Guys this is a throwback

[elimunelson]

Would be awesome if we had the vision to go with a throwback. Imagine having this image of Donnie Mac from a 1987 vintage uniform.

Is all I see.

Concur. Would love to see us go throwback once a year.

I would rather see uniforms worn from the mid sixties with lace up pants.

Is Flutie going to play? They could definitely use him.

This my all-time favorite SU uniform:

The helmets looked like this:

Mahoney reminds me a bit of Flutie. Hope he channels some Flutie magic the next two weeks!

Every game.

I don't think we ever lose the block S from the helmet. I don't know that our classic look speaks to anyone but the over 35+ crowd - and the new all orange and normal home (orange/blue/orange) is growing on me.

But whatever we do is like to lose the all blues.

Wow. Is that HCTC #49?. He looks a little ...um....beefy?

how does a classic helmet with no decals speak to one group or the other? Does BC have an ID problme w their non decaled helmet?

My suspicion is if we go w a new HC, the new direction will enable us to re-do the uniform and get it right once and for all. At least that's what i'm hoping.

Who's that wimpy guy on the lower left hand side?

Csonka was a big dude. Looks like a linebacker.

Go back to Coach Mac look.

Pretty simple for me.

Wear jean jackets and parachute pants if it gets us to bowl games.

Yup. The shoulder pads help.

He was at first. Then Ben and the staff realized what a good fullback he could make.

#32. Peyton - is that you? Age is about right

It's a great look.

After Ron Oyer was injured.

I prefer the all orange no decal look. I just think the branding has been successful on the helmet (remember we didn't have a good logo for a loooong time - I'm really glad they didn't put that awful dome one on).

Ya. I know. We've talked that through before. I don't have the energy this time.

I liked the Nassib era fine. And I'd like the current look with more traditional numbers. I wouldn't mind the coach Mac look - but it would have to be updated a bit to not look dated. Penn St does this.

If anything Penn State has become even more traditional - since O'Brien.

Alabama looks like Alabama when Joe Namath played - simple, classic a true brand that is immediately identifiable. The same is true for USC, Auburn and Texas.

As you know, that's what I want - I want to turn on the TV and immediately see a uniform brand that recalls McNabb, McPherson, Philcox, Johnston, Ismail and the rest. That was and should remain SU Football - the brand of success.

There is nothing identifiable about our present uniforms. They look like nearly every Big 12 and MAC school - at least some version of the uniforms worn by those schools. I think some versions are actually interesting looking - the all orange look is interesting.

But it's not our traditional brand.

You have either A) never seen black and white pics of our old uniforms, or B) never seen a new grey uniforms.
[Btw, there isn't a joke font, but if there was, I would have used it.]
