gdu Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 This is why you see black and silver on TCU's uniforms. It's part of their history.Eh, I think it is a bit of a stretch to say TCU started wearing black pants and alt jerseys in 1998 because the team wore black leather helmets back in the day.Texas Tech has long used black as a trim color, but that isn't why they started wearing black helmets, jerseys and pants.

gdu Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Probably one of the greatest uniforms in college football today:I've always liked my dad's alma mater's look, though I think they should keep white pants with the road unis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The all white is just a little too much white, IMO. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally prefer dark/dark/light(home) and dark/light/dark(road) for dark helmets and light/dark/light(home) and light/light/light(road) for light helmets.

WSU151 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 It is what it is, Dmo.The green helmet, green and yellow home-and-road sets are good. Not great, but good. Definitely better than the rest of the matte black/carbon/anthractie/silver/gray/charcoal combinations (aka clownsuits). Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

I generally prefer dark/dark/light(home) and dark/light/dark(road) for dark helmets and light/dark/light(home) and light/light/light(road) for light helmets.1 - Me too2 - Depends on colors. Tampa Bay's pewter/white/white looks really good I think, but most teams look good dark/light/dark.3 - Agreed - another great look, I think, is LSU's rare yellow/purple/yellow.4 - Again, depends on colors. Florida State looks great with gold/white/garnet, but it doesn't mean the gold/white/gold looks awful. Miami's white/white/white looks really good. If Ohio used another color, say more of the gold/tan color, on the all-whites, I think they'd look pretty darn sharp. Note that I'm using white/gold/yellow/silver as "light" colored helmets, and pewter/navy/royal/green/blue/black as "dark" colored. Your definitions may differ.

Billy B Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 The simple green and white looks good on Ohio, but it looks extremely lazy to have plain white pants with the double stripe on the helmet and jersey. The pants kill that entire uniform for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Put a simple two stripe pattern on the pants (green on white, white on green) and Ohio has one heck of a nice look.

slapshot Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 The Oregon clown-suits diss is turning into one of those overused phrasesI'm definitely not a fan of the overabundance of Oregon's "wardrobe-of-the-day".But not all of the combinations are horrible. Green jerseys with either white or yellow numbers, paired with the gold pants, that's a look I can live with. For the white jerseys, the numbers need to be green, Pair those with the yellow or green pants.Once in a while, Oregon puts together an outfit that's both modern and school-color-specific.

Which means a lot of people think it holds true. It's not just me. *shrug*Once in a while, Oregon puts together an outfit that's both modern and school-color-specific.Indeed. They have a few combos that really work. To bad their uniform ADD keeps them from wearing those combos more often.

dakotapalm Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Sigh. For some reason, the mention of Oregon on this site is becoming similar to the mention of abortion on a political discussion board. For some reason all rational behavior exits when the Ducks are mentioned. I think we shouldn't have ignored the OP's suggestion to leave out Oregon. I personally like their current sets (not so much the previous "diamond tread" accents or the lemon color/flames helmet).

Ohio has a nice look, but the total cop-out of plain pants paired with the double-stripes prominent on the jersey and helmet mess things up.

I know double-stripe pants/shoulders/helmet has been done, but I think it's a great look and the plain pants are the only flaw in an otherwise great uniform.
