rynoz10 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I can't stand the numbers on the helmets, especially the blue on the orange, its hard to read which defeats the purpose of putting the numbers on the helmet. If you are going to put something on the helmet why not put that "SU" mark they just paid nike all that money to develop so that when you are on national tv people will know who you are. Also, Syaracuse made this big deal about being "the orange" so where are the orange jerseys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffles Posted June 1, 2005 Author Share Posted June 1, 2005 I wasn't too high on the blue jerseys until I saw them with the white pants.I gotta say, just like with the name/logo change...I wasn't sold at first, but I'm crazy about it now. Although I would be interested to see an orange alt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebass123 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 that's all i could find. i don't even know if they are the real thing they wear. they usually wear orange pants when they wear them too. and i know that sounds weird, but if i'm not mistaken, they have like a 22-1 record when they wear them. so i love them. www.joseflorenz.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yh Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 The only aspect I really don't like is the move back to a grey facemask. The blue looked really good with the orange helmets and would have also been a nice complement to go along with the blue helmet numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Could've been worse, but I just don't think old school when I think of Syracuse. These uni's don't really go well with their other new marks, or bball uni's. By themselves, they're nice, but as part of the whole package, I think they missed the mark a bit.They kind of remind me of those va tech throwbacks from a couple seasons ago.

ebod39 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 ?We designed the uniforms to respect the past and represent the future."geez, where I have I heard that before. Oh, yeh the BYU press conference, the USC press conference, the Georgia press conference and pretty much every old school throwback Nike has done since the NY Giants. They've been throwing that mantra around since 1997,give it a rest already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footballfiji Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I think they look awesome. Nice and Clean look and harken back to the glory days of 'Cuse football (Jim Brown vs TCU in the Cotton Bowl).

Thunderstruk Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I kinda like the helmets but wish they had different face mask color. I am unsure on the unis, kinda like orange pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Why does the first guy in the white have only one sock on? Who is he, LL Cool J???Anyways, these are meh. Their last jerseys were meh and so are these. My real issue is with the number on the helmet. Blue-on-orange makes it look blurry. So yeah, I give it a grade of MEH.

Plaid Paint Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 The first article also mentioned the names will be removed from the jerseys. It also said 2 white jerseys, 2 blue ones. I couldn't tell if there was any difference. That first newsstory is mistaken, there are only two jersey and two sets of pants, but they can be worn in 4 different configurations.

yh Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Thank goodness they found a good action shot of Fred Mautino to display the uniforms from 1952-66. Clearly he was the most noteworthy Syracuse football player from that era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahub Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 They definitely should have kept the blue facemask. It's one thing if your going totally retro, but those pants are pretty modern looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
