Everyone hates the Robinson era ones, but I think they look great. I guess because they're associated with losing, people can't appreciate the aesthetic?

Nassib jerseys were fine. Little too simple (and too much grey) for my taste, but they're a lot better than the current ones.

Big problem now is these goofy off-brand color combos. And I believe Wildhack is being disingenuous when he blames Nike - don't the players choose the uniforms each week? I've never seen the contract, but I find it hard to believe that it stipulates that SU go all-blue every so often. The weird-looking uniforms would be a lot more tolerable if the team stuck to its traditional brand (orange/blue/orange at home, orange/white/orange away) for 9 or 10 games and then let the kids go wild with one of those dumb-ass grab-bag looks for a game or two.

I remember Jake and Paul being 100% opposed to orange jerseys for years. It took a bunch of players rallying Jim Brown to support their cause to get orange home jerseys as a one-off. That seemed extreme at the time, but it might beat the inmates running the asylum situation of today. Kids are in charge of playing football. School is in charge of brand management. Seems a more reasonable arrangement.
