July 10Jul 10 A nice subtle update from Toledo - looks like a deeper yellow and the school name on the jersey Previous for reference:

July 10Jul 10 Their helmets under Lombardi remain my favorite of theirs, thought it looked great along with their white jersey and yellow pants.

So a Utah helmet with worse colors! Honestly, I just hate when teams use the letter of their nickname vs the letter of the city they're from - they're not representing "Redskins", they're representing Washington.

It's only when the letter is the nickname - the Bengals are the only pro team I can think that does that off the top of my head. The A's sort of do, but they're cool and vintage.

Plus, the Athletics have moved around a lot. Philadelphia -> Kansas City -> Oakland -> Sacramento -> Las Vegas. The A's KC ensembles were their best, IMO, bc they repped their hometown on their caps. Awesome, unique color palette, courtesy of Charles O. Finley.

I've got two beautiful kelly green and gold A's jerseys in my closet that I've barely worn for a couple years. Thanks John Fisher.

July 10Jul 10 Not to derail thread but this is Surly after all, colleges should have school name in EZs and NFL team names.

The A's haven't always been in Oakland, so the nickname letter is a little more consistent. See also: the present.

No one ever referred to the Redskins as the “Rs”. The As is used regularly instead of the Athletics. Edited July 11Jul 11 by jTower Typing is hard
July 14Jul 14 Hmm. My top 5 would be: 1. BYU 2. Arizona State Sparky. Pitchfork helmet goes to the bottom of the Big 12 3. KSU 4. Utah's UU helmet uniform combo 5. CU

Do they just let Adidas do whatever TF they want? At least it isnt Under Armor any longer with their 7V7 style of jerseys.

There are agreed-upon directions, but Tech pretty much wears a different variant/ combo each week. So in other words, the exact opposite of the schools like Texas/PSU/ Bama with the great classics. I hate the gray unis for us. I also hate any red helmet. Some people like em, I do not. IMHO, we should wear Black-red-black for every home game with the all black for a night game or 2. Road games, I like the black helmet with any other combo. I know the players allegedly like the variants. I don't get a vote. The thing I hate is turning on the game and having to figure out which team is Tech. We have a great mascot and outstanding colors. A lot of of the new designs detract from both of those.

As should any other school without great uni tradition. Let the peons have their fun. There is literally zero downside to rolling out insane alts every season, unless they are an actual attempt at great uniforms. I'm not a huge baseball fan, and am certainly not following my local minor league team beyond catching a couple games a season, but I for damn sure have one of these hanging in the closet with the matching hat to boot. Spoiler I'm a big fan of the outlandish alts for no other reason than most CFB unis are shit.

Weird/fun/outlandish/blinding shit >>> boring shit Imo, every year there are ~5 great core unis, ~10 more good ones, and the rest land somewhere between boring and GAH. In a perfect world, every team has a kickass uni that is simple and unique and makes sense without an accompanying handbook written by marketing, but that's not real life. Instead, we just get iterations of this season's Nike template. Mocking the hackery of chokelahoma gray and tech's Texas flag bullshit is most of the fun.

You probably enjoy the parade of abortions that Oregon trots out every year.

Despite their highly visible wrong turns, Oregon has a decent batting average with their uniforms. The helmets with the mirrored wings are cool, they've got some really solid sets in their lineup. These are good, distinctive cfb uniforms - the duckbill orange visor was one of my favorite little touches: Edited July 14Jul 14 by texifornia

A revolving door of gimmicks is far superior to suffering through this and it's inverse 12x annually. Spoiler

July 15Jul 15 San Diego State certainly has unique, logoless helmets. Cool pattern, whatever it's supposed to be. I think it's an Aztec calendar. Edited July 15Jul 15 by DFW Horn
