Black is not one of our colors. 

Nah that VY practice jersey is an exception

This is the wackiest polo design I can find.

That polo has some nice Latin flavor....tons of character imo.

The ND polo that ball boy is wearing is a fucking abomination.

Need to change it from fog to sooty grey half-melted snow in the background for Michigan.

Just on helmets but this is a pretty cool idea.

Literally one of the worst uniforms I've ever seen.

Good luck reading these non-conforming jersey numbers, TV spotters & PA announcers

They've stopped using that top one, right? It was actually pretty good, though would be better without the wording.

Big fan, especially since they're not the flagship. Own the e pluribus unum nature of the team.

Hell, I don't know anything about Nevada football other than Jay Norvell is their HC.

I guess Vandy's new helmets are meant to look like battleship plating...or something. Uniforms look pretty good, but no gold pants to match? It's a school color.

Why specific uniforms for the Northwestern-Wisky game, and then, why those pseudo-throwbacks?  Is there a special significance to that game?  Is it it the battle for Paul Bunyan's Ox's Foreskin?

All three seem to be attractive and in school colors. Nice work UA.

If they're going to wear throwbacks, why not actually where the helmet that matches the pants?  I hate Notre Dame's gaudy, overly shiny helmet they started wearing a few years ago.

It does look awesome!  Neat idea for sure.  ISU has the largest student body in the state and also has the highest Iowan student enrollment.  Most come from the upper midwest with some Texas, Florida and California mixed in for football skill players.

UA makes great uniforms, except when they try to be intentionally hideous (eg Maryland).

[Murfdogg21 4413]

We were all so stoked to be moving from Reebok to Nike around 1999 or 2000, but I keep hoping we switch to UA every time the contract comes up. Very tired of Nike, their interpretations of throwbacks and alternates, and their prices.

That's not really a problem for us, though, is it?

And I think Nike makes the best quality apparel out of the three so I personally hope we keep them.

Do they have to wear these as part of the Larry Nassar settlement?

agree.  If any of you went to the game at ND and saw their UA branded fan gear compared to the absolute shit NIke and We Are TExas offer for us, you'd be praying we open up the apparel contract next time it comes up.  The fact that we didn't open it up for bidding and simply re-upped with Nike was one of the laziest and frankly derelict of duty things we have done in a while.  I realize we didn't have a real AD then, but good lord.  Not like we don't have a whole line up of alumns who could have happily taken the project on for the University, and negotiated a much much much better deal than what we got.  Now that both Adidas and UA are actually making more traditional uniforms we need to open that thing upfor bidding when it comes due.  Hell, Nike can't even get our damn color right.  On a positive note, our baseball uniforms this past season were absolutely perfect.

no shit.  our uniforms now look like a freaking nascar hood.  longhorn logo, B12 logo, Nike Logo, "TEXAS", and now a 150 patch.  Geezus.  Take all that shit off.

@Murfdogg21- I’m def not dogging on you, but if Texas ever moves to UA, then they’ve officially become irrelevant.

UA’s business is way off. They’ve posted negative year over year results for the past 4yrs. Now, they are expecting to posts modest 1%-3% gain by EOY’19. However, this is mostly a result of their drive to cut big expenses- ie: exorbitant Athlete & Team/School endorsements.  So, it’s highly unlikely they’d step up to match a 15yr/$250M deal.

Why? They’ve simply relied too much on their “tech” factor.  IOW, they’ve got zero street cred. Period.  No one over the age of 11 or under the age of 40 wears their stuff to be cool.  And in recruiting, that’s obviously a HUGE factor (See ou’s begging Nike to hop on the Jordan train)

UA’s apparel is decent, but their footwear is crap. And with a university like Texas looking for a complete 360 degree deal; meaning all sports/all equipment, head to toe, must work...only one other brand can do that. 

That other brand is Adi.  And that ain’t happening with a&m being one of their “flagship” universities.  No way in hell CDC acquiesces to that level just out of pure spite. Plus, they’d lose the “KD” tie-in.

By the way, speaking of aggy, the only reason they aren’t a Nike school is because they told Nike that they wanted “the same deal as Texas”.  Nike told them, “Yeah, no...Y’all aren’t Texas”.

Completely agree, but if CDC told Nike to take all that shit off, i imagine they would (?)...

Is that Applewhite next to DKR?  If so, dude's a warlock.  Also, pretty sure #18 was the inspiration for the Scott Bakula character in Unnecessary Roughness.

I have a game-worn sideline jacket (pull over) worn by Lou Holtz, while he was at Norte Dame, b/t ‘88 and ‘89. Any value in that item?
It was donated by his sister at a donation event in Houston, almost 20 years ago. My Dad bought the silent auction item. “Holtz” is hand written on the tag (collar) and is like a medium, because he isn’t a large man.

Three-fiddy? Probably only to a ND die hard
