I just exchanged emails with my Michigan buddy ... I started out with pretending that the Buffs team were pleading for big, bad Michigan to try not to beat them up too much so that we might still be able to have some moderate success in the Pac 12 season (a clever psychological ploy if I do say so myself). He pointed out that if the team really wanted mercy, it probably isn't a good idea to wear the '94 "Miracle" unis, with which I couldn't disagree. I would have gone with the "Stormtrooper ensemble" ... I think that rocks, and for my part I think it's time to move on and start a new era of success.
If it's a done deal, so be it. But I would remind those who lobbied for the GWB unis that while they were the ones we wore for the '94 game (which I was at with my buddy when I was still a UM fan and had no connection to CU) ... they were also essentially the uni combo we wore for the '97 game (which I was also at with him) and in which they kicked our asses so badly that Skippy melted down on the sideline and berated John Hessler like it was his fault. So there's that.

Look to the future.
The 97 uni was just different enough for it to be one of my least favorite Buff unis of all time. Glad it only lasted 2 years

I didn't mind them
I didn't care for those striped numbers, either.

The Sporting News had us preseason #1 in 1997.
Well they forgot how to run the ball for one. Slick made them soft imho.
How did Cigar Aficionado have us ranked that year?
Yep because we had a Hell of a class coming, guys like Corey Redding and ****. Next think I know he's gone. Coverage wasn't as good back then.
