jn8 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 K-State/Mississippi State looks amazing, but I’d like Mississippi State to add white outer stripes to the helmet to match the jerseys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upperV03 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Video with some more looks at today’s Oregon combo: I am really excited to see this combo on the field, as I think it’s gonna look really sharp under the lights. This is definitely my favorite combo of theirs so far this season. One interesting note is that this video shows yellow gloves, while the promo pics released on Thursday showed dark green gloves. I’ll be curious to see which ones they actually wear tonight. Personally I’d prefer the green gloves to match the helmets and cleats, but that’s a pretty small detail that shouldn’t effect the overall look that much.

Kevin W. Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 The helmet and numbers look black. If they’re going to make the green so dark that it’s almost indistinguishable from black, then what’s the point?

If they’re going to make the green so dark that it’s almost indistinguishable from black, then what’s the point? I’ve said this before, but I really feel like they chose such a dark shade of green as a reference to the Harrington-era set, which had a very dark, almost black shade of green as the base color, with the lighter green color used as an accent. I also think they chose such a dark shade of green so that the yellow uniform pieces and dark green uniform pieces could be mixed and matched and it would still have a similar appearance to the popular black and yellow bumblebee looks they’ve worn in the past. It looks like the new dark green set has effectively replaced having a black set, at least for this season, but it’s still dark enough to have a similar effect as the black while also giving a nice and subtle hint of green as well.

Clintau24 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Drastic (sarcasm) change for Auburn, who is breaking out the navy socks and cleats tonight. First time wearing navy footwear since 2015. Team has wore predominately white accessories since 2010. (unfortunately the only decent photo I can find so far) "I believe in Auburn and love it!"

Man, just had the same thoughts. I can live with the white numbers (though they’re still a downgrade from the gold), but the white collar and cuffs are awful Granted, it could be a lot worse, but it’s just such a downgrade from what they had. Throw that gold facemask and helmet stripe on the previous set and they’d have been set for eternity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenaciousG Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 This is like the thing with the Yankees’ caps (and a lot of MLB caps)... they are really really really dark navy blue. They look black to my eye, but they are blue. Oregon’s unis were dark dark green, even though they look black in certain lighting. Speaking of black, it’s gotta be only a matter of time before someone does a Vantablack helmet, right?
