Appears To Be a Big Push....

I dislike the white on white uniforms, the orange shirt/white pants home uniforms are ok.

Would like to see orange pants/white shirt for away uniforms, and of course the fat stripe on the helmet.

Would like to see the black stripes and outlines on the shirts and pants, it is an alternate color.

There has been talk about the stripe as well, but I think that is less likely, as it is harder to apply to the helmets, and that is done before every game.

I'm pretty sure helmets are painted a solid color and they can paint a wide orange stripe on them. Maybe its currently a pinstripe that rubs off, but I think they could paint on a wide orange stripe.

I always thought that the "T" and the stripe were "stickers"

Sticker/pinstripe same thing.

If you can paint a helmet any color you want why couldnt you paint a wide stripe down the middle?

The stipe and the T's, as well as NCAA logos, American Flags, ETC are stickers. They are changed before every game. The wide stripes are harder for the Equipment managers to apply.

If they go back to the two narrow stripes on the pants, I don't see them going with a THICK stripe on the helmet.

But they had a thick stripe on the helmets with the double stripe on the pants.

I guess you are right. I just was thinking it didn't "match", but now that I think about it, I guess that they did it before.

I know it's all mum right now. Even the Captains thing is mum.

No big surprise, Phil should take Aaron Sears and Justin Harrell to SEC Media Days though.

i still dont understand why some whining equipment manager has an effect on our football tradition

No equiptment manager whined.

It's just a fact that it takes longer, and takes more money to purchase wider stripes and have whomever is applying them take the extra time to apply them correctly, and then when they mess up, wasting an entire strip.

It's just one of the many reasons that they went away from the wider stripe.

You've got to be kidding. :blink:

Putting a sticker down the middle of a helmet is too much overhead???

Wouldn't the "T" stickers on the side of the helmets be more difficult?

The "T" should be the most difficult sticker to line up and apply. You'd also figure that a skinny stripe would have to be more precisely placed than a wider fat stripe.

Just man up and bring the fat stripe back already...

Two stripes down the pant leg would be nice also.

Lastly, the 2002 uniforms were used for only one season for a reason...they stunk!

Look, All I'm saying is I know a guy that used to scrub the helmets. He said that the guy over the program was telling him how much harder the FAT stripes were to apply, and that it was one of the factors in the change.

I haven't tried it myself, and I haven't been told recently by anyone that matters, that its the only thing holding them back from returning to it.

All I can do is tell you what I have heard, and that's what I was told.

Maybe the "guy over the program" should change his panties.

Just kidding..

I'm almost 100% sure that the "guy over the program" has NO say in what the players will be wearing.

Just a thought

gah that makes me mad! the fat stripe set us apart from different teams and they looked FLIPPIN AWESOME! somebody needs to make a website (kinda like fire randy sanders) that is a petition to bring back the thick stripe. maybe enough fans could "sign" it to make the team at least think about bringing it back.

Gotta have it. White jerseys are required to have black outlines around the orange numbers.

For the away tops...orange on the band of the sleeve and on the band of the collar. That adds enough orange yet it's still legal.

I loved the look of the throwbacks from last year. It looked to me over the last couple of years that the shade of orange changed on the unis. As much as I like orange, the orange on orange should only be used in those rare occasions that you want to make a statement, in very rare occasions, and not on televised game.

Once again, I think we should wait until the program has distanced itself from a certain reputation. The all orange resembles uniforms of a certain state institution a little too much...

this is something i could get behind....but make it the dual stripes on the pants....

nothing that even resembles the 02 uni's...those sucked.

no more all oragne....terrible.

i don't mind the all white road uni's we have now, but would like to see the dual orange strip pants like we used to have...and i like the orange cuff on the sleeves and collar.

somebody ought to make up a petition and send it to MH....and this petition should also include the fat strip returning, and to never again go to white shoes.

God i can't wait for football season.

Around here, we can tell the difference between the two hues Milo. :lol:
And it's the road construction barrels that folks think the orange and white came from.....
