Isn’t UCF considered a low-rent commuter school with a huge ass enrollment? 

Basically UTSA?

I think I was told sometime that they had greatly increased traditional students in on campus housing.

I swear it was actually red for some reason.
The endzones have looked red on TV for years. They look completely different in person.

I only hated when they threw in grey and when they used the horrid sheriff badge helmet with a bunch of nonsense in the background. I also hated the oversized Pete head and am glad that I rarely see it anywhere else either. Regardless, everything we've worn since 2005 had been a monumental upgrade over these abortions which we hatefully referred to as the "digital clock" era.

These were the fucking worst. I think maybe they changed my senior year, but not positive.

I learned long ago that our particular orange is just (for whatever reason) one of those colors that can look almost totally different in different lighting conditions, whether or not you are watching live or on TV, hell it even looks different from network to network.

Plus two different people can look at it and see something different. I don’t know why.

What in the fuck do they have to do with space or NASA?

They started as Florida Tech or something like that in the 1960s, to provide engineering talent to the space industry. They now have an enrollment similar to A&M.

UT-Dallas has a similar history. UTD started as a grad school to create talent for TI and the DFW tech industry.

Also, whoever let those clowns on the deck of their yacht with cleats on needs to be beaten with a rubber hose.

I think all orange shades are like that, just a weird part of the color spectrum. Our orange can sometimes look more reddish and sometimes more yellowish, but it's always the same orange. We use a very specific pantone that is the same everywhere, just susceptible to looking different based on conditions. UT orange can sometimes look more brown than burnt orange, especially when the jerseys get sweaty.

That's why DKR chose our Texas shade of orange in the first place. Hides the ball well in a Wishbone offense.

My five year old son when we turned on Monday night football last night.

What are the cowboys wearing? That is stupid.

For a team with a very simple, iconic logo and color scheme, the Cowboys are very good at finding ways to mess it up.

All gas, no brakes with these uniforms! ⛽️

CDC shitting on orange pants on the timeline this morning.

I prefer the "stormtrooper" nomenclature over "icy whites".

"Icy whites" seems like a term for teams where the all white look is a novelty, not the road uniform they have had for decades.

👀😍 Western Kentucky will feature 7 versions of “Big Red” on its helmet Tuesday vs. Liberty. Each position group will wear different helmet decal 👀

Bruins are going to wear these throwback unis on Saturday.  I'll be there.  These look fire.

To me, it's not a throwback if your school literally changed names

#4233

There but for the grace of God, but if I’d gone to school there, I would want a shirt that said Southwest Texas State Normal School on it. The ultimate throwback.

The Jumpman logo looks silly on football uniforms.

Otherwise... meh.

Maybe the University of Tulsa could wear throwbacks to the Presbyterian School for Indian Girls. Of course that was only for two years and I don’t think those girls played football. These Henry Kendall College throwbacks might be cool though.

Incorrect. NC State's wolf wears a navy hat. Nevada's is a more respectable chap.

I'm actually not a huge fan of the sailor hat logos. Wherever they came from they did it for a ton of schools and isn't all that special. I do like it as a throwback logo and for the few schools like NCST that held on to it this long.

That's just because your Pistol Pete doesn't wear a nifty sailor hat.

I think someone posted before how the logos from that era were all sort of a template that was duplicated. Baylor's bear with the hat was the same as UCLA and Cincinnati's. The LSU tiger was the same as the Mizzou tiger/Auburn, etc.

Always enjoyed seeing the variations of the classic Sailor Hat logos. Believe it all started with Occidental & still see them today with UNC, NC State, Nevada, Auburn, LSU, BYU, Cal, more. Still missing some. #VintageLogos

But the top hat really sells it for me.

It's a fun backstory - sadly the links in this Reddit post all broke, but here's the Cliff Notes:

Quote

They were done by the same guy: Arthur Evans, to help sell car tire covers. As others have mentioned, it's not a sailors hat but a hat typically worn by freshmen at the time.

He was a former Disney employee who made a name for himself with the Angelus Pacific Co. of Fullerton, CA. Well… sort of. It has been said that he is the most prolific illustrator no one has ever heard of. By 1963, he had penned over 100 logos that spanned many of the biggest name programs in the country. in fact, Angelus Pacific claims to be responsible for designing over 90 percent of college mascots being used at the time.
