Aaron Hernandez Has Been Arrested Finally & Released By The Pats

Charles Sollars Concepts @charlessollars

Aaron Hernandez has finally been arrested. He was also released by the Patriots hours after his arrest. I am glad to see the Pats cut bait with Hernandez but honestly should he even be in the league. The answer is no. He is a thug. Everyone should be given a chance to change but this idiot used up all of those chances in college, but he could play ball so people let it slide. The NFL needs to start making examples out of college players before they become NFL players. If you fuck up in college you should be banned from the NFL Draft or at a minimum have sanctions placed on you that will make teams stay away from you. The NFL has no minor leagues, they have no support system for players. Yes, they have programs but how many guys are really putting in the time? The league suspends you can what happens then? Nothing happens. The NFL thinks players are expendable and that they can flash a light here and there to distract us all from the shit it’s players are doing monday-saturady. If kids knew going into college that their stupidity can make the millions in the NFL go away before they are even there they might actually go to school and act right. Blood is on Aaron Hernandez hands, the Patriots hands, the NFL’s hands, and the NCAA hands. The time has come to lock the door on the shithead athlete no matter how good he might be on the field. I doubt there is a league out there that has the balls to do this anytime soon.

Nebraska Cornhuskers Helmet Concepts

Charles Sollars Concepts @charlessollars

The corn dome is fun. Yes, that is a pad of butter by the N. If this helmet were ever to make the field I would want the team to hand out butter pad reward stickers to the players as the game happens because you have to butter the corn.Charles Sollars Concepts @charlessollars

This is the helmet I want to see happen. This lid keep the schools colors on the helmet but replaces the small traditional N with a double outline massive N.

This helmet is the black corn helmet it brings the mean look of the Blackshirts together with the fun of the corn helmet. Below are just some variations of the same idea.Charles Sollars Concepts @charlessollars

This set of helmets showcase the Blackshirts. Their logo is a skull in a helmet so why not put a skull on the helmet. They look mean and you know the players would go ape shit.

It might be hard to see but on the helmet above the skull is still there but the idea would be to have a matte helmet with a reflective skull or flip it the other way. This still would allow the Blackshirts and their logo the skull to be on the helmet but it wouldn’t be as obvious as some of the other Blackshirts designs

My Version Of This New Nebraska Helmet

I am not saying that this is the design I would have gone with if I were in charge of the new Adidas Nebraska Helmet but this is what I came up with in oh an hour. So, maybe Adidas should spend that long on designing the new uniforms. Note to Adidas we change things to make them better.

My Take On The New Nebraska Uniforms By Adidas

OsRMJM5

Ok, where should we start? Oh, yeah with the stupid stretch marks Adidas has decided they are a good look. They showed up on the UCLA uniform and now on the Nebraska. It looks stupid Adidas the pattern has nothing to do with either team. It might be part of some new tech fabric blah blah blah I don’t care hide that shit so I don’t have to look at it. It looks like a Bill Cosby sweater vest right now and the shoulders appear to have a houndstooth pattern wtf Adidas.

The two tone facemask looks to be the new trend in college football. Oregon did on the spring game uniform and it looks the leaked game helmet will be the same. So, it only figures Adidas would follow in Nike’s footsteps. I am just shocked that Adidas was on trend with Nike during the same football season.

I don’t have a problem with the two color facemasks. I do however have an issue with why the helmet stripe and the middle color of the facemask are not the same color. If the helmet stripe is going to be black the center of the helmet should be black or if Adidas wanted the center to be red the stripe should be red.

The numbers are well pointless. Why change the font? Why change to a font that is split? I hate that the numbers are not outlined. A little red or white outline on the old font on the black uniform would really help to make this look like a Nebraska Uniform.

There are no shoulder stripes. Why does Nebraska not have shoulder stripes? The uni last year had the decency to keep the shoulder stripes. I think a two tone stipe would look best to go along with the two toned numbers.

The pants from what I can see don’t seem to be anything special. I can’t see if they are just a white and black version of the normal pants.

Overall Rating on a scale from 1-10 I will give the uniform a 6.5

I don’t hate the uniform but I do hate parts of it. I think like most Adidas products the company needs to spend more time on overall design based on the school. I think their current design process doesn’t take the school or its identity into account nearly enough.

I will be mocking up a version of this uniform to my specs today.
