No reason for the Orange to change.  A lot of the game was presented in the sunlight and at a very high angle, like this:  So while up close the team's uniforms definitely are very different, at this particular angle and distance, they looked a little more similar.  8 minutes ago, mafiaman said: It’s nice to see Syracuse has finally come Back from the dark ages of uniform history...welcome back!  For sure. Syracuse pretending they were New York City's football team with those stupid "skyscraper" numbers was a gross misfire. They're not quite all the way back to the perfect uniforms of the McNabb era, but they're close enough. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly pissed off by Bethune-Cookman's uniforms. Their colors are maroon and yellow (gold), but for unknown reason they're out there wearing silver chrome helmets, white jerseys with grey numbers (outlined in yellow) and gray pants. Forgive me for sounding like an old man at age 33, but what happened to wearing your school's colors with pride? Last time I checked B-C did not release any official notice of having changed the school colors to gray and yellow smh.  If you'll excuse I need to go yell at a cloud for a bit.  I use to be the VC at Cookman and, when I got there, I was told that BCU was "the Oregon of HBCU". Take that for what it's worth. In addition, I saw these helmets first hand, they have the numbers on the left side and "Wildcats" on the right. But the decals are either clear or chrome too. I wish we had a consistent look, but... oh well. Usually BCU does wear maroon and gold (ie yellow), but throws a lot of black in there too. They wore chrome for the Flordia Classic last year, but i don't recall any of time they deviated from the traditional colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I've seen other matchups like this where you have teams in relatively similar colors, but just inverted (white-black-white vs. navy-white-navy for instance) and it's really frustrating to look at. Syracuse with white pants would have fixed this even though having the same colored pants feels like it shouldn't provide more contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game was at midday, and on the broadcast, with the glaring sunlight, it looked much worse than this picture would make it seem.

MattMill Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Here’s those BC uniforms  As mentioned above, these uniforms appear fine up close (even Oregon’s have awesome details), but your complete package is a mess.

MattMill Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Oddly enough, the only BC colors came from their logo being on the bottom of the v neck  Couldn't the orange have been turned a more golden yellow? Do they get a prize for smallest identifier/logo ever?  This reminds me of Davidson basketball going black and volt green for a basketball game. Their team colors are red/white/black. https://mobile.twitter.com/DavidsonMBB/status/1096439416195874817 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerws Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I see that as their yellow/gold. The gray is darker so they might not have to change that, but it might have been a one off so they didn’t care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoknight Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Joey Harrington's uniforms were ugly. Marcus Mariota's uniforms were ugly. The weekend's game against Auburn was ugly.  In the last ~15 years, the only Duck uniforms that haven't been a massive train wreck were certain color combos when Lamichael James played for them.    They need to go back to that look, or go back to Kenny Wheaton. Considering they replay that ONE play at EVERY SINGLE DUCK GAME like it's the second coming of Christ, maybe they should take a step back and return to a classic look. I mean, a simple Green & Gold combo worked for guys like Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers.  5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.

jsr862 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Can we just make a yearly Oregon unis thread, I'm so over year to year seeing them popup hundreds of times per page with there trash. We know we get it you have 182739839293838 combos take it elsewhere. More than half the college football world can care less about you. I actually stopped following this thread as much as I used to just because I'm so over seeing this Oregon trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could always use the sleeves for the bowl patches too. Since there's no Nike logo on the sleeve it would fit better   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
