Uniform/Helmet/Shoe design thread (merged)

Not to get off topic but as much as I despise our fellow SEC schools, the story of why LSU wears white at home is pretty cool.
 
Oregon of the SEC is just fine with me. Those who think they know what they're saying when they talk about 'tradition' simply don't know our history.
 
I would LOVE to see Butch and Saban work out a deal to make our games Orange vs. Crimson again.

I think those colors really would make the rivalry even better. That's the only game I'd want to do it for though.

I like the current unis and think they are a lot classier than some of the "new look" crap out there, but, if "Oregon of the SEC" means that UT is at the top of the conference and in the hunt for the NC most years then they can play buck nekked, whatever.

first to:

scout
coach in box
sideline phones
tear away jerseys
play (almost) annual games out west

some will come along and add to this…

anything for a competitive edge… for those of you who think uniforms don't figure into recruiting, you're simply out of touch… it's obviously not the only factor, but it is a factor and we should win in every conceivable way
 
I believe per NCAA you can't wear white at home.

Home team gets choice of what to wear. Heard it yesterday on ESPN. LSU wears them home games against good teams and purple against lesser teams. Supposedly they believe the purples are jinxed but will wear them against smaller schools. But home teams get first choice according to NCAA rules..Never knew that until yesterday.
 
The rules are not hard to look up.

1. Jersey Color—Home Team
a. The home team must wear colored jerseys. White jerseys are allowed for the home team only if the two teams have agreed in writing before the season.
b. The home team jersey must be of such a color that it clearly and unquestionably is in distinct contrast with the white jersey worn by the visiting team. Jerseys that are gray or light yellow, for example, are very likely not to comply with this rule.

2. Jersey Color—Visiting Team
a. The visiting team must wear white jerseys.
Exceptions:
(1) The visiting team has agreed in writing before the season that the home team may where white jerseys (I-a above). In this case, the visitor must wear its colored jerseys.
(2) The teams have agreed in writing before the season that both teams will wear colored jerseys. In this case, the conference of the home team must certify that the visiting team’s jersey is of a contrasting color. If at the start of each half the visiting team is wearing a colored jersey without having met these conditions, there will be a 15-yard penalty on each opening kickoff for unsportsmanlike conduct.

These are old rules..Supposedly the rules recently changed and home teams get first choice..LSU does and doesn't get a penalty because of the recent change. Edit..It's an SEC rule that home teams get the choice..That's why LSU wears purple against OOC teams cause the NCAA rule is still in play if its an OOC team visiting an SEC team.

Interested to see what Nike can bring to the table. I would like to see a lighter shade of grey like Oregon. Ready for a couple of new helmets. I really like what Nike does with Oregon and would like for us to become the Oregon of the SEC!

What's the matter, dude? Mom and Dad didn't believe in hugs?

Yes, I think I am remembering a mid-60s game with Vols in Orange and Bama in red ... looked something like a Rook card game.
