Whole uniform looks like a product of that era. Overstriped to death. 

Overstriped is better than plain.

Might be a hot take but I honestly thought these uniforms were perfect.

They were really unique to Arkansas and far less gaudy than the iterations before.

 

Those are great uniforms. Thing is, Arkansas fans wanted to root for a team that didn't remind them of this very fun thing., because the fun was only had by hateful jerkwads like me.

Well this confirms why I thought oregon's new white helmet gave off a north texas vibe...

Ole Miss in navy over gray with flag themed helmet decals last week vs. Austin Peay.  Good to see the gray pants again after being worn only once last season.

This is a strong point. I never liked much of what came out during the Tapered Panel Era of uniform design, but every now and then it all came together.

I'll be curious to see if Arkansas makes any tweaks after having Oklahoma as a conference mate and potentially yearly opponent. If neither makes changes it will look like a spring scrimmage game. I understand that for both schools that is their traditional uniform. However, I never heard anyone accuse Oklahoma of looking like Arkansas. Its always Arkansas looks like Oklahoma and thats probably due to Oklahoma never changing their basic look (not counting the wood themed alts).

I don’t think those are fair comparisons. I truly can’t think of another pair of teams that look more similar than Arkansas-Oklahoma. I’m still not sure exactly where I land in this discussion, but those other comparisons just seem a little disingenuous  

 

When I think of OU, the first look-alike that comes to mind is Nike-era IU:

Not necessarily. Sometimes a plain uniform fits well with an identity. See Texas, Penn State, etc

 

Colorado is a good example of how a plain uniform can look really good

While this is a good example of how plain can be good, 

 

 

I think these are better than those.

I'll go back even further and say that ditching this look was a mistake:

 

 

The pants stripe could have been better, but overall, this is really the only time I've felt they had a look that was uniquely theirs.

 

It sucks that Alabama, Arkansas, Texas A&M, and Mississippi State all insist on wearing the blandest possible uniforms now even though they all have very similar color schemes in the same conference. It's going to get even worse once Oklahoma joins.

A subtle change this weekend as Utah brought back their old candy-apple gloss helmets. Pretty sure we haven't seen this finish since 2009.

This was a beautiful game.

Those uniforms were DOA before they ever hit the field. They were selected by Petrino but he was fired before we ever played a game in them. After John L. Smith tanked our preseason top 10 ranking, there was zero chance of them being kept around. We’re a bitter bunch when it comes to our uniforms.

There's an idea there, but I really don't think it works. Could be worse. Could be those tentacle uniforms.

Penn State & Texas are the exceptions to the rule. Colorado would be if they stuck with gold pants only.

I still wish they'd go back to the Cordell Stewart era uniforms. They look even better with the stripes. 

My favorite part was including the league logo on the right sleeve as well.

It was the adidas "tusk" template.

 

I think this is their best look as well @Lights Out. When half of your division wears the same colors this was a great way to stand out.

Agreed 100%...but what really made these great was the darker gold (the helmets were slightly darker, stripes were a bit darker, and the pants were definitely a darker shade with the shiny fabric). The light beige CU now is just blah.

I could not agree more. It stinks that A&M went back to a look that has absolutely zero character. The unique number font helps a little but it reminds me of a toned down vikings font. Besides that its just a stock maroon uniform with the school name above the numbers. If they just would have kept the shoulder stripes from the last set I think it would be perfect as that could be a unique element to help stand out.
