leopard88 3,197 Posted September 11, 2014 A former BC player (I assume) was killed in the 9-11 attacks and he always wore a red bandanna.It's in memory of Welles Crowther, BC lacrosse player, who helped lead approximately 20 people to safety in the attacks. Back in 2011, UCF students honored his memory when the team played BC on the eve of the 10th anniversary of 9/11/01.http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2011-09-10/sports/os-ucf-boston-college-notes-0911-20110910_1_bandanna-ucf-students-ucf-fansClassy gesture by the UCF fans. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nuordr 1,060 Posted September 11, 2014 Also Florida will be wearing Orange this weekendI really like that look. I'm surprised they haven't used this look since they moved away from it in like 1990.They have used this look. Have you been living under a rock?Don't watch a lot of FL games out here on the West Coast. Plus, I'm not exactly the biggest Gator fan so I don't have the best memory when it comes to their uniforms.They've tended to lose in the orange. Surprised they're wearing them again.I hope they lose again in orange this weekend. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pianoknight 2,991 Posted September 11, 2014 according to the new smokey grey uniforms adidas plans to put out for tennessee and saturday down south says tennessee will have an orange helmet this is potentially what the combo will look likeorI realize that's just a mock up, but those adidas tire treads look absolutely hideous in certain color schemes. This is one of them. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clintau24 1,542 Posted September 11, 2014 The reasoning for BC's red bandanna deal didn't click until today. ESPN has a wonderful piece on Welles and his story. It gets me every time I watch it. Truly one of my favorite ESPN pieces. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sport 14,573 Posted September 11, 2014 Rumor of Texas Tech wearing throwbacks against Arkansas this upcoming weekend. Old SWCLove them so much!!! They look great. That logo looks so much better in simple red and white than it does with all the needless bevels. Also Florida will be wearing Orange this weekendI really like that look. I'm surprised they haven't used this look since they moved away from it in like 1990.They have used this look. Have you been living under a rock?Don't watch a lot of FL games out here on the West Coast. Plus, I'm not exactly the biggest Gator fan so I don't have the best memory when it comes to their uniforms.They've tended to lose in the orange. Surprised they're wearing them again.Ugh I hate the orange jerseys. They're so committed to maintaining the blue-white-blue stripe on an orange background all across the uniform and then when they actually have an orange background they change the stripe. Drives me nuts. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wyopokes2 266 Posted September 11, 2014 To be worn tonight:And who says Florida always loses in the Orange jerseys? 2-1 since they brought them back. And the LSU game they lost in them was a crazy finish that got away from them.http://www.alligatorarmy.com/2014/9/8/6124589/florida-gators-orange-uniforms-kentucky-2014 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattharveysc 37 Posted September 11, 2014 Is it weird to think that I actually liked the one sleeve colored jerseys haha! Weren't the greatest, but I thought they were fun. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clintau24 1,542 Posted September 11, 2014 Marshall just announced they will be fixing their numbers after this week's game. The AD said they will get the white portion outlined in black. That doesn't make any sense to me, and doubt that will fix anything at all. Fans and especially media members can't stand the new numbers. I just think the AD misspoke or was misquoted on this matter. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seattlesonicsofsacramento 98 Posted September 11, 2014 UDub's look this weekend:Interesting that "a player favorite" doesn't have any of the black elements. Also, lol @ "48 potential combinations". I really don't like this mix-and-matching trend; makes it so hard to forge an enduring identity 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LetsGoPeay 34 Posted September 12, 2014 To be worn tonight:I'm watching this game right now and UNT is going full blown BFBS from head to toe. I'd like to see a team called the Mean Green wear a little more.... you know, green. It looks pretty good though. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

illini1 83 Posted September 12, 2014 They're going white helmets vs. the white helmets of Illinois? Fail on the Huskies. Should've gone with gold.Illinois is wearing all white against Washington this weekend. I assumed we'd finally see the orange helmets and pants since Washington is going white/purple/white. It'll be a visually boring game. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
