As you all should know by now if you follow this lovely website of ours on a regular basis, adidas has made some pretty major acquisitions over the past two months; First they outbid everyone for the rights to outfit Arizona State and then they managed to wrestle Miami from Nike’s grasp. Of course, you’d be wont to show off those captures whenever possible, and adidas did just that at a college football coaching convention this past weekend when they showed off prototype designs for both Miami and Arizona State.
First, let’s focus on Arizona State, and the pertinent news here being that the copper helmet from this particular look appears to be staying on board, in addition to the Maroon version of the trident helmet as well. Other than that, that’s all we really know, as the number font and general design of the uniform is extremely generic and the finished uniforms will probably look nothing like this once we get a look at them in the Summer.
Then we have Miami. This prototype was just as generic as ASU’s, if not more since the only logo on the uniform (aside from the helmet) is a simple black adidas logo above the numbers and on the accessories. What is interesting here is that they didn’t use a generic number font like they did for Arizona State’s prototype. The font appears to be similar to what Miami wore in their Nike days, but is still a bit different.
Of course, this won’t be the last adidas-related reveal that we’ll see for both of these schools, as we should definitely expect a uniform reveal for both schools sometime in the summer. But for now, we have these prototypes to gawk at. What do you guys think? Fan of the “new” font for Miami? Glad to see that Arizona State’s keeping the pitchfork?
