Sure, he was a bit aloof, because he always marched to the beat of his own drum, but never heard it described that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they'll be breaking out the white lids to go with the purple jerseys as well. Absolutely awesome alternate look. One of the best in college football.

FinsUp1214 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 YES! I love it when LSU breaks out the white-purple-white. It really is an alternate done right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliott Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Yes agreed, they also happen to look incredibly good in the yellow-purple-yellow, though. A bit better than the white helmets IMO but this is a nice change of pace. Dribbble ... Behance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't deserve either of those awesome unis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, he was a bit aloof, because he always marched to the beat of his own drum, but never heard it described that way. Just Google "Pat Tillman Jerk." I'm not trying to overly demean the character of a dead man, but reports vary from "he was a nice guy" to "he was a pompous :censored: who mocked his peers and they intentionally shot him." It's totally subjective. Some people love me and some hate me, so I'm not trying to put the guy squarely in one box. But I will say that it's perhaps likely that he wasn't the full-on Captain America that ASU makes him out to be. And that's my real problem - ASU continuing to parade him around and slap a PT42 sticker on every stitch of merchandise they can get their hands on. If you wish to respect the man's memory, than let him be. Move on. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.

SFGiants58 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 @Bucfan56 made an excellent post on the relationship between Tillman the person and Tillman the "ASU legend," and the fiscal/institutional reasons why ASU still clings to him: MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back inthe 90s we had to fight to get it back as our home outfit. Yellow-purple-yellow, on the other hand, is supposed to be our alt for home non-conference games that AREN'T the home opener. This white helmet/white pants ridiculousness and "throwback" gold jerseys and helmets that have been inserted every so often are not for me. Leave all the crazy variation stuff to Oregon, Tennessee, Oklahoma State et als. We should remain traditional, like our SEC west brethren Auburn and Alabama. It is what it is.

I dislike the white helmet and pants too, not just because they are unnecessary but also because the striping is bad. I get it's the same pattern as the yellow but the line weights are all off and there's too much white space. Plus the thin yellow stripes are barely visible. If they must have white pants and helmets they should just use a a traditional triple purple/yellow/purple stripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radchad Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Regardless of his character, ASU pushes the PT42 thing so hard, it almost feels disrespectful at this point. They're parading the name of a dead soldier around as (ultimately) a way to sell merchandise and tickets, and that just doesn't sit right with me. Put up a statue and a sign if you want, retire his number, but don't throw his initials and number on every piece of merchandise 12 years later.

Oh so close... yellow shoulder stripes should be 1/2 as wide to match the ratio on the helmet and pants. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the alts are fine when done tastefully (which pretty much all of them have been). I would have preferred sticking with yellow lids and britches this week but I'm thinking that this was a team decision as Coach O is trying to do what he can to make the best of his opportunity. That being said, this look is not a bad look at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hailstateunis Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 BYU wearing Royal Blue tonight vs Mississippi State. Bulldogs wearing Silver-White-White. Wanted to see Maroon-White-Gray for maximum contrast, which would have been a great matchup, but I digress. Also, Ole Miss is wearing Powder Blue for the first time this season tomorrow at Arkansas. http://www.hailstateunis.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I was debating driving down for the game tomorrow because I've been down there the past four weekends straight but that makes it a must that I go. Thanks for the heads up!

Clintau24 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I like the alternates for LSU. It's not like they've never done something different like Auburn, or barely changed things once or twice like Alabama. LSU has done things weird for a long time, especially with wearing white at home. I love the yellow/white/yellow look. That's classic LSU. The yellow/purple/yellow is another great look. But LSU has more liberty to play around with uniforms than the other two mentioned. I mean, they were one of the first teams to do something different after Katrina. LSU has seemingly had a different one-off every other year or so since then. The Pro Combats, the throwbacks, and now the white accents. It's fun, and it's short lived. Its not a black or camo or pink or whatever uniform. It truly is tastefully done, and I'm ok with it. "I believe in Auburn and love it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
