Absurd. Just because they're playing in a baseball stadium doesn't mean they have the baseball-ize their uniforms. You're Notre Dame for pete's sake. Very shameful moment. Better is expected of them

After that two sided helmet a few years back, no one should expect them to choose the standard uniform for one off games like this.

Probably an unpopular opinion: ND looked good in pinstripes, though the helmet should've remained gold.  

Reverse the colors on the sleeves and ise gold pants with five stripes on the side and no one freaks out this bad.

I thought LSU would have worn purple tops vs Rice since they are not an SEC opponent.

 

LSU doesn't wear purple against all non-SEC opponents...only the first one at night, I think.

Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

I was at that game Saturday night, and it had me curious as well...

 

The general unwritten criteria has been that purple jerseys are worn at home for:

 

(1) non-conference games (2) other than the home opener.

 

However, last year we wore our white against Syracuse, which fit the criteria, and this year wore it against Rice, which also fit the criteria.

 

 

Maybe they added two more criteria:

 

(3) unless it's a Power 5 opponent, and (4) unless it's the final home game/Senior night.

 

 

It is what it is.

(5) unless it's colder than 78.4 degrees 

 

If the Tigers are actually adding criteria to wear the purple then that's lame.

I don't think this is viewed as desecration despite what the letter of the law says. Current popular opinion finds this to be acceptable. Even popular and widely loved

Current popular opinion finds this to be acceptable as well.

Doesn't mean it is right.  If you want to honor vets, honor them.  If you want to make a quick buck by playing into modern FOX news notions of "patriotism", slap a flag background on your logo and start selling t-shirts.

I get the inspiration from the Mississippi State helmet, but what is that uni?

That "Mississippi" wordmark with the interlocking "S's" that was also on the tail of the Air National Guard plane is pretty old; it's been around since the 1980s.  It is featured on state welcome signs, license plates and marketing advertisements,  originally along with the tagline, "It's like coming home".

The regular colored block A (the one in my avatar) on the matte navy helmet for Arizona looked way better than the all red block A imo. I'm not gonna talk about the game.

The navy with normal logo helmet, just like the normal gloss a few years ago, is soooo good.

I think Vicis is one of the companies that demands you use THEM for reconditioning of their helmets or risk voiding their warranty, so I'm assuming that the difference you're seeing is the difference between Riddell's version of that orange and Vicis's version of that orange..

 

For some reason our Riddell shells look red in natural light but orange under the lights.

The top picture is warmer-month natural sun light (which is whiter) versus typical stadium lights in the bottom picture (which tend to be more yellow)

I just see it as harmless fun to be honest. Even the kind of stuff you just posted (though I wouldn't equate it with flags on football uniforms) I don't see any malicious intent to disrespect the flag and country even when it's worn as overalls or a bathing suit.
