Yes, I'm going to beat that dead horse.Also has one of my pet peaves of modern jersies. The numbers are way too low. They could be/should be at least 4 inches higher after you scootch up that logo. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coheed Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 On NCAA 14s latest uniform pack they released a A&M uni that is grey but they call it Dark Onix and a helmet named razor wire.A page late on this, but here's a pic from in-gameLooks to be this helmet that was circulating a few weeks back:My guess would be they'll bust them out for this weekend's game against LSU.

Botiger Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I feel like patterned facemasks could be really really cool if done right. Imagine sublimated buckeyes for Ohio State or sublimated shamrocks for Notre Dame. Could be nice.I could see tiger-stripe pattern for some teams. It could be cool.

Midway Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 For some reason, I find the smokey greys to fit in perfectly for Tennessee's brand even if grey is not a school color. One of the few times I can live with a complete one off like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the few times I can live with a complete one off like that.it actually is a school color...It actually isn't:UT’s distinctive orange color was inspired by a small cluster of orange and white daisies on the Hill. In 1889, UT athletics association president Charles Moore spotted the flowers and chose the school’s colors in homage. The colors soon appeared on athletic uniforms and they have since appeared on nearly every item in East Tennessee, from clothing to cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeauxColonels Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Smokey Gray is in fact a school color.Well, how 'bout that! I still don't like the unis....primarily because of the crappy pattern Adidas has thrown into the new jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimEOBrien Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Smokey Gray is in fact a school color.Smoke gray is an athletic school color like GLOBE, REGALIA, SUNSPHERE and EUREKA! are athletic school colors, in that, they're not. Their just meant to be used as accent colors on letterheads, official university marketing, etc.Would you call IU Majestic or IU Mint a school color applicable to Indiana's sports programs? Eff no. Even IU Cream isn't used on a single IU Athletics uniform, you know why? University primary colors ≠ Athletic primary colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even IU Cream isn't used on a single IU Athletics uniform, you know why? University primary colors ≠ Athletic primary colors.Smokey is listed on the same tier as Orange and White. They clearly specify that all the other colors are on a lesser tier. Which means that Orange, White and Smokey are all considered official primary school colors by the university itself.University colors don't always equal athletic colors, but there are many instances where they do in fact coincide. And just because IU doesn't utilize all their primary colors on their sports uniforms doesn't mean another school shouldn't.I agree that the uniform doesn't look good, and that simply orange and white look far superior to smokey gray. But for those of you crying foul on Tennessee and Adidas part for using this color, you are off base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djam2410 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Smokey Gray is in fact a school color."Primarily, White and Smokey should ALWAYS be used to underscore the boldness of UT Orange"i would definitely prefer them wear orange but this is better than the black alternate that they had Cal Bears | Miami Dolphins | Cleveland Cavaliers |@dcjames5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
