JayMac Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Bowl game looks should be traditional. With that being said, does Western Michigan have a traditional uniform anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crosfam Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 From the announcement lunch. Unique trophies. Hard to see the leather shields (laying flat) for offensive and defensive players of the game. Still hoping for the turquoise, but most likely will see this combo with cherry red pants for the lobos.

VikingsNotMinnesota Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 is that black or blue from UTSA, I honestly can't tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 It's navy blue. The black uniform has a pretty visible shockweb design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Army numbers have been pretty easy to read. I'm impressed. How do you know you've messed up your throwback? No UCLA stripes, Navy! Apparently they were based on another jersey, not the gold jerseys shown but the white version of the 1963 uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that being said, does Western Michigan have a traditional uniform anymore? why is that? i think if there's even 1 game a team would do something special for, it's a bowl game. it's a special event, so "dress up". even if its something like putting a rose on the helmets of the Rose Bowl teams, it makes sense to me to make it special and memorable through the uniforms GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosiahWVU Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I heard that Tennessee is wearing "Smokey Gray" uniforms for bowl game. Not sure if true, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you have an alt uniform that coincidentally pairs well with a natural disaster does not make it a good idea. The message I get is a cheap excuse and hollow gesture for a traditionally uniformed team to wear its alt uni in a bowl game.

Apparently the concept of restraint is lost on our contemporary culture... If this was decided before the fires I'd agree. But I'm hoping this wasn't the case. And as tone deaf as UT has been towards people who go to the school, I am hoping that their statement is truthful. A patch will probably be on the helmets as well.

Clintau24 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I can attest that the Smokey Grey helmets were packed up for the season months ago. I think that solidifies the choice being made after the fires. Glad I'm not the only one against them doing this. I pissed off plenty of UT fans on Twitter the other day haha "I believe in Auburn and love it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The graphic says it all..."look at us and how much we care" brought to you by "T/swoosh". Nowhere is there any messaging of any sort vehicle for outreach/volunteerism/call to action. Not even a half-assed portion of the proceeds excuse is mentioned. This move doesn't even meet the minimum standards to be called slacktivism.

BlackBolt3 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 That's not very tasteful at all. Especially with the game in Nashville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems very offensive to wear odd uniforms that emphasize the pain instead of wearing their loved, traditional, orange that would emphasize getting past the disaster. .

This is good news, but it is kinda crazy that they need multiple people at different levels to formally approve, and that they needed to issue a release about their plan. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still leaves quite a bit open for some shenanigans, but at least it's mitigation from a pretty bad offender.
