Loved our new uniforms. Thought they were very clean looking, just wish we had the SOW on oir helmets.

BAD: Boise State, Georgia, Oregon, Maryland with Maryland and Boise State being the worst.

While I do agree that our unis did look sharp, I completely disagree with your bad list. Georgia has the best uniforms I've seen in a long time. Boise's uniforms looked very sharp as well(I love all-whites). Oregon always has good looking uniforms. Maryland's uniforms were very...unique, I guess you would say...I could definitely see how some would hate them, but I could see why people liked them too. I would love to see us in some pro-combat uni's next year. Euless Trinity is already in pro-combat uniforms, so we should honestly already have them, but better late than never I guess.

I'm still on the fence on ours, the whites will probably grow on me, but I'm really worried about the greens. And georgia's?!? Are you f'n kidding me?!? Those were the worst ever. Not only are you taking one of the best/most traditional uniforms there is and changing them, but the all red uni's and giant red stripe was ridiculous! Every time I saw them I hated them more.

Nothing compares to what I saw on TV last night. Maryland's unis are hard to describe. Hideous comes to mind. Looks like they were designed by a committee.

A committee that split 50/50 on what they should wear.

marylands's made perfect sense...it's their flag. it would be like texas having red/white strip on one side and blue, with a white star on the other.

Maryland's were terrible, Georgia's were not good...

loved Oregon's, liked Boise's

i don't really care either way about our own... but it seemed like the helmet green and the green on the numbers didnt match

Agree. 164%, agree. Our new uniforms are great. I like the green.

Everyone else you listed, their uniforms just suck. Maryland were almost the most ridiculously stupid in the history of football. They'll never catch up with Oregon, who lead the pack by far in awful uniforms.

I'm embarrassed for Georgia. Unlike Boise and the rest, they do have some football history and shouldn't have to resort to uniform shenanigans for attention. Shame on, Georgia's athletic department! Fire the AD and the coach.

I fully understand the TCUs and Boise States of the world needing to build national recognition because they either: (1) sucked for so long, or (2) have no real football history.

Georgia falls into neither category, and shouldn't do this kind of thing. In fact, no SEC or Big Ten team should get into this kind of chicanery.

Non-Big Ten and SEC who should never join in uniform tomfoolery are:

Texas

Texas A&M

Oklahoma

Nebraska

Colorado

USC

UCLA

Notre Dame

Classic schools whose players have won Heismans and whose football teams have won or played in championship games should never get involved in this crackpot uniform scheming.

There is another problem in college football: throwbacks. Hell, all the helmets looks the same until the 1960s. There is no "throwback" at many schools.

UNT - we'd have no problem with throwbacks. But, like OU or Texas...do you really want to see those two just run out in plain white helmets? Awful.

Stop the insanity!

Maryland's unis look good. Why? Because they won and are celebrating in them.

I don't care what we wear as long as we are winning.

I think people hated the UA unis because they represented the worst stretch in our history.

i refused to watch last nights XFL game after seeing Maryland run onto the field before the opening kickoff. i'm absolutely disgusted with both nike and underarmour. Is it reebok or adidas that is screwing up the michigan/notre dame game?

I'm going to set up shop in UNTLifer's camp with our uniforms being decent and in need of an eagle on the helmet.

here are my thoughts for the next schools that will jump on this awful bandwagon...

1. texas tech (and they will actually think they are more respectable having done so)

2. any school in the state of new mexico

3. 50% of the sun belt, mac, mwc, cusa - with houston guaranteed

4. the entire pac 12 with my most sincere apologies to ucla, usc, and colorado

stanford is sure to end up in something consisting of leaves, branches, or christmas tree lights

Well, I dunno. To each their own. With the exception of the Maryland Uni which is just a hack job, the rest I think are sharp.

...and the carbon fiber look on oregon's helmet is sick.

...and I could give a crap what we're wearing if our players were being hoisted up by the students like that Maryland player was. REALLY could care less if we are winning. Green, White, Black... Shit, I don't care if we look like an Artichoke. JUST WIN!

      🙄 like I have stated before DC under a lame duck coach is not a highly desired job for coaches with options.

      That is very subjective. Boise State or UNLV probably will get the G5 spot in the playoff over a one loss Army team. Louisville, SMU, Houston, Rutgers and Cincinnati left conference for greener pastures. So I don’t know who anointed the AAC as 5th, but the playoff committee isn’t listening to them. Army, a team brand new to the conference that came into the conference and dominated. They were independent juggernauts last year at 6-6 🙄. AAC is viewed as better than the MAC, CUSA and Sun Belt. But we certainly won’t be viewed as better than the reconstructed PAC 12 and right now it doesn’t look like we are viewed better than the current MWC.

      Football at The Dat next wrekend

      Don't if y'all know this or not.....but the last two years we've had Texas high school football games played in Louisiana. Both years the games have been at Turpin Stadium in Natchitoches. As a matter of fact, this year they hosted two games on the same day. (Daingerfield versus Newton, and Texarkana versus Port Neches Grove). Both games were last Friday.

      The exact same thing was probably thought by other fan bases about Eric, Seth, Dan, and any other head coach we’ve hired here.
