Yes, they look a lot like Oklahoma, but that's fine, the Sooners look good too. Basically the Razorbacks look like Oklahoma with the OU and TV numbers replaced with an amazing classic logo. What's not to like? Can confirm that our uniforms looked perfect in person last night. It was also fun seeing them paired up against Texas again. Really looking forward to getting back to playing them annually again as it’s always a good looking game when we have the traditional uniforms.

upperV03 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 After yesterday’s result, I think it’s safe to say that the Ducks’ new all-white combo is an instant fan favorite. While I do agree that a touch of yellow would be a welcome addition, the apple green and white looked fantastic and the uniform as a whole was crisp and cohesive. I’m not sure I’d go as far as to say that it was the best all-white combo the Ducks have ever worn, but I do think it was the most cohesive with the apple green wings on the helmets perfectly matching the apple green shoulder design on the jerseys. As I said yesterday, I do think the new white helmets are the best white lids they’ve ever had, and it’s refreshing to see the emphasis on the apple green rather than silver like the old white winged helmets. It was a great looking game and easily a better looking matchup than the 2015 National Championship Game or even the 2010 Rose Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quite partial to the previous look, but it seemed like the fans really wanted to move away from those because of that whole thing where Chad Morris was the greatest failure in coaching history. Might as well go back to something more traditional that makes people feel good. 3 hours ago, upperV03 said: After yesterday’s result, I think it’s safe to say that the Ducks’ new all-white combo is an instant fan favorite.

In my head, green pants for Oregon would have really elevated this matchup. But that's probably talking about the difference between 4/5 and 5/5.

Red Wolf Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I've walked backed plenty of my personal hot takes. Gray football jerseys being universally bad is not one of them. I only feel more emboldened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxxtrot44 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 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. I HATE THIS TIMELINE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's not to like? Gonna get eaten alive for the 2nd-3rd time this week but… honestly, they look good in a vacuum, but they are too much like Oklahoma’s, so I’m not a big fan of them. They need a signature element like a different pants stripe, font, or helmet finish. Or use the white helmet a bit more often like they did against Missouri last year.

I think that their desire to look less like Oklahoma is what's tripped them up for the last decade or two. They tried really hard to find a look that was uniquely theirs and largely succeeded. Unfortunately, they were all pretty ugly, which is generally what happens when you emphasize uniqueness over good design. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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).

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.

We've also had this same conversation about Wisconsin and Nebraska too. There's a 120+ teams in D1, someone's bound to look similar, whether in color scheme, uniform, or both. It really just comes down to having features that are distinctly recognizable, even in a side by side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
