to the blue wardrobe and helmet

[BillSU]

IMHO, cool!

It's about time we got out of the ice age and really old traditional look and and caught up with design that is happening now with many other schools, (Oregon leads the new looks). It's exciting and causes people to notice what you've got. It would be even better that with the new look and practice facility the program builds momentum like Oregon has and we begin to attract higher caliber players and get back to where we used to be, a continually winning bowl bound football program. With the emergence of Hunt, it's a start.

Uni Options:
1. Add exact opposite colors for another look. Reverse the blue helmet to orange with blue gradation in matt finish at the back moving foward to polished orange dominating the rest of the helmet to the front, same white S, orange jerseys blue with white or blue numbers. Keep the blue pants, socks with blue or orange accents and orange and white shoes. Start a narrow orange stripe at the arm pit continue it going wide to the full length of the jersey matching up wide orange to narrow down the pant leg.
2. Total orange uniform with blue stripe. Same helmet as descibed above.

When I look at the Tides or T A&M's uni's they just look really old like our's did. I hope this isn't just a one time try it out deal but that we continue to develop new sports fashion that's extarordinary like Oregons because that's where uniform design is headed except for the traditionalists who'll never change anything. I believe the change for Saturday is exciting and change sometimes takes time to accept but people get used to the new and it gets us looking 'today' for players and recruits and joins the new practice facility and an update of the Dome look if that happens for an entire make over.

Can't do anything about attendance but if we keep winning it will.

The real big boys don't change for the sake of change. Maybe a different look for a single game, but then back to the traditional, and recognizable, uniform. USC, Alabama, OSU, Michigan, Texas, ND, etc. I don't want SU to be Oregon or Maryland.

I wouldn't mind if SU was Oregon. But I don't want SU to be Maryland.

I guess I kind of agree with Shafer's comments on the whole thing. He's a traditionalist, so in that sense he doesn't really like it. But if the players are positively reacting to it, then so be it. I didn't realize, until reading that article, that the seniors pick the uniform combo each week.

Just bizarre to me that SU chops "Men" off the end of its nickname so they can be the name of a color, and then create uniforms that completely eliminate said color.

I wasn't talking about on-the-field exploits. Rather, that the two schools are incubators/billboards for their respective hometown clothiers (Nike and UA).

It's a little less bizarre when you realize we actually chopped off the "men" due to political correctness and to appease the non "men"

I feel the way Shafer feels.

I would prefer to use the traditional units.

They do not look old to me.

But if it helps recruiting I have no problem wearing alternate versions.

I hope the alternates are used sparingly.
