Yeah, DP said something about that earlier. Iirc, he said it would be similar to our current smokey gray along with a much darker colored gray that Nike calls Anthracite.

All the companies put out garbage every once in a while. And Adidas never made any abortions for UT like they did with Kansas, so I don't care how bad they screwed those uniforms up.

My issue with Nike is more with the level of control and input the university has over the final product. From hearing DP talk about it in the past, Adidas and UT were on a very good working relationship where they treated us like a very picky client that they were trying to impress/win approval. The impression that I have gotten with Nike is that they don't hold their client's preferences as a priority. Nike schools will wear what Nike wants them to wear. This year it might be a slightly goofy looking checkerboard on the shoulder. Next year they might decide it is time to freshen up our logo with some cool ghost flames and diamond checker plate. Just not really excited about the prospect of having our traditional uniforms in the hands of mad men who aren't interested in our school's opinion.


What do you call this?

Gray with checkerboard sleeves? Not the worst thing ever. Less bad than a lot of stuff you see some teams wear.

It's horrible. I don't care if it's "less bad" than other horrible uniforms. Horrible is horrible. :yuck:

I think their lighter shades of gray are called wolf grey and cool grey. They also have a medium grey heather, but it's mainly for sweatshirts, t-shirts, etc. and has black accents.
 
I think what sam is getting at here is everything we've read is saying that Adidas gave us more control over what we wore. Not sure Nike will be the same way.

I thought I remembered DP saying a while back that Nike offered us a better deal this time by putting us in a higher tier than they previously had and treating us more like a priority. Alabama, Penn State, etc have pretty much the same uniform every week and I think we are in that category now as well. That's iirc so Deerpark feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

That is what I remember as well. I want to say we did not have as much control over the Alt uniforms and we would have one every year. It's been a while though so I might be remembering it wrong. Assuming I am not having a mental lapse the normal uniforms should be fine but the Alts scare me. I will probably like most of them but we are bound to get a stinker eventually.
