Yes, I root for the Eagles.

No, I did not like the change from Kelly Green to Midnight Green.

And nobody I know likes the change, which came about with the change in ownership at the time - Jeff Lurie.

The team is trying to get back to the Kelly Green look, but for various reasons the process is taking time.

The use of black became vogue in the 1990s - it seemed that everybody was trying incorporate it - everybody from the NY Mets, to the AZ Cardinals to the Duke Blue Devils.

I obviously don't like it.

I like brands that connote or recall success.

So, I agreed when the NY Islanders returned to their Stanley Cup uniform. I agreed when the Toronto Blue Jays returned to their World Series Championship uniform. I agreed when the NY Jets returned to their Super Bowl uniforms.

And, I agree with USC, Texas, Auburn and Alabama and a few others for maintaining their brands of success.

I would like to see us do that - to treat our program as a traditional one that cherishes its success and that foregoes the BS gimmicks that mediocre or non-traditional programs feel they need to emerge from the crowd.

I have no problem with the occasional throw back or special uniform.

But I do believe that when you turn on the TV and see the Syracuse Football team you should immediately recognize it and that will occur with the return of the Coach Mac uniform.
