pianoknight Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Going with the theory of "no publicity is bad publicity," the Duct Tape Pajamas might get a few more National viewers on this week's Nebraska-Illinois game and considering Abdullah has moved up to 3rd or so on most analysts' Heisman lists, that may not be a bad thing."Yes, the uniforms are atrocious, but tune in and watch AA8 gash the Illini defense for 200 rushing yards."I mean, adidas is clearly NOT smart enough to orchestrate something that subversive, but hopefully it's a silver lining to Nebraska's... umm silver colored linings. 5th in NAT.

MDGP Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Why is it that Penn State can't ever use normal football helmets? It seems like they always have their whole team outfitted in those goofy helmets that nobody else wears. Makes me wonder if they have some sort of contract with Schutt.I always thought the same thing, though a pretty good amount of our players wear the Revo SpeedFlex (at least enough for it to be noticeable). Maybe they have a primary contract with Schutt, but allow players to wear other helmets if they choose. I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!

LetsGoPeay Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Who has the best solid white uniforms? I'm not really a fan of any solid whites. I know PSU is a classic though Yup I was gonna say these or UT are mine.I'm partial to these: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 So we now have the Peach and Citrus Bowls back, and we have a bowl named the Cactus Bowl. I'm loving it!Just need the Blue Bonnet Bowl back!Didn't Dartmouth used to wear helmets like that not too long ago? I feel I remember playing with/against them back when the NCAA Football franchise had a bunch of the FCS schools, and they had helmets similar to those. I've always liked them. Very unique.ASU and the Nubs look horrible. Is Nebraska going out in sequins for Dancing with the Stars or something?Their primaries are white.

I believe Michigan has a contract with Schutt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmets are big business and landing big accounts (college programs) are perceived to be good for exposure. For non-exclusive schools the manufacturers/reps try to get in with the head equipment managers in order to become the preferred/default supplier to the point that unless a player requests a particular helmet model, they are issued the preferred supplier's equipment. This is a pretty standard sales tactic in the business world and can involve either really good pricing to seal the deal or a variety of perks/preferential treatment is offered to the customer. There's a good article in a recent forbes about xenith trying to crack into the helmet market that lays out some of this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fufkin Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Colgate unveiled this new alternate helmet last week against Cornell. Unfortunately, they paired it with jerseys from 2011 and pants from last season. It should also be pointed out that the kicker is wearing Adidas shoes, even though Nike is the official provider of uniforms and shoes.https://twitter.com/ColgateFB/status/514204594776584192/photo/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coogrfan Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 In celebration of the 25th anniversary of former quarterback Andre Ware winning the Heisman Trophy, the Cougars will wear uniforms designed from the 1989 season. The 2014 Cougars meet Tulane on Saturday, Nov. 8, inside TDECU Stadium.No word on the helmets yet, but I would bet that they will be the older gloss red shells with the decal seen below.

shaydre1019 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 One of the best all white sets in my opinion:I really like these, but the single pant stripe not matching with the double shoulder stripe bothers me. Pant stripes in general bother me on the Adidas template, they get warped so bad, and I don't think the Texas patch helps the cause here.But for the most part these are really nice.

It's intereting that the lineman in that pic has no sleeve stripes, yet Ware is wearing the 2+ stripes look, and I think 3 sleeve stripes were the "official" look (like the 2014 jersey). Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerws Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 They used to have an exclusive Schutt Contract. I don't know if it expired or as new helmets hit hte market, they just let Riddell creep in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
