Orange jerseys with white pants at home and white on white for road games.

The greys were OK for a once a year thing.

I will second that. The orange pants are pretty rough. Alternate between smokey grey and black once a year.

We have lost more over the past five years in our traditional unis than the grey ones. Losing record is still a losing record :yes:

I am in between. I believe in tradition to the point, but if the traditional is ugly or drab, it needs to be tweeked. If I were a uniform design guru, I would make helmet logos for Alabama, Penn State, Nebraska, and Ohio State, and reverse the changes to the Texas Helmet. I have seen some good helmet concepts ideas at MG's Helmets The best helmet out there? I give props to Navy. Best helmet ever!

As to uniforms I would give a third color, I would add some grey highlights to Alabama (very subtle), Silver to Penn State, and some subtle white trim to Michigan. Since Tennesse is now adding Smokey Grey to it's pallet, I would add very subtle trim highlights to the home and road uniforms. I know some would call that a slap in the face of tradition, but two colors in uniforms in any color combination is boring to me.

The old school uniforms I like (though I may not like the programs) are Georgia, Florida, Florida State, Clemson (though they should always minimize the purple), LSU (who should wear purple jerseys at home), and Wisconsin.

As to "new school" some of it is just plain gaudy. Oregon and Maryland is an example. Multiple Logos, and using every color you can think of is just tacky. New school uniform I think are heading in the right direction are Arizona State, Washington, TCU, and Tennessee. This years changes mostly pleased me, but I hope Nike can make the next step without going insane with it. I know the OP listed Tennessee as Old School, but since Butch's fashion show,I believe Tennessee is now a "tweener". best of the new school? Kentucky's Black alternate. they may not be playing so well, but that is a cool look for them.

I have always liked most of the NFL uniforms. IMO, the best are the Packers, Steelers, Jets, Rams, 49ers, Chargers, and Falcons. Changes over the past 10 or so years that I didn't like are the Dolphins, Giants grey pants, and the Ravens wearing purple jerseys with black pants. Seattle's new helmet looks good, but the uniforms are trashy. I mention the pros, because many of their uniform templates over they years would look sharp for the college game. As to throwback week, less is more.

Sorry for paddling on, guys. It's an off-season Saturday.

Yeah, Weve won a few games in orange and white over the past half decade. But, I'm sure the record is still a losing one.

Maybe the guys should just play in burlap sacks? Uniforms are bad luck apparently.

Disagree about the "storm trooper" aways. We're the Big Orange! I hate seeing all white with very little of our school color represented! I like the white jerseys with orange pants.

I can't believe how many people don't like the orange pants. I love the white jerseys with orange pants. I wouldn't mind if they wore it at home occasionally.

If the all whites are called "storm troopers" Uni then this should be called the "dark side" uni's. The one thing I would do different is replace the duck feathers on the shoulders with checkerboards.

Edit: could not download the picture. Could someone please help out.

"Also gray might or might not be neutral, but it is ugly. Tech, Tennessee, and Aggy all wore hideous grays this year."

I'm 36 but I'm old school when it comes to unis. The darest I will go is checkerboard britches. The problem is that we really can't experiment too much with our shade of Orange. So tradition is the best option imo.

Our colors are orange and white...that makes me a traditionalist. That being said i'm not ready to bring back leather helmets.:banghead2:
