The font on the back was the rebranded font so he was wearing the "right" visor. There is no visor with an updated I and font to my knowledge.

I did notice that but still thought when I saw it that someone needs to pay more attention to detail, and it's not Beckman in this case.
the new block I with the rounded inside corners is not going to be an easy thing to do/see with the thick 3D style of embroidery. It may be there but you just cant notice it.

Watching B1G highlights and noticing that most teams use their letter as their major branding. Also think the white helmet looks good with the strong block I on it. I think I'd prefer that on our helmet to the chief. I think the victory badge is being used the way the chief was and I think that's good.

hideous uniforms, tho'.
is this for 9/11 or are they playing the game in baltimore, or something? don't care enough to look up for myself.

This Saturday's game against West Virginia will be played at College Park. Maryland has only six home games scheduled this year.

I like the Pentagon on the helmet, considering this falls close to 9/11
Pentagon? Not sure what that is but it looks to me like some sort of star

I'm pretty sure it's Fort McHenry (baltimore area fort where the national anthem was penned)

I think you are correct!
I'm pretty sad. My initial impression was that it was some sort of abstract turtle (terapin) design.

That looks pretty accurate. I was really hoping for the ninja star, because it would make no sense.

I actually thought the star was a rough depiction of their turtle for a second lol.
Either way, I think those uniforms are real cool...especially the helmets. That may put me in the minority here.

That was my first thought as well.

That would make sense - it looks like that's where the uniform photos were shot as well....
I don't get the shoes? Is there some significance with that pattern?
Under Armour at it again with Maryland:

At first glance, it looks to me like a chain mail armor type design.

I've gotta be honest - when I heard "wearing the Star Spangled Banner", I envisioned something that was orders of magnitude worse than that.

Yeah, I mean these dont really look bad to me. hey, they could have been those polka dot adidas basketball uni's from over the summer.
I thought that also but it doesn't really fit the whole patriotic, Star Spangled Banner, US history thing.
