I assumed we were getting 5 Snooki's.
It pains me to say it because Raiders, but a true silver, gold and black, or silver and gold would be fantastic.
I'd grudgingly live with a silver and black combo, but add gold in there, and it'd be amazing.

For me the Barnett era unis are still the best, but to Yak’s point it’s largely because of what we accomplished in them.
Yup. These were my favorites.
GBB was amazing for obvious reasons, but let's be honest: we can do better than those helmets.
I like the simplicity of these unis, but they are a little TOO simple. Like they forgot they needed to order them for the season. But yes, due to the 2001 B12 championship season and the Nub beat down, they look badass.
I liked the Barnett era unis a lot, but if we’re being honest, they were mesh and look closer to today’s practice uniforms
It's why I really like the current look. Has the simplicity of the Barnett uni's but with the added details that make them look like D1 uniforms.
The type of effort put into uni changes appears to be a recycled slide deck from last month's meeting at work done 5min before the meeting.
Using tonal updates would greatly improve current unis. Black on Black, Bright Silver (not grey)(use a 3m reflective material), Bright Gold (not wheat), Silver on Black, Silver on White, Silver 3m outlines, no underarm cuffs, material changes to heighten tones. Noob design team at work here.

There is likely a limited amount Nike can do for the upcoming season. I am guessing that we will see updates this season and then larger sweeping changes the following season. It would be interesting if Nike could develop a gold fabric that has some metallic qualities for the uniforms like the Vegas Golden Knights use in their uniforms.

Nikes ability to make gold and silver fabric that actually looked metallic (and not just beige or gray) seemed to nosedive about a decade ago. I hope we can get actual gold back someday.
After you said this I went and looked at a Golden Knights uniform pic, and the gold on the sleeve looks like it might be a non-breathable type of material and I don't know how ideal that would be for a football jersey.
NHL sweaters do not have nearly the same performance criteria that professional/collegiate jerseys do.
Different design criteria entirely.

I know gold is a primary school color and beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but that is f**king ugly.
I want the word COLORADO big again
Yea good point, alot of these recruits have been wearing white in the snow shoots. And we've seen Prime in a white hoodie and now in that which jacket yesterday.
I sure don’t. I realize I’m most likely in the small minority, but I think it looks horrible aesthetically. I get tradition, but I’m ready for some style.
Not a chance. Sometimes colors will look off when you're shooting a screen from an angle.
It made our teams look huge, albeit the pads and the jerseys also were larger back then, the big Colorado was impressive on the opponents eyes when they saw us running at them. A small Colorado is a word, a large COLORADO is a statement
There is a reason that no teams have large letters up front, and you say it in your post. I don’t think that opponents will be too psyched out when they see OLARAD on our jerseys.
Any player intimidated by a large font is playing the wrong sport.
If your comment was in a larger font, I might've took it seriously.Any player intimidated by a large font is playing the wrong sport.
In one of the latest YouTube videos (not sure which one exactly, there's a lot from different sources) Coach Prime was doing a pre recruiting weekend brief with equipment. Cool to see him wanting to use the style and cool color options we have as another selling point to recruits. In that meeting, he was talking about the changes for this year's unis, and they mentioned big changes next year that we can't make in this short of time frame. Seems like these pictures are for this year, and we may be going Oregon style next year with several new options.
