2015 Uniforms

Orr said:
To be clear (and I'm not sure if you're referring to me), I'm not mocking the importance of new uniforms in attracting recruits. In our circumstance (not a winning program in our recruits' memories) it's probably pretty important.

I'm mocking the people that pretend they care because of the importance to recruiting, but obviously personally really, really care what dudes wear when they play football.

Fair enough, and I would agree that any excitement about new uniforms should come from the idea that they will hopefully help recruiting. On the other hand, a program's uniforms are a huge part of their overall brand. Recruiting aside, nobody wants their team repping the garbage bags that Maryland puts on every Saturday, and I think that has a lot to do with the interest surrounding seeing what they look like.

See, this is where I have the disconnect with the uniform stuff. Oregon's colors are green and yellow. Isn't a uniform, at a fundamental level, suppose to identify the entity that a group represents?

I guess in this case, it makes the fundamental statement that they represent Nike.

I think Oregon can get away with whatever they want because it's part of their identity now. But it's already gotten out of hand with everybody else going crazy with their alt-uni's, there were a few games last year where it took a minute to figure out who's playing.

I think there are a large number of CU fans who would think it was great if CU had a "state flag" alt uni of blue, red and yellow.
 
It's almost time!!!

I'll start caring about what the uniforms look like when the team starts winning.
 
I can't wait for CU_Video's take on the jerseys... I imagine that they will have something pretty special (as they always do)
