheap looking
