Yikes. You know what this reminds me of? That terrible marketing attempt WITH (Wolfpack in the House), did ANYONE like that shit? I thought it was embarrassing

8/27/2009 4:20:30 PM

^friend of mine's dad LOVED the WITH compaign. even incorporated it in his custom license plate...

i was pretty indifferent towards it. "we all go to nc state" not so much

8/27/2009 4:22:17 PM

If you've ever been to a basketball game then you cant help but be completely embarassed by the WITH bullshit.

I got into the wrong line of work if this is the kind of shit that generates a paycheck

8/27/2009 4:23:57 PM

lol at the first draft and nevada flag

8/27/2009 4:24:20 PM

hahah they should've just had a WITH logo on there... would have been just as homosexual

8/27/2009 4:26:54 PM

Clearly this kind of failure could have been overseen by none other than Lee Fowler.

WITH is the kind of thing someone Fowler's age would say in order to sound "hip".

8/27/2009 4:38:51 PM

Does an nc state version of that nevada flag exist? I would like to own one of those for the tailgate.

8/27/2009 4:50:23 PM

There is no way that MSU owns the word "STATE". I remember that the bookstore used to sell red t-shirts with white STATE lettering. Those shirts were awesome.

Take the NC off of it and it will be fine. It won't be what everyone truly wants, which is the look that the old teams had, but it would at least be somewhat closer.

8/27/2009 4:59:35 PM

Agreed we need to take the NC off, but we also need to slide STATE up. Why we insist on putting our logo on the gut instead of the chest is beyond me.

8/27/2009 5:07:30 PM

LOL. Yeah, the US Patent and Trademark Office would laugh that application out of the building.


And even if they did somehow manage to get the trademark, they would never bother to bring a suit over it. Its too genericized.

They lied to you.

8/27/2009 5:41:00 PM

i know they lied, that's why it was an example of how ridiculous it is that they would claim to own a word.

8/27/2009 5:48:40 PM

threepeat, threepeete

I'm glad I got my "We All Bleed Red" shirt before you got that letter.

8/27/2009 7:17:14 PM

the michigan state jersey (i'm just assuming its them since i can't think of any other team whose green and is a 'state' school) is pretty cool but i could do without the racing stripes

8/28/2009 6:45:50 AM

^^^^In the future, a cease and desist letter just means "hey, throw me in the trash".

8/28/2009 8:30:39 AM

The N&O calls us out the fugliness: http://www.newsobserver.com/sports/college/ncsu/story/1665231.html

Wouldn't it make sense to have some sort of collaborative effort from the students, or if anything, ask us maybe what we would like to see? I was fine with last years uniforms, but to make a change like this, I feel its something we should at least get to express our opinion on before its finalized...

8/28/2009 9:50:37 AM

i just need to print off a million of these and be like "LOOK HOW GOOD THESE LOOKED, YOU FUCKING RETARDS". who's helping?

8/28/2009 9:52:07 AM

Yeah, I really, really like those.

New stuff looks like it's for the women's team

Not that there's anything wrong with that

8/28/2009 9:54:30 AM

Yea those jerseys were awesome, NC STATE like it should be, and the block S, win.

holy shit, that is dead on. god fucking dammit.

8/28/2009 9:57:23 AM

I don't understand why the new designs (and the old ones, although they were fine IMO) have the team name somewhere around the belly button instead of on the chest. Is this a nipple chaffage issue?

8/28/2009 10:00:07 AM

^^^^^Those jerseys look great, but I'd still like to see NC STATE moved up a little higher on the chest. Still, those look 1000x better than the new ones.

8/28/2009 10:00:48 AM

to remind everyone how they look and cause some more gut-wrenching lol




maybe when Javi trips over his jersey number on a fast break, they will reconsider

please at least tell me they still have the old jerseys in a box somewhere for quick access

8/28/2009 10:07:43 AM

fucking horrible

8/28/2009 10:08:26 AM

the funny thing is Javi has this look on his face like "yea...im hot shit in these new threads"

8/28/2009 10:09:25 AM

Both of their expressions seem to say, "Hrmmm... ah, yep."

PUMPED AS SHIT

8/28/2009 10:09:34 AM

I can almost tell what Johnny Thomas is thinking... "I rehabbed the hell out of my knee for this shit? Damn..."

8/28/2009 10:09:43 AM

I think we should just go through with the Old Spice Unis

To avoid confusion as to who the real champs are.

SUCK IT VILLANOVA

8/28/2009 10:10:56 AM

Gonzales has to pull his shirt out to get his number to show fully.

8/28/2009 10:12:40 AM

what's with the old block S on the court

CAN'T HANDLE THE WHITE BETWEEN N, C AND BIG OLE S

8/28/2009 10:12:41 AM

It's honestly like they made these uniforms look like shit on purpose.

8/28/2009 10:15:43 AM

i don't know how you could do this accidentally, that's for sure.

this bullshit was deliberate.

8/28/2009 10:16:18 AM

8/28/2009 10:17:56 AM

aha

jeez

8/28/2009 10:18:55 AM

aha, i just read the N&O article
i think i could be the one they reference about "god awful ugly"

Quote :

"NCSU's fashion faux pas? BY KEN TYSIAC - STAFF WRITER N.C. State discovered Thursday that social media can turn ugly. "God awful ugly" also is how one fan described the Wolfpack's new men's basketball jerseys on the team's official Twitter site: twitter.com/packmensbball. "Epic Fail," "unsightly" and "horrendous" were other terms used on the Twitter page to describe the photograph of the jersey provided by N.C. State. The principal objection seems to be that the "NC" on the jersey is too small or shouldn't be on the uniform at all. These complaints might be quickly forgotten if the Wolfpack has a successful season. But winning ugly might be the best scenario N.C. State can hope for, judging by the reaction of some of its fans."

^^^ it doesn't matter what he's wearing, that's one sexy man right there.

tracy "best player for state by a longshot" smith.

8/28/2009 10:20:43 AM

not only is the lettering awful, the freaking v-neck effect looks pathetic too.

comment from a friend of mine (and alum of a rival school): "what would make it look awesome is if they embroidered the 'NC' with real wolf fur..." true indeed, true indeed.

8/28/2009 10:25:56 AM

it's just amazing that a concept that is so simple can be fucked up on such a grand scale.

8/28/2009 10:29:29 AM

Even our jerseys are gonna have to wait until "next year"

8/28/2009 10:56:43 AM

Damn, thats just ridiculous...It's just looks like someone half-assed a uni and got no critique on it. What a waist of an opportunity.
