Sport 14,635 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. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TFoA 54 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. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andycumbee19 483 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. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FSUViking 280 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. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MJWalker45 6,042 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.I miss these numbers. With smaller shoulder pads and jerseys they wouldn't work anymore without looking like pee wee players. Too bad. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doctorpeligro 138 Posted January 16, 2016 Would be nice if Wisconsin brought back the '62 jerseys as an alternate when they switch to Under Armour. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sleuthpanther 800 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 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
