Yes and no.  Yes, you want to stay relevant to the young market, players and recruits. And you want to sell lots of gear.  But you also want to protect your brand.  I'm okay with having some special unis..  I've always been okay with the "platinum" on the basketball unis.  But if you are going to mess with them, there still have to be some standards.  I think the orange helmet is OURS.  They added the block S, okay, I'll give them that because we had to establish our trademark.  IF you depart from the orange helmet, you had better still have the block S...and it better be Orange.  And there is only one acceptable departure from the current jersey, IMO, and that is Orange.  And since all orange looks like hell, then you better couple it with white or platinum or something to complement the orange.  No Camo please.  That is just god-awful.  I like the matte helmets, and I can see how that could be nice in conjunction with the orange.  We have nice unis now.  We re not Oregon.  Their "brand" is defined by changing every game.  For every other program, that just doesn't work.  It has to be a special thing.  And for the most part, you stick with the brand identity you have established.
