vicfurth Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Not a big change, but they took the names off the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amare32 Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Sweet. I love that. I think it only works in college sports and baseball. More baseball teams -- the Cubs and the Red Sox, especially -- should remove names from their jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bipolarbear Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 yeah, it's great having no clue who is out there on the field. i love it. hell, take the numbers off, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 i think its okay in college football, but i dont like it in baseball for some odd reason.

blueclad Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 This is a great traditional move by Coach Fran. There's something classier about playing for the name on the front rather than the one on the back. However, that got me to thinking about how much I hate the school's name on the front of the jersey. It looks more "high school" than classy.

oz615 Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 and another change that is worth mentioning is that A&M went w/ the white face mask on the helmets which is a huge improvement IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean84106 Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 It was also awesome watchin them get their asses handed to them by the Utes. I was at that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 i liked the all maroon helmet myself.

Gothamite Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 yeah, it's great having no clue who is out there on the field. i love it. hell, take the numbers off, too! If the team is at home, and you have no clue who's on the field, you aren't a very good fan. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Coacher42 Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Another uniform note from last night. Some schools can't pull off the "all one color" pants and jersey. Some can (I went to Washington State and loved the all crimson home uniforms). I really liked the all red Utah. Only thing is, their helmets are crimson and the rest is a true red. It looked kinda goofy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pflava Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Coacher beat me to it. The Utes helmet color was indeed crimson, and considerably darker than the red found in the rest of the uniform. How did they screw up that badly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicfurth Posted September 3, 2004 Author Share Posted September 3, 2004 I noticed the names and I thought "practice jersey". I really didn't like it that much. However, the white facemasks are a marked improvement. Funny note, while they sported the maroon facemasks, their record steadily dropped & Slocum was fired.

The Utes helmet color was indeed crimson, and considerably darker than the red found in the rest of the uniform. How did they screw up that badly... It's not that the color is off, they look different in person. They're just like the Oregon helmets.

pflava Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Well, on t.v. they looked even worse than those pics I posted. The contrast was startling. And that's too bad, because I love Utah's logo, and those could be some great uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pflava Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Thanks Pantone.I still don't understand why they would change to a darker red when having the helmets treated with the metallic stuff. It would have looke great had they kept the same shade of red. Sounds like the equipment manager screwed it up. Changing the helmet color, while not altering the color on the uniforms, is completely boneheaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_cynic Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Like I said, they color is different in person.....that's why it's genius! I guess you wouldn't know though.

quantum Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 The helmet and uniform should have been matched better. It's close, but still off more than it should be.
