Seems to be an unpopular opinion but I love the white pants with the away uniform. Not too maize-heavy, and the stripes mimic the back of the helmet nicely. Their regular blue/maize uniforms are in the conversation for best uniform. These bland, monochrome unitards are far from it. I even like the white pants with the away jersey, but these blue pants are just terrible, home and away. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fouhy12 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Michigan should wear navy over maize at home and split the road games between white over white and white over maize. I would do white pants on the road for the first part of the season and maize for the back half. 11 Quote fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a big fan of white over blue, but I dig the all-blue for 1 home game a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is that they've made a habit of wearing blue pants with the blue jerseys in marquee games. Think of the last three times they played a top-10 team wearing blue. 2021 vs. Ohio State 2021 vs. Georgia Now today. Even the B1G CG last year, they were wearing blue pants with the white jerseys. If you want these change-of-paces, I understand, but they shouldn't be against Ohio State and in NY6 games and just generally top-10 vs. top-10 matchups. It should be for the non-conference home games or low-relevance conference home games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PERRIN Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Tennessee Vs. Alabama was an amazing game, both in terms of play and uniforms. I don't see why the Vols switched away from their checker-stripe pants this set was introduced with, but the classic stripes don't look bad by any means. I'd prefer they go back, just because it matches the helmet and more modern block font without being too garish, but they could look a lot worse. Alabama always looks amazing, though admittedly their classic look feels a bit boring to me. That being said, I'll always take classic boring over modern boring. (simple stripes, plain jerseys, helmet numbers, 2-3 combos as opposed to solid-color pants, more outlandish jersey stripes, wacky helmets, several mix-and-match combos plus horrible alternates). 2 Quote Perrin Grubb | Aspiring Designer | NAFA Project ~ NFL Redesigns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tBBP Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 These East Carolina throwback sets are SHARP. The announcers mentioned a senior student at ECU designed them, Will Somebody.

Your comment reminded me that they were wearing them tonight, so I just tuned in. (Happy surprise that it's a close game, too.) The archetypal ECU uniform, for me at least, has a purple helmet. One of my earliest non-WVU/non-Big East college football memories was an ECU/NC State game from the early-ish 90s. And I liked the Vikings because they wore purple, so I took a passing interest in ECU then too. Those uniforms are similar to the ones they're wearing tonight, so they resonate with me on multiple levels. As for Memphis, I feel like they do this a lot with the colors they choose to use: Sometimes they completely eschew blue. There was a bowl game a few years ago where Memphis wore grey and white. This time, it's black and white. I'm not sure what the thinking is, unless they just like keeping their various uniform designs to a single color and white? Haha. Here's what tonight's game looks like, for context. (There is a dearth of photos for this game. Memphis has black pants, since this is best shot I could find of their uniforms, in-game.): 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate those too but Youngstown is a shrunk logo away from perfection. BYU's is awful but it utilizes the team mascot and looks well done. Utah's tribute looks like an airbrushed t-shirt from a suburban mall that should've been torn down 10 years ago. It also has a helmet stripe that ends abruptly into an oversized version of the memorial logo. It's got snow or stars all over it that clashes badly with the photorealism of the players. They are wearing a uniform on the helmet that is one that Utah should wear a lot more but frequently eschews for subpar alternates while wearing a subpar all black uniform in their biggest home game of the season. And, the potentially unpopular opinion, I think it is a really weird precedent for the program to set placing people on their helmets as a memorial and selling tons of 22 forever merchandise. It makes ASU and their Pat Tillman tributes look restrained.
