Well I am going to disagree with some of the opinions earlier in the thread. I don't think the uniform craze is a fad or trend, I think it is here to stay. I think it is a reflection of our cultural values in general. I don't think it hurts branding because you have the school name sitting there at the bottom of the screen burning a word association into your brain for three hours. As designs get more sophisticated and sales increase so will demand for newer unique designs. Obviously some will be better than others as we already can see, but design as a whole is like that. You may have some holdouts like Penn St and Alabama, but that will become their schicht "We don't change our uniform, blah blah tradition, not changing etc." If anyone needs an update it's Alabama, boring shouldn't be a schicht.
It will be interesting to see how this eventually influences the NFL. One of the best at marketing their product. Uniform changes play against their branding a bit and might cause some friction with fans. Eventually I see them folding as well when the colleges as a whole simply look more progressive and interesting on the field. The NFL can't have that. Making money always helps influence direction as well.

Iowa State wearing these next weekend vs. Iowa:
Hey ISU, 1937 called and wants its uniforms back.

beware the habu
Oh look, they can play checkers on the sidelines.
Madrid Real is on call waiting then
I for one, still dig our unis. I've been waiting a long time to have this particular style back. I've seen way more badness that can happen with the uni craze - witness most of the unis on this particular board (ISU).

I like this quite a bit, suits them well

And this is how you make a terrible color scheme even worse.
I'm pretty sure Ronald McDonald wears those socks.
I'm trying to figure out why Richard Pryor is wearing shorts and a Chicago bowling shirt.
CU should take note. If you ever want to mix powder blue and gold and black... It should look like that.

Welcome back
+1. Kind of looks like those stupid Oregon uniforms with the feathers on them.
I'm probably in the fading minority but I still prefer the traditional uniforms for all schools, not just us.
I couldn't agree more.
I absolutely love our uniforms, but I think it is time for an update. I don't want us to go full Oregon and have crazy stupid uniforms, but a uniform update/modernization is needed I think and it is coming. Next season should have the debut of our new uniforms. The UCLA uniform to me is very Hollywood and very LA so it fits them, that's why I like it.
I'm a fan of UCLA's traditional colors (for them) and when the fit/fabric of uniforms made a leap this last decade, I though they benefited from the change. Modern cuts and materials coupled with the colors looked great.
Having said that, the new uniforms look really cool to me...but not for UCLA. They already had a great thing going, IMO.
