Uniform Pron

After seeing the white cleats with the home unis return towards the end of last season, I can safely say that I prefer them to the blacks. They give the whole uniform a cleaner look that really helps showcase our two colors.

My big problem with the black cleats is that we always pair them with black socks, which is leads to there being too much of an imbalance of color across the home set. IMO it wouldn't be as noticeable if we wore them with white socks, like many of the other blue bloods do (Penn State, USC, Bama).

Think it would also be cool if we could wore certain cleat colors for big games, kind of like how Clemson wears orange pants when they play for championships.

I tend to agree. although the pic I chose shows knee length socks, I think the black socks look best when they stay below the calf. at that point however the length is a player preference, and it might amount to a cleaner overall team look if we went with white socks and black cleats.

Old man rant:   Please stop playing football in shorts!!!!  That shit is starting to bleed over to baseball now too.  Football and Baseball are meant to be played while wearing pants!  

 

Well, except for this...  

 

Maybe that should be the rule - hey punter, you don't want your pants to cover your knees, here's some hot pants to wear.    </end rant>

I’ve thought a unique scheme would be to do burnt orange with no Texas and no names on the back at home, all whites with Texas on the front and names on the back on the road.

I like that idea. as great as our stormtroopers are, the home jerseys are the iconic look which anyone can look at & say that's Texas without having to even see the logo or read the jersey. The away look features our signature color much less prominently, and personally I think the "TEXAS" on the chest looks great as well as making it more identifiable. the suits we brought out for Baylor last year were clean, we can all agree on that, but for week-in week-out play, I think we'd be better off with "TEXAS" on there for away games.

I like the Orange top/White pants/Black socks home look. I think it just looks right. Don't know how else to explain it.

No "Texas" on either uniform imo. We're the only team that wears stormtroopers with orange (unless Tennessee decides to do a ripoff alternate). I think it's fine info-wise, and looks better visually.

Columbia going with 60s throwbacks instead of their usual overdesigned not-school-colors pieces of shit. It's like being light blue Texas Tech/Okie State with the uniform fuckery.

I don’t know that CDC said they’re “getting new uni’s”, he did however mention something to the effect of “having something in store for you”.  I read “you” as us, the fans.

I think it was on the CDC thread…

While CDC did outright say that we'll be getting new uniforms 2022, he didn't really elaborate as to what extent they'll be "new". Some have speculated that we'll see a more "burnt" shade of orange on the jerseys or that the actual makeup of the jerseys will change, but nothing is for sure. It could also just mean that we'll be upgrading to the new Vapor Fusion uniform template (the one Oregon has been wearing), with little to no change to the actual details of the jersey.

Yep, that’s it.

I could see where one could interpret that as “Texas is getting new uni’s” next season”, but with as many times as CDC has replied with “why mess with perfection, my friend” in response to a some dude on Twitter asking about a black, gray or color-rush option (🙄), I find it really hard to think they’re getting a third option.  
Perhaps he’s talking about throw back uni’s.  I’d love that.

CDC told Nike, “fuck it. We don’t need your Vapor Fusion/ we’re going back to tear-aways. Bijan’s going to rush for 500yards…in one game.😁🤘🏻

I don't think it means a third option at all. It could mean a redesign, though (within historical parameters, obviously - things like sleeve vs. shoulder numbers, TEXAS or not, Longhorn collar logo, Longhorn vs. stripes on pants, etc. - the sorts of minor tweaks we have made over the years).

Yeah they stink. They should try to leave the Big Sky for the WAC which is nothing special in football outside Sam Houston, but the WAC may have ambition of going back to FBS.

Probably not a popular opinion: I like the old-school mascots on merch but not on uniforms. Baylor should always wear these:

Mid-70s to mid-90s was peak uniform era.  Not all of the, were great but it was hard to find really bad ones. There’s one template and team that I blame for messing things up and that’s this. Which is in every way worse than what came before but no one seemed to call it out at the time.

Counterpoint: The Broncos did this better than so many that followed them, but a lot of the elements that are terrible popped up here, executed about as well as can be done with them.

1. Small word marks and logos on the chest. Look at that picture, you have to squint to make out Broncos. Word marks on the chest should be either absent or easily readable from say, the first couple of rows of seats at a stadium. See the Baylor example I posted. 
 

2. Redesigned CG logos and mascots to look “fierce” and to look simple bit really not be. Good logos should be fairly easy to reproduce freehand by a non-artist in a few seconds: Longhorns, Cowboys, Clemson, the old Tech double T without bevels, etc.

3. Dumping bright, fun colors for a more “intimidating” darker version and diving into colors that don’t come in the standard Crayola box, so you get a bunch of muddiness. Teams dropped great Royal blues for Navy, Kelly greens for ever darker greens,   silvers for gray, etc.

4. Futzing with fonts and numbers and in the process making things less legible.

5. Putting swoops and go-fast stripes in weird places, making them pointy, etc. 

You can get away with breaking a few of these but as you start piling them up, things get worse. That redesign template was also EVERYWHERE from NFL to high school, and it was in every way worse than what came before:
