New Colorado Buffaloes Uniforms

[CLEstones]

I just do NOT think italic number/letters belong in football, basketball or baseball. Track & Field or auto racing, they are fine. But I think they make football uniforms look extremely cheap.

I will begrudgingly admit that Colorado has a very good color scheme. I'm excited to see this unveil.

aaaaand the best away uni's of all time????

Oh for sure. I can't imagine a better carpet for a Suh pick-six than black & gold.

Kidding aside, I actually do like the look that CU has had for the last several seasons. Black and gold is a good high-contrast color scheme, which always helps, IMO.

Kinda surprised he didn't kick the QB in the nuts and stomp on his head before he scored.

From the teasers, I have a good feeling these are going to look a lot like the Gary Barnett-era unis.

All that's left to decide is: What will the striping look like and what color they'll choose for alternate jerseys & helemts.

Is that really an era that people want to be reminded of?

Not the worst era in CU history. In 2001, they won the Big 12 North with a 62-36 demolishing of a Nebraska team that played in the National Championship, then beat Texas for the conference championship. There were decent years in the Barnett era.

48 hours away! Colorado is doing a good job of keeping it under wraps so far....

@cubuffs

48 HOURS until we unveil our new unis at Student Field Day. Is that a pattern in our numbers? #443 #GoBuffs

[Tracy MidGrady]

Looks to be some sort of rock pattern

[See Red]

The rock pattern makes sense, I guess, with the Flatirons and all, if that's what it's supposed to be. Not a fan of it on the uniforms, though.

All of the teasers had me really looking forward to these uniforms up until that last one. The stitching seems excessive.

"Un-washed" the image a bit.

White|Silver|Gold|Black granite ??

[AgentColon2]

That's a lot of stitching.

[WSU151]

It's actually no more stitching than a regular twilled 3-color number. I think the kiss cut just accentuates it.

I wasn't referring to their on-field performance.

Their official school colors are Gold/Silver/Black i'm glad to see a return to silver

[Tracy MidGrady]

So the entire Jersey will have the rock pattern because that's not a solid white

Think it will be similar to TCU ? I hope that is not the new fad that these schools move to

[Germanshepherd]

In the tweet they mention the number 443. They confirmed on twitter that it wasn't pantone color 443.

I saw on twitter that 443 could mean 4 helmets (white, silver/gray, black, gold) 4 jerseys (white, black, silver/gray, gold) and three pants (black gold and white or silver/gray)

What year was it when they had the split-number font style (like the Blue Jays)? Those were pretty neat.

1997-1999. The split was removed from the digits in 2000.

I doubt they're going to do anything crazy. More like an update to an already solid set of uniforms with little school-specific design cues.

The teaser pic with just the swoosh sure looks solid white.

And the "Colorado" tease shows a solid black jersey.

The entire jersey won't have a rock pattern.

if you're expecting simplicity and timeless minimalism i think you might be disappointed. thats the kind of uniform they have now, Nike isn't going to just throw a pattern into the numbers and call it finished. the number texture is cool though, looks like a heather fabric.

im expecting something within the shoulder/sleeve area, alternate jersey color, and 2 alternate helmets. 1 will probably be really stupid.

but looking at Nike's work this year, i have hope this uniform will still be good. they're all about patterns right now, but for the most part have applied them tastefully. hopefully that's what we get, another tasteful uniform we can live with, but it certainly will be different from what they're wearing now.
