Sport Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Gonna start by stating that I wish college teams would limit themselves to one helmet with an option for a once a year throwback option. I miss the days when teams had one helmet and not 5 alternates. Here's some that I miss:loved these. When you have such a unique color scheme you don't have to go over the top with your uniforms. The only thing special about these was the contrasting sleeve number, which was a great way to invite more color into the uniform and kept it from just being a plain jersey.

TFoA Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Still can't believe that adidas managed to mess this uniform up in its current state. They had it right (or as close to right as they can get with the current uniform template and material) as recently as 2014, but then they decided to do this. It's maddening.

andycumbee19 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Oh, I will jump in here...Troy Davis era Iowa State:His proudest accomplishment...the lowest Wonderlic score of all time. He was literally the dumbest football player to have ever played the game.You've clearly never met this guy. While conducting a postgame interview with him for the newspaper I work for during his senior year at Scott's Branch HS, he was asked to fill out a recruiting/prospect form. He misspelled his own name. When I saw this, I asked if WE had been spelling it wrong all along, he replied "it don't matter. Either way is fine." Jerrell or Jerell? Which one is it!?Id be willing to bet thatd be part of the reason he had to go to a JuCo his freshman year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with "alt" jerseys or "bfbs" jerseys, the standard helmet can (and usually does) work.. It's also a better way to introduce something new without everyone thinking you're abandoning your traditional look or team colors.. So many concepts include multiple helmet options, one for each jersey/uniform combination.. With helmets, less is definitely more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSUViking Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Those shoulder numbers look like they should be on a freeway overpass. Holy Christ. Dial down the font size a few hundred notches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dial down the font size a few hundred notches.There was a mistake with shipping at the jersey factory, so they only had one number size.. And they slapped it on the front, back, and shoulders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dial down the font size a few hundred notches.I miss these numbers. With smaller shoulder pads and jerseys they wouldn't work anymore without looking like pee wee players. Too bad.

the_grateful_ted Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Both of those LSU unis are so ugly, was the Gold helmet one also pro combat? Somebody else posted it up here but UofA has to bring back the double stripe, and ASU has to bring back Sparky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they slapped it on the front, back, and shouldersI'm not sure if you're serious, but this is absolutely false. The front and back numbers were gargantuan, too, and by this logic, they would have been smaller than normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
