Those were fun!

Actually, I tuned out pretty quickly during the Robinson era. Went to the West Virginia game, sat in the Varsity complaining about that ridiculous offense and this missed opportunity for a couple of hours afterward, and then I have virtually no memory of the rest of his tenure. I lived out of the area for that whole period and didn't have the chance to see a lot of the games.

That's a long-winded way of coming to this hypothesis: everyone who scoffs at those uniforms (and that seems to be 99% of the fans on this board) does so because they were a lot more invested than I was for a few years and they associate that look with losing games and becoming a laughingstock.

I'm not quite as burdened with that, I just think the aesthetics of those standard orange-blue-orange uniforms are objectively great: unlike the current costumes, they look like Syracuse; unlike the McNabb jerseys, they aren't laughably dated; and they're less washed-out and plain-looking than the 2012 ones that so many people like.
