Like they say in Star Wars, "I've got a bad feeling about this."

*sniff sniff*

Anyone else smell that?

Smells like... piping.

[-kj]

There, I've fixed the title into something that makes sense in the English language, and is actually descriptive.

You're welcome.

I hope Nike doesn't screw up the jersey's with piping everywhere.

A little history of the CU uniform over the years....CU Uniform History

Whenever i hear the words revolutionary and Nike in the same sentience,it's usually not good.

When I hear revolutionary and Nike in the same sentence the words overdone and pointless somehow find their way into my response.

Hopefully I'm wrong this time considering what I saw with the Michigan State jerseys.

I thought the same exact thing when I read that sentence.

It's time for a new look for CU. I wouldn't mind if black was replaced with blue again, as it was briefly in the '80s (silver and gold are the official school colors), but there isn't much chance of that happening. I just hope that Nike doesn't come up with something too embarrassing.

[fkaKrock5cent]

I bet its some crazy pipeing and the broncos pant stripe.

First look at the new jerseys, looks they're based on the new Miami template with silver numbers on the black jersey.

DAMN,you beat me too it,but i holding out my verdict until i see the whole uniform(s)

Heres What they Look Like 1st Hand

CU BUFFS New UNis

[See Red]

Terrible uniforms to match their terrible play. I understand that silver and gold are their official colors, but the uniforms looked great without silver, and in the past, have looked good with somewhat small amounts of silver... but here, there's way too much here. Eww.

edit: Eh, after seeing the whole uniform they're actually not that bad. My beef is with the silver numbers on the black.

[oz615]

well,it could've been worse.

[ldswoosh33]

The Design

[See Red]

I changed my mind again. The jerseys are alright, minus the silver numbers on the black... but from the side, which you can't see in the picture with the players, those pants are absolutely terrible.

[Old School Fool]

Nike strikes again.

[ldswoosh33]

They asre like Miami, Michigans(away) and Mizzou unis in a way

[doafhat]

The new uniforms could've been worse, but I don't like that this was a change just for the sake of change. I believe CU had just updated their uniforms in 2005, when they simply upgraded their existing uniforms with a tighter fit and new materials. I really liked that last set; they were simple, classy, and easily identifiable with CU. Now a third of the Big 12 conference is in on the piping fad (and K-State may very well add to that group), but I don't think the look works as well for Colorado as it does for Missouri, Oklahoma State, and Texas Tech.
