Yeah, I think having so little orange in our uniforms is pretty damn goofy.  But I've also learned to not care so much anymore.

College sports is a total cluster@&$# when it comes to uniforms.  There seems to be no general oversight, as there is in the professional leagues, and manufacturers seem to use it as a test bed for wacky designs.

Some people defer to the players liking new designs, but I'd challenge anyone to find one instance of a team saying that they DIDN'T like a new design.  And in a sport that is so driven by money, I find it funny, bordering on absurd, that we're to believe that it's the opinion of players that drives these changes.  Baloney.  It's marketing and sales.  It i$ alway$ about marketing and $ale$.

And the state of our uniforms over the past decade seems to be a reflection of our school's long standing discomfort with it's own nickname and color.  First they wanted to drop Otto, then drop Orangemen, then they dropped the "men", then Cantor made all university correspondence orange and maroon, etc/

Sometimes I think they should have just changed our nickname to Chargers or Wolf Pack or whatever, changed the school colors to teal and L.L. Bean heather gray, and spared us all this bizarre angst.
