aawagner011 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Nothing new at all, but Georgia went red versus black in the spring game. To my knowledge, they had only ever done red versus white. I was hoping we'd see new uniforms that I've been speculating will transition to the Vapor Untouchable but alas I will have to wait a little longer. Positive note is that it seems the black set is here to stay. I'm obviously biased but I do think they are one of the nicest alternates in college football.

Midway Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Very glad Kirby Smart brought back the blackout unis. Imo they're the best alts in cfb and should've never gone away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Wolf Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Unpopular opinion alert: I don't much care for Georgia's helmets. Maybe it's because the single white stripe and white facemask make it seem like they're a red and white team. I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the WBW triple stripe they used in the past. The plain white stripe never made sense to me. All this being said, I absolutely LOVE UGA's uniforms and I think the blackouts are outstanding.

Thanks for the insight. Looks like it wasn't actually 2008 but was 2009. Saw a couple of 2008 videos and it was red versus white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDmo Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Oregon seems to have moved to a more sharp version of the wing pattern as seen in the new spring game tees, could be a teaser for the uniforms to come http://www.uoduckstore.com/Green-Nike-O-Wings-2017-Spring-Game-Legend-Tee?utm_source=Twitter&utm_campaign=SM&utm_content=Spring_Game_Tee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shirt above uses neon yellow/green trim, as do the shoes for the spring game, and the profile pics for their official Twitter and Facebook accounts use it as well (in addition to the new wing pattern). Might be something to look out for in the spring game, and possibly going forward as well (though that would kind of contradict the Oregonian's report about them sticking to actual school colors).

oldschoolvikings Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Agreed. "Do something" is an odd slogan, to say the least. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 It's just a shortened version of this slogan: It's really not that odd IMO. It's just about players holding themselves accountable and getting their work done. It's especially relevant considering their recent decline and the change in regime. It's certainly a nice change of pace from "win the day" and "you vs. yesterday". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aawagner011 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 That font looks like a bad mix of styles. The normal block O (and somewhat the right side of the D) with the angled corners clashes badly with the 90 degree angles of the G and S. Hope it's not an indicator of the number font because it needs cleaning up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the use of neon accents really contradicts what was said in that article because Oregon has used them in multiple games and the equipment manager never completely clarified which colors could actually be considered part of their "traditional color palette." It could also be that the neon accents are just for the Spring Game and they revert back to the traditional yellow once the actual season hits. I like that they're keeping us guessing.

VikingsNotMinnesota Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I love the new logo, but yeah I agree, the shortened "Do Something" might not be the best idea. The full slogan is good tho, maybe use "No Excuses" instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for any future fan who has to say that in any future year. It sounds like Oregon took that one line from the full motto and said "Hey Nike, we look even more like bust buds forever!" No, really, it sounds like that happened, "Do Something" sounds like a lazier and funnier version of "Just Do It".
