We played pretty decently too all things considering. Don't forget these monstrosities: The white version wasn't quite as terrible, but still pretty bad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardsblues02 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Yeah, not a fan of that particular logo. PSU's uniforms were kind of a mess until recently. Kind of like their team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webfooter Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 At least with UNLV's field, you'll always know where you are when flipping to one of their games on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clintau24 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 UNLV played on that field last year. It looks good, just wish the diamonds were smaller. They're way too big to work well. It's way too busy as it stands. "I believe in Auburn and love it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FightingGoldenDevil Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Here's hoping they keep them when the raiders come to town. I think I might have schadenfreude when it comes to teams messing up uniforms and branding in general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, is that 50th roundel gonna be a patch on jerseys? All it needs to add is a black field and you have a winner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WavePunter Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 5 hours ago, VikingsNotMinnesota said: I think kids should be able to mix and match and have fun because it's college, not the NFL. We can criticize how bad their uniforms look till we're blue in the face, and I'll probably join you, but don't for a second pretend that kids on the University of Buffalo's football team should give a that they don't have an iconic brand. If they want to get hyped up about wearing black and chrome once in a while, go ahead, college is about exploration and having fun anyway. Mixing and matching is fine.. In fact, I even mentioned it in my post.. The issue is 3+ helmets, multiple one-off uniforms, and entire head-to-toe alternates that dilute the brand.. Alabama players have plenty of fun winning rings every year with 1 helmet, 2 jerseys, and 1 pair of pants.. As stated previously, my issue with alternates is that so many teams create alternate helmets and pants to go with an alternate jersey.. Totally unnecessary.. A team should be able to create an alternate look with 1 (2 at the most) alternate uniform element.. I think teams can be creative and have fun without being Oregon copycats..

It's almost as if the players enjoy those sort of things or something. Unless you're some kind of blackout reveal hype video truther who thinks all of those are false flags by the apparel company or something stupid like that. You know the whole "Recruits love the crazy uniforms" thing wasn't original total bull, schools like Oregon and others who started doing more alts absolutely got a boost because of it because their willingness to appeal to a younger crowd did just that. It only stopped working when every single other school followed suit, and now it's a joke, but originally that idea had merit to it. In the end, it's all great to make fun of how colleges have really bad taste in how they arrange colors on tights, but we also have to step back and realize that our opinion doesn't mean anything, and that we aren't the target audience at all. It's like when people online point out plot holes in kids cartoons. They're not necessarily wrong, but they are far and away from the target audience and no one who is making the cartoon cares about their opinion. In a professional sport it's another matter, and those players are being paid lots of money to represent a brand, and should look as professional as possible. In college those kids are not being paid anything to work way more than the average student and maybe occasionally barely scrape enough funds to order a pizza that they are contractually obligated to not get for free. Let them look a little crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had to play at Sam Boyd for a year I'm sure they'd buy new turf or repaint the red to black between games. Just don't use the crew from last year's Hall of Fame game.

I think he was hoping UNLV would have similar markings when they move into the Raiders' stadium. 99.99% chance they won't have them. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
