no, orange pants was more of an alternate they threw in sometimes. they even wore orange pants this year. they also went with monochrome in 2002 and before im pretty sure

I'm almost positive that they didn't have orange pants last year.

After further review, god these are awful. In my mind, Oregon state would have almost perfect unis if they connected the damn stripe on the butt. And nike did it again here. Why? Just why? Aren't these people professional designers? Random gray in the numbers, leg script has gray that stays gray onto the roads when it should switch to orange, wordmark on chest of road, no wordmark on the chest of home, and why the f *** is there a swoosh with the wordmarks on the back of only ONE jersey? Where is the consistency? And even without these obvious flaws, the overall design is indescribably awful.

That's the 2007 set. Not sure if the 2008 set was identical.

But thanks for the plug :)

So when exactly did they wear the orange pants? Because I loved those (like a lot of other people) and I think of blue-white-orange when I think of their road uniforms. These new uniforms are just the worst. It's too simple in that they go monochrome for road and away and don't incorporate enough orange, but they are too cluttered in that they have stupid striping and those weird stripes on their butts. I didn't like the drop shadows on their old unis, but this is a downgrade in every way but that...

The uniform wasn't perfect, but those colors absolutely were.

Actually, I rather liked their use of the Broncos template, and I thought their numbers looked good too.

Geez, what is the recent Nike facination with silver on white details?

I know there are posters who say we just rip on everything Nike does, but seriously? Its just all so WTF inducing, how can you not?

We may not agree about the Lions new unis but I fully agree with you here :).

I try to think of a college football team's recent "modernization" that Nike has actually pulled off well. I try but I fail. I hate meaningless piping, thus I hate any recent Nike design.

I actually like some of the elements of this set, something that I can't say for teams like Missouri, but they ruined it with some of the choices they made when applying the elements, like the gap in the buttstripe, the team name on the pants (never) and why the wraparound nameplate on the home while the road has the classic chest lettering? This would have been a really nice modern uniform if the buttstripe was continuous and both uniforms had chest lettering. Nike has solid ideas at times, but then takes everything too far. They're the Saturday Night Live of uniform designers.

This combo is exactly what the Denver Broncos should break out on the road, including the orange side stripes on the away jersey. Great look.

I'd agree, except that it would require either solid orange pants, which I don't mind in NCAA, but I hate in NFL.

They got Oregon State right, once they ditched the sports bra look.

While I like the idea, they could've done away with the bib at the back with the broncos nameplate beneath the numbers, I like the grey numerals, and actually don't mind the little script down the strange angle on the leg. It's a Nike College football thing, and we can't stop it so we might as well be glad that they didn't turn this into some oregon abomination designed by the players.

Now when Nevada gets run over by the Broncos like they do every year, at least they won't be the ugliest team on the field.

I like these. If you're Boise State, you let Nike do whatever you want because uniforms do factor in to some kids decisions.

I've heard interviews where kids say "It was 50/50, but I love Oregon's uniforms"

Now, that leads me to the next point.

Never let players design the jerseys.

Case in point, your Cincinnati Bengals.

Nike almost never messes with helmets... there's no money to be made in merch.

Also, helmets aren't really big enough for them to crap all over.

Tell that to the fine folks @ Portland State. :D

(Or actually, that mighta been Jerry Glanville's doing...maybe both.)

And BYU looked nice once the NCAA made them get rid of the bib (and yes, I'm biased).

Question...what made BYU switch to those colors in the first place, anyway? Were they not happy with the royal & white they had, or were they anxious to jump on a "trend bandwagon" back in those days? I was always curious when they first did that.
