what's with all the uniform changes?

[np_husker]

I'm watching ESPN Gameday right now. They're at TCU.

 

They showed the new uniform TCU will be wearing today. A little bit later they showed the new uniform VA Tech will be wearing today. Neither one looks like a college football uniform, looks like something from arena football or some crazy thing.

 

Doesn't anyone believe in tradition anymore? Why the need for alternate unis?

Why heck those are the new "urban chic" or "hip hop" threads!

10 Teams wearing "futuristic" uniforms, not all this week though. Most these programs I can see, but Ohio St is going to a white helmet, as is Oklahoma. Haven't seen Texas's yet, but I can't see why you'd mess with such great tradition. FSU will have a black helmet for those that are into that kind of thing.

guess I don't see the difference in Texas' uni in that pic?

Nike lookin' to sell more gear.

I think there's stitching on the shoulders, definitely not the big change of some schools. I actually like OU's, from that far away pic at least.

FSU's Helmet

 

 

TCU's Helmet, supposed to resemble a Horned Frog's skin

 

And TCU's pants...dear lord

[Captain Hook]

the Mizzou one looks like he came straight out of mortal kombat. Cyrax maybe?

[shyndy]

just people trying to get a recruiting edge, i suppose

These are the Nike "Pro Combat" uniforms. They're only a one time deal and I think they look pretty cool.

[NoKoolAidForME]

They will wear them next year for some games. I really like the glove you see the School logo when they put there hands together.

Ohio State's just fugly

 

 

Here's Texas's, not too bad, more of a throwback

[HuskerNMO]

And they have matching gloves...these are actually kind of cool IMO. Maybe if our receivers had gloves this cool they could catch the ball

 

VT

 

Florida

 

Miami

These uniforms are supposed to be the lightest ones ever created. Not sure how much taking 50 ounces (if that) out of a uniform will improve your team speed.....I do think a few look pretty good.

The gloves are sweet, especially Miami and Florida State's
