They have the Auburn problem of stripe inconsistency though. Fix the spacing and it's damn near perfect. They actually did match the spacing last season, so Orange/Blue/White is actually has the most consistent striping in college football. Not surprised to hear Florida is considering black uniforms now. They added black baseball jerseys this spring and took all of the white off of both their blue and orange jerseys.... You can forget about traditional uniform design when Scott Stricklin is your AD. http://www.hailstateunis.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can forget about traditional uniform design when Scott Stricklin is your AD. This is a classic and great modern look better than any other combo. It won three national titles (96. 06. 08). Just a giant head scratcher why Stricklin wants to add black unis or alternates when that color never remotely close to their actual true school colors.

I also get that they are also replicating that stripe pattern in the number keylines but wish they'd just go with a solid white number or possibly an orange keyline without the blue space in between. 5th in NAT.

The orange jersey would also look better with just blue outlines on the white numbers, like they had in the 80s. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

They wear uniforms on pro day? Usually it's just t-shirt and shorts, or a practice jersey. I don't recall a player ever wearing something on pro day that hints at a uniform change Spring games are usually when you see a change or two. Smart is believing half of what you hear.

4_tattoos Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 What's been the verdict on those Vicis helmets as far as head injuries go? Noticed some players actually wearing those this past season in the NFL and NCAA. Have players wearing Vicis endured less brain trauma? Is there even a way to detect that?

Not anyones fault, but until you get a complete sample of detailed data that's peer reviewed we are stuck wildly speculating. Also don't forget that no helmet design can prevent your brain crashing into the side of your skull because there's liquid between the two.

Also don't forget that no helmet design can prevent your brain crashing into the side of your skull because there's liquid between the two. SG Helmets has a reported 1% concussion rate, and a new more attractive model. Arena team in Texas reports 0 concussions over a 4 year run with them. Sadly companies like Riddell (BELL) are les than forthcoming about their concussion rates. My son's football career came to an end early his senior year due to multiple concussions while wearing the Speed Flex. For that reason I have purchased 2 for my children still playing football... that and the youth helmet is 1.8 pounds! And concussions are caused by shearing of nerves in the brain (think popping the head off a dandelion) which can be caused by whiplash/bobble head effect. That can happen with zero head trauma (IE helmet to helmet, or helmet to ground) My son's was from helmet to helmet. Sorry... off on a tear.

True, but Oklahoma, Texas and UCLA all sent out similar ones, including last season for the Under Armor uniforms being the exact same as what they sent out.
