June 21Jun 21 As long as the home color palette is limited to burnt orange and white, and there are no deviations from the basics (block Texas, simple longhorn logo, etc.) I don't get too bent out of shape. I always prefer stormtrooper whites on the road, no changes. Whoever came up with that cowhide idea needs to be tarred and feathered.

June 23Jun 23 "New" generic Nike template threads for UH. I do like how they've given the Adams family the finger with the Luv Ya Blue ensemble, though.
June 23Jun 23 I think the Coogs would be smart to just lean into the Oiler blue full time. I think it would help them with some casuals around town (assuming such a person exists).

They'll tune into UH for hoops, though. Front-runners

June 24Jun 24 When was the last time a college completely changed color schemes? I think I remember Colorado wearing throwbacks a few years ago with powder blue so they made a big change at some point. UH should change their official colors to powder blue and red. Addams family can go fuck themselves. You can’t claim colors and prevent others from using them entirely. If it’s their full time colors no argument that the limited use is for using the Oilers brand for profit. It would be their own permanent color scheme.

May 28, 1981—Blue officially adopted as the primary uniform color in place of black after a Board of Regents mandate at its January meet ing. Originally suggested to be “the deep blue Colorado of Colorado’s sky at 9,000 feet” by then-Regent Jack Anderson, jerseys were official ly an “Air Force Blue” though different than the blue the Air Force Academy’s sports teams wore. Numerals were silver or yellow-gold, depending on the sport, and outlined in white. The football pant remained gold, but with a blue stripe, for both home and road. Football helmets remained gold but with blue logos. Other programs switched to blue, ranging from road basketball jerseys to golf bags. CU’s trademark south end zone is painted blue, the first color change since it was created after the track was removed in 1966. 1984—The colors are altered slightly, as the blue is enhanced to a darker hue; football goes with gold, borderless numbers and com plaints rain in from many, as players can’t be identified from stands. Black and white photos and game films appear as if players wore no numbers at all. Bill McCartney had the football team twice wear black jerseys (against Oklahoma and Nebraska) in a similar way that Notre Dame broke out its green jersey for big games. April 24, 1985—“Black is Back” read the release announcing that ath letic director Bill Marolt would allow head coaches of all CU sports teams (then 14 in number) the option of returning to black as the pri mary jersey color. McCartney’s throwback efforts the previous season were the impetus for the change; the football jersey had a blue stripe on the arm for the 1985, 1986 and 1987 seasons before it was dropped altogether in 1988. December 30, 1985—A standard in basketball, the football jersey has COLORADO emblazoned across the front for the first time for the Freedom Bowl versus Washington. November 28, 1987—Football wears all black for the first time in a 24 7 loss to Nebraska. 1988—Football switches to the black pant for road games. It remains standard for well over a decade, until the 2000 team wears white for a road game at Southern California.

June 24Jun 24 Those are nice. Happened last year, but love the football team ditching the generic 90s eagle and going for the retro logo as the primary.

June 24Jun 24 That's because it's just about impossible to find a consistent gold from helmet to jersey to pants. We just went from a more mustard-ish gold to a shinier version and it looks so much better.

I have friends coming into town later this afternoon that I want to have some beers with, and if I didn't work out at 4AM I wasn't going to work out today. I also have a 2 year old that is in constant motion when she's awake, so the wife and I have worked out a schedule where I get up early and work out in the morning (while kid is still sleeping) and she can work out after work since I take the kid.

We just went from a more mustard-ish gold to a shinier version and it looks so much better. The mismatch between helmets and pants is a separate issue, but it's also one that is often exacerbated by the fact that helmets are still shiny, while pants rarely have a shiny fabric anymore - hence why they look tan instead of old gold, for example. For example, see below. Early 2000's on top, 2020 on bottom. Sure, the gold doesn't match from helmet to pants, but at least in the first one they both looks like shades of gold, as opposed to the bottom, where the pants look like faded piss.

July 1Jul 1 The color combo sounded hideous, then the picture is indeed terrible on the helmet, but I don't hate the orange jersey with yellow letters. Kind of surprised how well that combo works.
