The uniforms will be worn every season against whichever Los Angeles team—USC or UCLA—plays at Memorial Stadium for the annual Joe Roth Memorial Game.” Like I stated before, the jerseys are in fact for the 1975 season. The helmet, however, is intended to mimic Joe Roth's last game in Berkeley with the yellow mask and is why the 2007 & 2017 version have the yellow mask. I see it as misinformation put forward by their marketing team and am trying to explain why the helmet mask is yellow and not gray ; As I said before they did not do a good job explaining the details and believe my explanation should hopefully clear that up.

Not a fan of the yellow mask as it's 1) not period correct, and 2) too much yellow up top. Correct grey mask - or even a navy mask - would look amazing. These look fantastic. Way to go UA!

Thanks for the info....btw, a yellow facemask looked great! Gray would've messed up the entire look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They inexplicably decided to match the orange pants to the orange jerseys instead of just making the stripes on the orange jerseys match all of the other uniform elements. Incredibly stupid move by the Gators. The Gators just keep chipping away at their uniform set worse, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes me so ticked off as a current student here. I rant incessantly about this every time it comes up, but if they would just: ~make the orange jersey and pants have the same stripe as the helmet ~make the white helmet have the same stripe as the white jersey and pants, with the blue F on both sides (maybe a blue facemask) ~change the font back to the regular block font ...then they would have one of the premier uniform sets in the country and look good no matter how they mixed and matched them (while staying true to their classic orange-blue-white against high-profile opponents, of course).

upperV03 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Colorado is going all-black this Saturday at UCLA: The Bruins are calling for fans to whiteout the Rose Bowl, so they’ll presumably be in their white jerseys, and probably white pants as well.

Not quite a mirror, but close. The upper-left side of the 5 isn't angled like it is on upper-right side of the 2 Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

upperV03 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 The Ducks look to be breaking in their black helmets today during practice: Given that, it seems fairly likely that they’ll wear the black helmets on Saturday for the first time this season. Here’s my guess at the full combo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
