Bunch of geezers on here. I like traditional looks, but have liked the pro combat stuff overall.

I don't mind alternate uniforms every now and then if they look cool.

However, the pro combat seems to be more about attracting attention than looking good.

It seems like most people can't accept the fact that while they don't like them, these are for recruits and players, most of whom do like them. No, Oregon's uni combos aren't going to be the deciding factor for anybody to sign there, but anybody who thinks it hasn't been a major factor in them gaining a spot on the national stage and signing some big names is lying to themselves.

I'd say it has more to do with the unreal locker room and the 25,000 checks Chip Kelly is writing.

The uniforms are part and parcel of it. Chip Kelly can guarantee any recruit the absolute best equipment and facilities in the country.

Not really. He feed the idiocy that buys the idea that Nike is better and his facilities might be at par with other top tier programs.

Was Oregon doing weird crap with their uniforms in 2001?

I honestly don't remember too well, but I don't think they did.

I don't think things would be much different without the uniforms.

I'm going to disagree. The fauxbacks were almost a million times better than Maryland's, and at least 900,000 times better than any of Nike's pro combats, with the exception of (maybe) the Army and Navy unis.

those were throwbacks and I liked them. If you're going to have an alternate at least have it mean something (like ND and Mich did) and not be "just because"

Those Michigan uni's were ****ing awesome. Pro Crombats are just usually silly and way over the top.

The michigan uniforms looked much better than I expected from the pics.

Well, this sure explains some of the styles I see walking around the local Walmart!! Those things were just plain u-g-l-y!!

Im normally a big fan of the ProCombats, but I am a bit underwhelmed by this years batch. I would like to see them get farther away from the teams original jersey. Not as far as Maryland went with under armour, but something that is unique. (in that way, I think michigans throwbacks were spot on)

As a Michigan State guy, I kind of like what they did for MSU, but I am not jumping up and down about it, if that makes any sense.

I like the Army shoes and socks, made to resemble the combat boots. Pretty cool. I liked their camo pants better (last year?)

Recognized because they have a tradition of winning. Had nothing to do with what they wore. Tradition isn't having a bland uniform using up to date technology. A lot of it is sponsor driven & that wasn't around when they had leather helmets & before the forward pass. Money talks.

If you take the average UT fans feelings toward bama, and florida. . . add them up, multiply by 1000x. . . that is what I feel about the university of michigan. Hate is a strong word, and it is not strong enough for what I feel.

HOWEVER, when you see that winged helmet you think of two things
1) michigan
2) winning
d) cheating (that might just be my thought)

michigan is michigan. They have a long tradition of winning. But they are instantly recognizable because everybody knows who those helmets belong to. (well, michigan and delaware st. or something like that)

and yet another example of a gator fan having no clue about football outside their own little world. Seriously, do yourself a favor and read up on UT/bama

I might have been nicer without the insulting (but predictable gatorese) Walmart remark

well, first, I live in Cookeville TN, my daughter is a freshman at UT, and I am in the Cookeville walmart at least twice a week. That is not a personal slam against anyone here. Just a little(attempt at) humor.

As a Florida Gator, and a Michigan State Spartan, I know a ton about football. As a TN resident, I know quite a bit about the UT/Bama rivalry.

Im sorry that you didnt get the humor that was intended. I will work on that.

:good!:


also: the comment about my hatred toward michigan might be a little overstated, but I didnt see it as a slam toward anyone, or any team other than stating my hatred for the university of michigan. I think you looked at my username and automatically decided I was slamming UT. That is not the case.

Edit #2: I should add that not only is my daughter a student at UT (no pics) but she is an athlete at UT. Which means somewhere, sometime along the way, I am going to have to say GO Vo.....GO VVVVVvvvv....GO VO....crap, I just cant get that out yet.
