Your argument was debunked when Stanford wore black on Friday and UCLA wore navy blue the week before, Clemson has worn purple before, Wisconsin just got "Niked" earlier this season.

Yep. Yawn.
Its just a matter of time before we get off the fashionistas and move on to future OOC schedules.
Nothing good comes from scheduling from the FCS subdivision. Geaux get LSU on the dance card!

:lol:
But what about the MC Hammer pants you still rock?
Coaches, facilities and uniforms....this train is going to make up for lost time and bring the Buffs rushing into the 21st centrury.
thats more of a comfort thing
New unis. Sweet! I lov our history but feel we need to leave the past in the past and forge a new future. Plus if we get rid of the glossy black helmets with the matte unis I'd be grateful.
The Nike guy who talked at the event here before the Oregon game made a pretty big deal about the history between Nike and CU. Made it sound like we were one of the early universities to go with Nike and that they have use CU in the past as a testing ground for new stuff (not just in football).
I am not a huge fan of the Oregon unis but I'm ok with letting Nike do something. We need life in this program.

It has nothing to do with that association for me.
I like NDs classic uniforms, and Oklahoma's and Texas' and Alabama's. I just like classic college uniforms. To me they heighten the sense of college tradition, and tradition is a big part of the game for me.
A font of theirs is called "Boulder," and it is the slanted block CU font available at least on Nike track and XC uniforms. (probably more, but that's what I'm familiar with).
Of course I chose that font when ordering for my high school team.

Didn't Nike test those air conditioned pads on CU several years back? And didn't Nike want to build some offices/facilities in Golden?
I'd imagine, had CU been better over the last decade, we'd see a lot more Nike influence on our garb.

My argument this whole time has been that an "alternate" would be a good thing. Like Stanford's black. And UCLA's blue. The fact that they don't wear those every week is my whole point.

I'm all for doing this sort of thing, just hope our mainstay uni is the norm and the special one is the "special" one.

3 ways to see uniforms:
1. What is newer is better (seems to be what you are leaning towards)
2. What is older is better (some people want nothing to do with advancement)
3. What is better is better, regardless of old or new.
I don't have hard evidence but among most of my CU friends that I've talked to about it (~20-25), ALL of us think the current uni's are the best we've had since the early 90's. And we all graduated within the last few years.

I agree. It's not really worth arguing over at this point. Bigger fish to fry.
That's only if it's okay with you Tante. :smile2:
It's also the first time the helmets have matched the pants for your crew of friends - that little change helped tremendously.
:nod::thumbsup:

Think Positive and life will be Positive.
Well we were I think the second school to choose Nike for ALL of our sports. I do know that the "throwback uni's" against WYO in 07, were first generation Pro-Combat Jerseys. They were the prototype to the official Pro-Combats. And our new jerseys under Hawk were the most advanced in the nation with Oregon. We really need to take advantage of our relationship with them.

People are so afraid of change. It's a football uniform. Just as long as it looks good and it isn't a hindrance in recruiting. Have some fun with it, they have a great color scheme. No one here dresses in '90's style, the uniforms don't need to be also. And if we were going to keep them the same we wouldn't have changed from silver and light gold. Those were awful.
