gdu Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Didn't see anything posted about Tennessee making some changes for this season:1. An outline of the state of Tennessee on the back of both the home and road uniforms, placed just above the player's names2. A script "TENNESSEE" on the front of the road jersey, above the numerals3. A faint checkerboard design in the numerals on the road jerseysThere were a few screens posted from ncaa 14 but no real life picsThere were real life pics unless I saw them on Uni-Watch and not here. I also posted a quote from Butch Jones about the likelihood of seeing an alt uni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island_Style Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Attention is the beginning of all relationships. Even recruit/school ones. Some need to stick out more. They don't have the tradition, money and backing of an Alabama. So they use peacock feathers. Nature of the recruiting beast. Especially when recruiting teenagers. I think it is no coincidence that Oregon had it's best years when they started to get all wacky. I am not saying "modern" uniforms are the sole reason. They are a key component and Oregon knows it. I think it is one of a few factors that got the snowball rolling at Oregon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgiff17 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Regarding the mere existence of alternate/crazy uniforms, I'm neutral. Have them or don't - it matters not.What matters is when smaller, under-budgeted schools with poor coaching buy into the belief that adding a neon jockstrap will suddenly turn them into Oregon. The ONLY reason that schools should be offering alternates is for the interest of fans and players. I'm sick of every Also-Ran football school having an "unveiling" each week. I suppose from a marketing angle it drums up interest in the school and that's fine. And yes, those schools are also entitled to rock some cool duds and I hope their players enjoy the change of pace. But you don't become Superman just because you put a cape on your shoulders.The uniforms create appeal - the coaches and players win games. The appeal might get a few stones turning, but winning games is what becomes an avalanche.Plus without all these changes what would we all do with our spare time?!

Easily the best in the country. They got great facilities great coaches.They're not regularly contenders becaus a bunch of kids saw cool uniforms and decided they wanted to go there, they did it because they built a great program with state of the art facilities.The uniforms help draw a little bit of attention but that's it.To sum it up then it's Phil Knight's $$$ and his ability to throw essentially unlimited nike resources into the program that makes the Oregon product so attractive.

bucknut40 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Found this on Oregon's site today. It's what colors they want fans to wear to games. Interesting the white out for the first game of the year.

tj4eck Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I just noticed that the green is all opaque, except the Utah game, which is more of a camo print. Hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then when you take panoramic stadium shots it almost looks like there are no visitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave-Bird 08 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 "The way you look at Badgers will never be the same" has me thinking it's not a subtle change.Really, though, I've never liked how similar Wisconsin has looked to Nebraska. I'd like to see them do something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
