LetsGoOakland9 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 If, in USC's case, the fans are the reason why black uniforms are being considered, then the opinions of the fans need to be disregarded. The word of the fan is not sacrosanct.The players just convinced Kiffin to let them wear black socks this season. First time team rules have permitted anything other than white socks. Slippery slope ahead.that's not the 1st time I've heard this but they've worn black socks before and it was never a big deal so I don't see why it would be this time around Take a close look at the picture you posted. That guy looks ridiculous with the SC logo tattooed on his arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are black ankle braces. In the past guys have used those or black spat. Anyone wearing black socks (there have been a couple) was breaking team rules.I went back to the interwebs and couldn't find any good examples of individuals wearing black socks but did see examples of the ankle spats and black tape creating a black sock effect...this was pretty common in the early '00's for sc players...I don't think it was as much of a matter of breaking team rules as opposed to having no firm sock rules in place...I'm assuming that carroll left uniform enforcement to the equipment managers which can tend to be sympathetic to players and their fashion desires like ordering black tape or black socks as special requests.

That guy looks ridiculous with the SC logo tattooed on his arm.That's Nike's evolution of the Pro Combat look. Since players don't wear sleeves any more, they're moving to tattooing any stripes or logos that would have been on a sleeve directly onto the player's skin.Nike is currently working with NFL Equipment to produce team-branded tattoo removal machines to address the issue of free agency once they assume the NFL's uniform contract in 2012. oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .

There were already dozens of pages about this argument before, and there didn't need to be anymore. I'm sorry for turning this thread into something it shouldn't have been. Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me. I cry tears.Chopping off the dicks of Filipino boys and embracing causes that promote bigotry =/= strong moral character.

Derek94 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Didn't the Bulls originate the black alternates during Jordan's first full season back. And the acronym you guys are using...what does it stand for again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeauxColonels Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Didn't the Bulls originate the black alternates during Jordan's first full season back. And the acronym you guys are using...what does it stand for again?Black alts and BFBS are not the same thing. The Bulls color-scheme is red, black and white. The BFBS is referring to the introduction of black into the color palette where is hasn't been before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFBS stands for "Black for Black's Sake". So pretty much haveing black in your set just because you want to. It originated over on Uni-watch about a year and a half ago (ish) when Washington added the black jersey. It was either that or the Duke basketball. Idk, they moan and complain about it so much over there ( and now here) haha. Hope this was a little help to yah Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinturner95 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Also, am I the only one that thinks that Miami should go back to these babieshttp://a.espncdn.com/photo/2008/0521/ncf_g_dorsey_200.jpg http://www.a-pakistannews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/2001-Miami-Hurricanes-Roster.bmpAnd then they'd look like Nevada.
