pianoknight Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Ohio has such a great look. Aren't they Russell currently? I think some of the "non designer" brands (ie, not Nike, UA or Adidas) can work really well on simple, classic looks. As in the case of Ohio, if it ain't broke don't fix it. 5th in NAT.

NIU and WMU are adidas and have pretty basic sets, avoiding the usual adidas trainwrecks. Ok, Fleck had WMU going a little heavy on the boat theme the last year or so, but that dude is just weird. I'd imagine Solich will keep things in check at Ohio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 So another team will have those horrible UCLA stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germanshepherd Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Adidas has done well with classic looks before, let's not act like they're completely incapable. It just depends if Ohio wants to go crazy or not. i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkerws Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Yeah. The Nebraska alternate unis have been mixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just meant the everyday normal uniforms. I don't get bent out of shape for a single alternate game each year. But seeing what they've done to UCLA, among others, makes me concerned in general. It's sad im a way, though, because the QUALITY of the gear is great. I see Nebraska receivers RAVING on social media about the AdiZero cleats and other gear being stupidly light and strong. It's just their design team that needs a slap upside the head. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.

It's just dependent on the individual teams. Some teams do it around their spring game, some teams do it in the summer, and some even wait until the fall. I'd guess we'll start to see some new things in the next month or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 For those changing suppliers it will most likely be after July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the teams known for "big splashes" (Oregon) are pretty erratic with their announcements. The traditional teams who typically drop a single alternate (Texas, Notre Dame, etc) each season seem like they unveil during the summer lull leading up to fall camp and the school/conference media days. 5th in NAT.

Yeah, that's generally how it goes. Oregon never even had a formal unveiling of their new set last season, although that was due in part to them not really having a cohesive set to begin with. But to your point, many of the teams that tend to have quite a few uniforms, helmets, alternates etc. seem to keep people guessing for as long as possible.
