Just admit you wanted to keep cheering for the Cowboys. It's ok, no one else cares.

Lol fuck no. The extent of my NFL fandom has always started and ended on former Longhorn players, and not always necessarily the teams they play for.

I dig the idea of the red horn helmets but the color combo + the vent slots on the helmet makes it hard to see at first glance. Maybe adjust the colors so the design pops out there.

They need that red jersey in case they play at Jacksonville or Miami in September and the home team opts for white, since the other two jerseys are damn near black now.

Exactly. HTown kid coming off of winning at the highest level previously. The Texans needed something to get people excited, but chose Mario fucking Williams instead. 

I know he wasn't going to have some Tom Brady esque career playing under Jeff fucking Fisher. 

If Vincent had come to the city where he grew up and all his homies lived his career wouldn’t have lasted as long as it did. Vince had/has some personal demons, Jeff Fisher wasn’t 100% responsible for what happened to him…

Oh, and one other thing the Broncos fucked up worse than their uniforms is their QB depth chart.  

Jarrett Stidham, Zach Wilson, Ben DiNucci.

Props to Cougar High. Stick it to Amy Adams Strunk. Fuck her and fuck the Titans.

Ridiculous to act like a team can own a color combination.

Hey now:

 

Some mild tweaks to ours (shoulder stripes, and using white on the jerseys) that I think improve them.

Here's a suggestion for the new shoulder area look for cyclones jerseys... 😋

It's been a year or so since I mentioned it but ISU needs to fully embrace the late 90s and early 00s as an institution. Whirly Bird is the answer every time.

I hate those things.  We were always rated "worst uniforms in college football" in those days.  The whirly bird was busy as hell, and the blue accents were dog shit.

As a late 90s kid, ISU set all of the fashion trends for young B12 fans.

We (Central and Coastal Texas friend group all born somewhere between 85-91) all really liked what ISU, oSu, and New Mexico were doing back then. Basically, hopping on that Carolina Panthers/Jacksonville Jaguar train of a "fast" looking logo.

Yeah those were the absolute worst football teams Baylor ever fielded but the uniforms were simple and clean. I like them much more than the yellow stuff we throw out there today.

UH has a pretty decent law school. If adams sues, I'd assign the case to a clinic group and give them class credit for their work.

UH taking the position that it’s H-town blue and was used in Houston in the 50’s before the AFL was in place. They are using the scheme and colors for all them sports teams not just football. And it’s a slight Pantone away from the oilers blue.

If UH can somehow get the civil trial in front of a jury of Houstonians, Amy Adams may get the death penalty.

I always find it hilarious that, somewhere in administration, there was a series of meetings and lots of money exchanged and people actually thought shit like that was a good idea.

Agreed. The rams look like they gave a 6th grader a laptop with power point and told him he had 10 minutes to finish the design. Extra fruit roll-ups if he worked in that fancy gradient effect.

It was only worn once - a loss to Texas in Jack Trice on a Thursday, where it was paired with these awful charcoal grey alts we were using.

The uniform I posted up thread is light years better than this shit.  The grey alts only came close to working one time, and that was when we paired them with white jerseys and helmets in Stillwater the year before.

When I was in school we had a school president who wanted to completely erase the interlocking BU logo - the only primary athletic logo the school had ever used - and instead simply write out "Baylor" everywhere the logo should be, including football helmets. He was worried about branding and that too many people would see the BU and confuse us with Boston University. Revolt ensued, never happened. 

We must have been there around the same time.

IIRC, that was Herman.  People were making a big deal about him coming back to Ames (he was OC here under Paul Rhoads).

Our QB was stoned to the gills during the game.  Campbell knew it.  We had a 10 day lay off before heading to Norman as a 30 point underdog.  Campbell benched the idiot starter, put the 3rd stringer in, and the rest is history.

You are correct. We were 1-2 going into it, so still pretty grim for Texas fans.

I don't believe you about this pillar of the community being stoned, though

That guy legit had the best arm talent I've ever seen in Ames.  $.10 brain, unfortunately.  Fairly mobile too.

I'm usually not a fan of all black uniforms unless it's like this and there's a tie to the university or state.

 

Support the coal miners. Nice add is the uni’s “reflective tape” that will shine under the lights. Nice touch - IMO.

Hook’em!!!

Agreed.  Well done monochromatic look, and the mining history tie-in makes it work better for them than most.

Instead of fog machine for the intro, they can just blast crystalline silica dust in honor of all the dead/dying/destroyed lungs of coal miners.
