New Oklahoma State football uniforms

Earlier today on orangepower.com, one of the employees from the OSU Student Store leaked a picture of the new Nike replica:

Long story short, I hate them. Instead of keeping with the same basic style that OSU has worn since 1984 - the same style worn by the likes of Thurman Thomas, Barry Sanders, and Tatum Bell - we've abandoned Oklahoma State's football identity for Miami's.

I liked the re-"branding" with those italized numerals. Regardless, it will not do much to save Gundy's jobs. I am afaid to see the pants. Hopefully, they will be plain.

I can't believe you just mentioned Tatum Bell in the same breath as Barry Sanders and Thurman Thomas...

Nice. I would have thought that they would have put the old sleeve stripes according to old reports.

[statebully]

i think it looks better than what they used to wear...especially that rediculous number font.

[cupie]

I think they look pretty sweet.

Nice change; without dusting the past uni's.

Based upon what I can see, I like them a lot. I'll have to take a look in the back, though. They had better not have stripes going horizontally in the back like Miami.

Im pretty sure they will have a stripe in the back like Miami, since it is basically the miami jersey. I would have rather them just put a new number font and kept the same uniforms.

That's pretty much how I feel about the whole matter. While the new design may be a nice design on its own, it just doesn't work for Oklahoma State. OSU abandoned it's own unique look in order to look like Miami.

OSU has been wearing Northwestern stripes on the sleeves of its uniforms for a great deal of its history in football. OSU has worn essentially the same jersey since 1984 (except for the "Black Saturday" unis and the infamously awful 2000 set) with minor alterations through the years. Even back in the 40's we wore the same stripes on the sleeves:

By simply removing the black cuffs, adding the usual OSU striping pattern to the sleeves, and removing the black insert, you have a much, much better looking jersey that's a good compromise between tradition and the future:

agreed

Visual reminder of what the 2000 unis looked like, if possible.

Thankfully the 2000 set was killed off after just one season.

These replaced the fabulous unis used from 1995-99:

Icky!

Lousy SportsBelle.

[Brendan]

I think they look very sharp

Yes.

I don't mind them too much. For the most part, OSU's had some crummy designs the last few years.

[Fyrwulf]

I like the modified design combining the old and the new. As for the really old stuff, how can you say it's good? It's a cookie-cutter uniform for a team that has the most common color combination in American sports, there was no unique spirit to the uniform.

The wraparound bib MUST DIE. Hopefully it's like Mizzou where it only goes to the side panel. Either way I hope the OSU fans make them get rid of this ASAP.

[CityOfWalrus]

yeah they aren't complete miami rip-off since they don't have the bronco bat-wing part on the titty region.
