Get used to what?

Generic, shitty, black & white uniforms? Or athletic departments selling out to the highest bidder?

I think he's referring to corporate logos all over the field.

Nice, classic. Whoever their creative director for cfb is has finally started unfucking all of their "trendy" bullshit for the Miamis and Louisvilles of the world, too.

Look good to me too and am glad that many are going back to traditional looks. It's kind of odd to me that the do these big reveals to simply show "hey we look normal again, how about that?!?"

The latter.  Not like it hasn’t been going on for years

lolwut?  What bidding process do you think happened here?

adidas winning Tech's athletic apparel contract? That usually entails competition.

Although I think Under Armour was eager to get out of their contract in this particular case. Kinda like UCLA, only a much smaller deal.

Indeed

Any news on Yormark still pursuing a corporate sponsor/re-branding deal for the Big 12? I sincerely hope he pulls it off. The Allstate Conference!

The 2 bolded parts are in opposition. UA has no money to spend and Nike has no interest in adding a 7th team in Texas.  There was zero competition involved in Mahomes making sure his school was taken care of.

How do you know? Are you a Tech insider?

Maybe another smaller brand, like New Balance, made a run at them? Who knows?

Tech knocked it out of the park with these unis. Adidas is light years better than Nike. 

 

These are good.  Tech doesn't need to get cute with their unis.  Black, red and white work. Don't fuck it up.

These are clean.

Love the simple shoulder stripes. I'm only a little surprised adidas doesn't insist on 3 stripes. Not a fan of the all-black, though, even though they've always worn it historically.

These unis are so sweet. I’d love it if UT became an adidas school. Nike is pure garbage now.

Nike's marketing muscle is far beyond what Adidas can do. It goes beyond the actual clothes. It's why the biggest teams all wear Nike or Jordan.

When I am elected El Presidente, my first order of business will be to ban all piping on football uniforms. Wait, that will be my second. First will be to ban black uniforms for any school isn't one of their colors. Third, I will ban any type of horn stripe on helmets.

Amen, brother.

I hate that your school went away from Sparky. The pitchfork helmet is just dumb. Sparky was one of a kind.

These uniforms remind me of the 1991 Cotton Bowl.

I hate 'em.....and The U, but this is how Miami is supposed to look. They'll have an unnecessary black ensemble, too.

I was a little inclined to comment on everyone using script helmets devaluing the coolness, but no, they are all sharp as hell. Boise doing one too now.

Meh

The cursive script is too pervasive in both high school and CFB now, IMO. If you've got a recognizable logo, stick with it.

Looks like they've generally simplified things (plus the new script helmet). Nice.

Introducing new threads with a video game is now a thing. It's in the game.

 

Eh. Purdue just never looks as good as Colorado does with the same colors.

Colorado's gold on white looks good up close, but the numbers will get washed out at a distance.

Unnecessary imo. 

Yeah, but the kids are really into black for whatever reason. Stick to school colors is what appeals to us olds.

They do sell additional merchandise because of it, though.

Miami's fanbase is full of oily dudes into crypto that will wear those jerseys to games
