Dr Z Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I thought of these silly "new uniform" threads while watching the Oregon/Arizona game.Oregon uniforms are C-R-A-P !!! The names on the back are in white on a white jersey.The numbers look like somebody used duct tape to make them. They looked horrible.The current Zips gear is 100 times better. We have WAY better things to worry about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 You mean like the brand-new home uniforms that we got at the beginning of this past season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaycevs Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 The new ones are not good, too much white on the sides, I dont like the team name on the front either. Oregon's are sweet, especially the all black with silver letters and the carbon fiber helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyzip84 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I realize that many new coaches like to change the uni too, but I'd rather the Zips stay the course in this area. I like our uniform. I also think that it's a red flag for a losing program when you see them change unis every 4 or 5 years. There is never any time for a visual identity to gain any traction. Leave em alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottditzen Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I'm not renewing season tickets unless we get:1. Flying A circa 1991 on one side of helmet2. Script "Zips" on the other side3. Pants that feature a logo of the polymer building on the thighsThese are my demands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have about fifteen, including at least four different helmets. A huge expense, until you understand that this is being underwritten by the Great God Nike. Probably a generation gap here, as I (a Boomer) hate those uniforms, while my football-playing son loves them. Uniforms might have a slight impact on potential recruits if they think they're COOL.

That is completely and utterly PIMPTASTIC in every way. I do sorta kinda wish that UA had players' names on their jerseys. I know why they don't, but in a thread about uni wishes, that's mine.

xu9697 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 What is our contract with Adidas? I know sometimes a new coach brings along a new brand, but I have to believe more often that is a coincidence.Anywho, seems that if we could, it would be nice to sport the first "L23" football unis in college football.Though I liked the new home uniforms, I think it was total bush league/Division 1-AA or LOWER esque to only have new home uniforms. I have never heard of ANY school doing that.I would still love to see a more traditional style with a bit of "new age" flair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The names on the back are in white on a white jersey.The numbers were shiny gray. At first I thought it was a prank and they used duct tape to make them. Not a fan of them at all.If I lined up against any of them I would make fun of those girly uniforms all day long.The current Zips uniforms are way better.

HOWEVER, a kid might have some interest to see/investigate that school b/c of the uniform. Kid that grows up watching the tradtional unis of an OSU, PSU, UM, Georgia, Tennessee, etc. Or the kid that likes the "new age" look of Oregon, Boise, et. Uniforms represent, at least partially, the image of the team, which can transcend to the coach, school, etc. Having a recognizable brand is big in drawing interest and uniforms are a huge part of that brand.At least Oregon teases the fans with the names on the back. I hate that we don't do it. Screw this team unity thing having ANYTHING to do with names on the back. If you want to get fans familiar with players, build fan interest, etc., it helps to have the names on the uniforms. And, to be brutally honest, if part of what a kid wants to see is his name on the back of a uniform, good for him. He has earned it. Why put even 1 recruit and fans that follow the game at a disadvantage by NOT having the name on the jersey. Sorry, we are not the NY Yankees or Notre Dame football.

Sorry, we are not the NY Yankees or Notre Dame football.Now we're getting somewhat relevant. Uniforms are important. A "sweet" looking uniform will draw a kid's attention to a school (again I'm basing this on my 18 year-old's opinion). Therefore, it should be given some thought. After all, why do the Zips and other MAC schools play on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights (besides the $$$)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, put the names on the back. Better for the fans & players. Going out of your way to not put them on, makes the coach seem like he is doing something he is not. PS There is no difference between no names on the back and what Oregon does. You CAN'T see them. PSS The name thing is a much more interesting subject than if the uniforms look cute on the players or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xu9697 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Say what you want about Oregon and Boise State, but their "gimmicks" have been part of what has brought them attention and, in some ways, led to their success.Smurf Turf in BoiseRidiculous, (like them or not), obscene # of combinations, and ever-changing (even DURING the game) uniforms for Oregon.Gold turf, pink uniforms. That will win us championships. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Z Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Nice panties on the OSU players. The look is better at Hooters.The Oregon baseball player with the yellow "O" on his chest is just ridiculous. Looks like he plays for team Cheerio.Girls should stick to designing dresses, not sports uniforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippyrifle32 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 I don't care too much for the big "O" either, but the fight song pinstripes are original and bad ass.here's one close up I found.
