Lighten up. While I definitely agree that those 80's numbers were pretty terrible, I would like to see what Nike could come up with. Personally, I thought Florida's uniforms looked good, aside from those awkward, out-of-place looking designs on the front of the shoulders. It looked like someone was playing around with some ideas on the computer-design program and forgot to remove them before the jerseys were actually made. The helmets definitely looked better than what they normally wear.

We can't give Adidas credit for the black unis. Those were the idea of some of the seniors.

UF's uniforms were actually a great success... only because they currently have the most classless/traditionless uniforms in all of college football. 1980's neon orange and cheesy cartoon gators truly symbolize the lack of tradition at Florida.

I WILL NOT LIGHTEN UP!!!! j/k.

Nike could do well w/ UT's uniform's/gear, but only if we gave them the guidelines present at UTA, Bama, USC. We're a program with tradition, and I don't want duckwings integrated into our shoulder-pads.

nike continues to butcher classic uniforms like a slaughterhouse. i hope ut stays far far away from them in the forseeable future.

Does anyone know if these are just for one game or are they permanent? They are all hideous.

Lol, apparently I'm in the vast minority. Maybe I should have my contact perscription strengthened.

Sorry man... you only recently joined volnation, but that comment is enough to get you blocked on my list. Black jerseys were legit. 1980's air-brushed numbers= god-awful.

Because i'm so concerned with not getting on your blocked list??? I could care less, i thought they were awesome. I'm 19 and i guarantee you other 18-19 year old recruits thought they were badass as well. It's 2009 not 1969. It's time for an upgrade, atleast add a stripe or two or something.

Something like these, but build more onto them. These were some of my favorite UT jersey's ever, plus we destroyed UNLV with them.. and we thought Brent Schaeffer was the next Mike Vick.. :crazy:

You do realize those were throwbacks? They were the best looking away uniforms ever but they weren't approved by the NCAA. Supposedly there was too much orange involved.

I can appreciate you being 19 but there is a tradition factor to be taken into consideration. The Halloween black jerseys this year were highly controversial but came over ok as a one time only thing. I would hate to see Phil Knight who has bought the University of Oregon get his way and make all college football uniforms become whatever clown costume somebody could come up with.

Florida's jersey looked like garbage and so did Mizzou's helmet. I liked the Kansas Jayhawks uniform today.

I couldn't tell if LSU had new helmets or the color on my tv was off... No, really! I tried to adjust the settings... haha

But anyways, I really liked FSU's all-maroon Unis... they look fierce!

It's NEVER time for a jersey upgrade. Remember that.

I think I'd like to see some black stripes on the pants if they are serious about getting more black on the uniforms.

These and FSU's unis were the only ones I liked.

Especially the helmets.

All this talk about changing uniforms is hilarious, it is nothing more then a gimmick. Penn State unis have looked the same to for over 40 yrs, has not hurt them in winning, USC has looked the same for years. There is something to be said for tradition, not to mention ease on the wallet. I would hate to have to go out and buy the new jersey each year because they change yearly, after 10 yrs has passed people would be like "when did we ever wear those".

I went out yesterday and purchased the orange with white numerals and the white with orange numerals #14 Adidas jerseys.

I am not one for big on uniform changes but I though Mizzou's uniform was AWESOME!!!! The flat black look looks like a stealth bomber resemblance almost. I hate Florida State's new look. I see Florida State as a team that should not venture to far out of their traditional look (kinda like Tenn, Penn st., etc).

I didn't mind Ohio St.'s last week against Michigan, and Va Tech's weren't too over the top either. Fla were awful, besides the helmet. Missouri looked ridiculous, to the point where I would have to question my support of the university were I an alum of that school.

What ever happened to "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"?

This is one thing Alabama, Penn St., Texas, USC, ND get right.

Also, I loved our white pants tonight. 0-3 on the road with orange pants, undefeated on the road with white pants.... just sayin.

Good call.... Ohio State found a way to take traditional uniforms, and make them even more traditional. Those were by far my favorite of the new Nike uniforms.

I think I read somewhere the new uniforms are 37% lighter and don't absorb sweat, so they would be even lighter as the game goes on.

(If I missed your post appologies)
Some1 do some research. The uniforms FLA,LSU,MIZZ,VATECH,OK,MIAMI,OSU, CLEMSON,TCU,FSU,and one other I can't think of off my head are the new Nike Pro Combat design. They weigh a lot less soaking wet than the old unis weighed dry. They are tighter.lighter,and better for performance. All nike teams will wear them next year, yes even Bama (although they will look 99.9 percent just like their currents) GOoGLE it

The Gators are one of several teams that will sport Nike's new Pro Combat uniforms today. The uniforms are 37 percent lighter than conventional ones and don't absorb sweat that would make them even heavier
