Northwestern University/Under Armor present Wounded Warrior uniforms....and you'll hate them.

I don't mind these uniforms. Didn't notice the blood the first time viewing them yesterday but it's for a good charity so I support them.

I'd wear Obama underwear... as long as his lying lips were kissing my ass!

Are those meant to be splattered blood or just a weathered flag?

[BushMasterBoy]

Oh FFS...that is splattered blood!

The whole spattered look is something that's used pretty regularly by graphic designers, especially when trying to convey an image of being edgy or highly kinetic.

I strongly doubt the intention of it is to connote blood, though it is kind of a poor design choice because it can be interpreted that way, and could be seen as poor taste due to the context.

It would appear less misleading if they used white color spattered on the red.

The Under Armour uniforms were made just for the November 16 game to raise awareness and support for the Wounded Warrior Project, a nonprofit that empowers wounded military personnel. The distressed pattern of the uniform has come under fire. Some people say the red looks like blood splatters. However, Under Armour communications manager Danielle Cavalli Daly said through an email to ABC 7 Chicago that the "authentically distressed pattern, which depicts a flag that has flown proudly over a long period of time."

That sounds like BS cover your ass speak to me.

oh give me a break, it isn't spattered blood. its a classic design style. did you notice the blue is also spattered? so does it represent the aliens blood? people get so worked up over nothing and believe any garbage they read on the internet.

now all that being said, in my opinion the flag should never be used this way. you can do red white and blue and have a star or do something like uncle same where there are similarities but not actual flag patterns.

The manly men over at NPR are all upset about these uniforms, too.

It's worth noting that Under Armour has been creating special NCAA football uniforms to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project since 2009 and that red splotches have been one of the design features before — on last year's uniforms worn by Boston College and the University of Hawaii, for example.
