Uniforms vs Tulane

[keith]

Wasn't there a rule change a few years ago that required the pants to cover the knee (with padding) or did I dream that?  If so, what happened to it?  Seems like the pants in college football are on their way to becoming shorts.

I like the outline of Texas, but make it white with a green SOW. You can’t see the green Texas on a black helmet.

Not to my knowledge. From the Texas vs Wyoming game earlier this year:

It's sad when, Wyoming, the ugliest uniforms in college football due to their brown and yellow colors, consistently look better than our school because we allow feckless dolts to select what we wear each week.

This would never happen at a real athletics department.

They found the white jerseys.

No, they purchased black and white jerseys and put black and green numbers on them. They look like garbage up close and even worse in the stadium or on television.

I don't mind Wyoming's uniforms.  I think the old west style lettering is a nice touch.

But how do you feel about their purses and other accessories?

They’re a definite downgrade from the 2 previous white jerseys.

So freaking tired of hearing the athletic department talk about branding for the Mean Green when they keep putting teams out in black (and the grey that is even worse)

Yes, either they should stop talking about branding or STOP putting the team in Black in games in conference or against P5 teams.  It is like a team talking about focusing on getting pressure on the QB rushing 3 at him 80% of defensive snaps.  (I would much rather them do both and just have so logical branding decisions)

It's the black shoes that make us slow.

I was told that the pants are checked at the start of the game and validated.  After k/o, no other testing is done (or penalties applied).  This type of action epitomizes the 21st century.

I have similar questions about the mouthpiece rule.  Pros started getting away with not wearing them and it trickled down to NCAA over the past 10-15 years.

Just change the helmet and I liked black when it was a novelty. I lived the Helwig years where Cooper and Navy made its way into our look. I feel black is doing the same thing. Becoming our dominant color like Texas Tech.  Even our score line looked bizarre in black. Now when they showed the green SOW on white cutting to commercials, that’s our look. The helmet is terrible for tv. 

But another entertaining loss. Proud of the boys today. The worm will turn and we’ll start winning these games. Can’t go into 21-0 holes.

I had this this same thought today.  Either wear green or stop being the Mean Green and just be the Eagles.

I keep hearing this but the helmets looked amazing on my tv last night. You can’t really see any logo of any team in wide shots but in the closer shots the helmets looked great and the green really popped. 
Not trying to be smug, but how old is your TV? Could be part of it?
