I remember when I played football. All of the linemen had black shoes with black cleats. Does that date me?

I was in HS when Marshall Faulk was in college so I copied his all black shoes and full length black socks. Even sharpied out the white swoosh on the shoes. In retrospect not a good look, but felt pretty cool at the time.

I wore silver cleats as a sophomore in high school for soccer, which was pre-Chizik timeline, clearly ahead of my time in cleat fashion.
 
I didn't like them right away, but now I love them! I started using them in NCAA football as well.
 
I have always liked the all black accessories. Just a nice clean look overall in my opinion. White does make you look faster though. Believe me I needed every advantage I could get in the speed department!
 
Back in the day I was rocking a pair of these spikes on the track.

You'd better be fast if you wear something this loud (for it's day). I backed it up at districts but definitely not at state.
 
That's what I took from them. Kind of a hard-nosed, old school look. Doesn't work when you're getting pushed around the field.

White doesn't work either if you're clearly much slower than the other team.

I vote blaze orange so players can avoid running into one another.

Congrats to the OP for posting a uniform-related thread that didn't blow up in an hour. That's ******* impressive.

I'm not a big uniform guy, but I did think our uniforms at TCU looked a little off. I think it was the white socks and black cleats with the red pants.

Nobody really cares about what color cleats Iowa State wears...and if they do then I want their life because they must have no actual problems going on.

Well, you're clearly wrong, and I gotta say, things aren't bad right now.
