GriffinM6 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 This is a 2012 change, but I just saw it break.ByTimReynolds Tim Reynolds Breaking news: Miami says football team will not wear green jerseys in 2012.Lame. With all the alternates from other schools, why drop yours?Maybe they don't feel like some small-time program that needs constant uniform gimmicks to attract attention.I'm not sure that theory holds much weight, considering Miami has been a Pro Combat team 2/3 years, and the fact that Nike seems to change their uniform every four seasons.It's just Al Golden with his mentoring from Joe Pa at Penn State. He said this year that Miami will only wear orange and white. I like us with orange pants on the road. We look classy, and would look better with our 1980's unifomrs.

aawagner011 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 The gold block "M" has been a mainstay for the past 16 seasons, clearly the most successful in the program's history and I have no reason to believe they'll move away from that or the helmet striping scheme. However, I can foresee a scenario where the Tigers adopt a white alternate helmet (as a handful of SEC programs have done) which might use the tiger head logo (just the head, not the oval tiger head logo which appears on the present jerseys) since the gold decal would not show up very well against a white background.Other than Kentucky's white helmet, what other SEC teams have an alt helmet? Other than UGA and LSU's Pro Combats this year, I can't think of any...You could maybe argue Florida who has flirted with a white helmet various times. It was seen with the throwback set with the plain block F, and then again with the Pro Combats where it was worn twice (with the PC set and then with the regular set in the SEC Champ game).

Chicageaux Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Why shouldn't they be grouped with those teams? They're part of the SEC and they wore an alternate white helmet, therefore they're part of the teams that wore a white helmet. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicageaux Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 That makes sense then, but you can also take A&M off that list too then since they weren't in the SEC when they did it. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So talk to me about them after 2017. Not sure about those 'bama lids, that looks to close to Cocky's in that image for me...strange, I've never seen those before. What games did they wear those for?As for the rest, They were either all one time only (NPC) or a bottom tier so I really don't see that as being a "trend" in the SEC. With Mizzu coming into their pledge period I don't think they should throw out their iconic gold block M on black. Personally I have no problem with them making it matte black, just don't make it white. That's not the Mizzu team that the SEC accepted, so simply be who you are and stick with it, don't change it up just because you made it to the big league.
