I could be wrong, but i think Adidas has made 4 atlernates (Nebraska, Notre Dame, Michigan, Wisconsin) and there isn't a single one that looks great. Nike may fudge a few up every year (see Georgia/Ohio State last year), but for the most part, they put out good products for their pro combat unis.
i dont think its a fool's errand, as long as you understand the fan base of the school that your producing an alt. uni for. take DONU for example, if they would have done something similar to our usual game jerseys, but changed them to black or something like that, i think it would have been alot bigger hit than what they came with ( i dont hate the alt. unis we have tho). if you look at a school like texas tech, oregon, or maryland, you can go absolutely nuts and the fan bases are going to dig it.
Short answer, yes and yes.
I think that's the biggest problem. There were people on this board who had more creative and (from what was rendered) better looking ideas.
I know I was just talking about alts. in general. As I recall Adidas only had three alternates last year in Michigan, Notre Dame, and Wisconsin (I could be wrong) and all of them were pretty decent. Like I said I thought Wisconsin's showed the most creativity. As much as I don't care for ND I will admit that I really like the gold gold dome helmets they had last year too.
Ya Adidas stop making these alternate jerseys so you can save these poor kittens that I've been kicking every time you fools reveal a new alternate jersey.
They look like football pants to me.... And I know I say this a lot, but that jersey up there is freakin' sexy!!!
Am I the only one who thinks the pants look like tight pajama pants or sweat pants? Why does "Tech fit" have to = little boy pants?
Notre Dame's are some of the best I've seen (I guess I'm in the minority).... If you're going to change things up, then you might as well do the extreme.....Ugly. Looks like someone stayed up too late pounding Crown Royal and this is all they could hack up the next morning.deedsker said:
Pull a half and half like notre dame
Ever seen the Nike ones in which the model player is wearing the pro combat padded shorts underneath? Looks like the have some hemmroids poking out. Someone with better Internet insert ace Ventura .gif here.

They would look more like football pants if they had a traditional belt waistband. I know the alternate uni thing is sort of a personal taste issue, but for goodness sake don't design the pants to be "pull-ups".They look like football pants to me....
