hailstateunis Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Why in the world does Les Miles even allow these purple shorts to be worn at practice. This is football.

Chicageaux Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Why in the world does Les Miles even allow these purple shorts to be worn at practice. This is football. Wear football pants.LSU TigersBecause it's sort of a tradition. They've been wearing purple bike shorts in the spring for the last few years now. As long as they don't break them out during the season, I'm alright with them. Like pscf3 said, it's practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilgump Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Its probably because they want football pant feel but dont want the knee pads so that people know not to hit in the legs. Most teams just wear shorts and girdles for this, I guess LSU wears these biker shorts. The World Basketball Championship, the Davis Cup, Ryder Cup, Iraq: Every day there's further proof that we, as a nation, are not very good at international competition.

gdu Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 from the facebook of the company that does Oregon/TCU/a lot of other team's helmets: "Chris and Drew are in San Antonio at the AFCA Conference representing HGI and our HydroSkin process. You may have seen it on helmets including the HydroChrome featured by the Oregon Ducks in the Rose Bowl. Response from teams across the nation has been incredible, 2012 should be an exciting year for college football! New designs will be released here on the HGI Facebook page so stay tuned!!"

BigDmo Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Can't wait to see. I feel like the helmet is an untapped place for design kind of like the fill on the numbers. It's cool to see more and more things done like TCU's frog skin and Oregon's carbon fiber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMcD29 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Uhh.. considering this is the college football thread, I'm assuming most of those 30 helmets are for colleges? If so, that means things won't get too wacky on the NFL side of things Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdu Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 just to clarify he said "30 teams" not "30 helmets." Also, I assume he was talking about colleges, but he didn't specify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how bout the jerseys? 31? I think yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
