    Did they really have to put Archie's number on that clown suit?

    I guess the kids like it. I'm pretty much a traditionalist though.

    Sorry...we cross edited posts.

    Maybe the kids like them...maybe they help with recruiting...maybe it's money from Nike...I dunno.

    But these aren't "uniforms"...they are gaudy displays...costumes.

    Typical of the "look at me" attitude in modern sports.

    LSU's doesn't look too bad...just modernized. tOSU's looks like something out of "Tron".

    Gentlemen, maybe all of us older folk are showing our age, but like you two, I think the uniforms look hideous.

    It would be interesting to see some poll results on these things based on age group. I'm guessing us over 50 types would be high on the dislike and the 18-35 group would be high on the "They are really cool" side.

    Sorry for the delay in replying to this but I was busy telling some neighborhhod kids to get the hell off my lawn.

    I like the LSU uniform and the red and black uniform is OK but the rest are an eyesore. Has Nike changed the the Spartans school colors from green and white to green and gold?

    Dude, I'm not yet 40 and those are fugly! Penn St. is one of the best, I hope they don't mess with it. The classic Georgia uni was also a classic, they screwed it up. Maryland, as commented elsewhere was hideous.

    I agree I think they are hideous but I was enjoying the moment to call someone a "geezer"... :D :D :D It was too good an opportunity...

    Good Point Bobda. Here's a link to more photo's of those uniforms and their new Army/Navy game uniforms.

    I have to say I like the Army/Navy ones they look pretty cool.

    But Sparty with Gold Helmets?

    Uniforms

    Well,
    Maryland's home uni's are 100% better than the road version...

    And they still make me want to up-chuck!
