College Football 2012 Season

I'm going to root for biggest rebrand ever, simply because of the reaction this board would have.

Lol +1. The reaction would be priceless!

Purdue's uniform from last year has the old train on the collar. Perhaps Nike is recalling them to make a simple switch from the old train to the new train on the collar. I wonder if it's less expensive to replace the collar logo than have to produce all new uniforms? I have no idea if that's true or not but that's all I can think of since they just got those jerseys.

Couldn't Nike just send Purdue new patches and have their equipment managers make the switch? That would seem like the most logical thing to do if that is the only change being made.

That is the smaller matter. The larger is the recall of the retail versions, which would be far greater in number than the ones the actual team wears.

cleats ND will wear vs. Navy in Ireland:

Gorgeous. Where can I get indoor turf shoes like that?

I don't believe they make a turf version of any football cleats. This type of cleat will work fine on grass and the newer, more realistic turf that we see most places nowadays, but if you're talking the old carpet-style turf, then I think you're out of luck. I think many of the shoes coming out this year will have some sort of tie in to the color stripe design, but I doubt you'll find anything in the Ireland colors.

Georgia Tech needs new uniforms sooooooooo bad. It's sad when youre "new" template (last year) makes you look like a cross between miami in 200 and a high school team. Russell is pretty damn pathetic.

I actually think Georgia Tech's current look is solid. It's modern, yet not an eyesore. I do think there is too much navy blue on the road uniforms. It's a cool concept to have two different white-based uniforms, but the Yellow Jackets shouldn't have a primary look that is mostly navy blue. I do really love the navy blue jerseys with the white pants, though.

"Eyesore" doesn't even begin to describe this mess:

Those aren't current.

My mistake. Apparently, they wore these atrocities instead:

I know, it's amazing right!?

This awesome. One of the most creative helmets in the NCAA.

Don't they have two different white jerseys for home and away

I wish GT would move to these bad boys full time... Maybe add a word mark above the numbers tho, looks like a lot of empty space.

Anyone know when their contract with Russell ends? I feel like GT has so much potential uniform wise. Just need to be Nike or even UA.

[HolyStroke]

Isn't GT with Nike for basketball? They certainly can do better than Russell

[Kevin W.]

No, Tech wears Russell in basketball.

That Rutgers helmet looks pretty awesome. Would I like to see used ever again, no. But it fits the team and the still images are pretty impressive.

Agreed.

Same here. I actually really like that shade of "gold" they used. Very unique and instantly recognizable.

The Big Ten is going to add its logo to uniforms in the Fall, according to this article.

"Besides, she added, those clean, traditionally designed uniforms will be mucked up with a Big Ten logo this year. She didn?t exactly say mucked up. ?We have to have Big Ten branding on the uniforms this year moving forward. It was voted on by the member ADs,? is what she actually said, but the message was pretty clear: No one wants to start putting patches all over the place. Next thing you know, the Buckeyes jerseys will look like a NASCAR driver?s jumpsuit."

That disappoints me since I don't think it is necessary, but oh well, everyone else has done it.
