I guess the uniform craze is in full bloom these days. Good for the sporting goods sector, more jobs....er are they made in the USA? New Helmets for Buckeyes Buckeyes have had 2 weeks to prep for the game, got new helmets, I hope this turns out better for the Buckeyes than the new helmets/2 week prep time did for the Irish. :wink:
Don, those helmets are very close to the design of the early and mid-60's.....so long as they don't get crazy with it, I don't mind the throwbacks every once in a while honoring some of the earlier times. I know the kids seem to enjoy them.....I also think they will be the difference maker on Sat! :wink:
I forgot about that Stu. My question is why the Wisconsin game? Mich State wore their uniforms vs arch rival UM, Mich and ND wore throw backs vs each other. I know Wisc has been good since Barry Alavarez took over back in 1990(?), but is Wisconsin historically your #2 rival or something like that?
Terry, Your question was for Stu, but yes I definitely think Wisconsin is the #2 rival, both in football and basketball.
I dunno...maybe Nike just wanted to do a different game this year. Still think they're ugly. Throwback my ass....they look like they belong in "Tron".
The jerseys and pants are nasty to be sure, but I definitely recall that helmet design.....the wide stripe back in the days of former Mayor Laschutka, Tom Barrington and Dr. Don Unverferth and a young fella that went by the name of Bo Rein. I remember them very distinctly....
