Not a thing. clonesjer has been pushing those uniforms as a joke for awhile. He's not joking about loving the tertiary blue, unfortunately. There is a weird faction of fans (usually younger or newcomers to the fanbase) that love the gear from that era. I actually like the McCarney-Davis-Doxson era uniforms because the blue isn't a huge part of the jersey. It's mostly just the socks, trim, and the logo on the helmet.

But the fan gear from that era is ugly.

It's about time the Jaybirds received the black uniform treatment from us and I'll be pissed if we wear anything else for a night game in November.

Also pretty interesting, IMO.

I don't know why people are so quick to puke or dislike something like this. I applaud the effort. Sometimes that's how you stumble upon ideas that might actually work or evolve into something else. It's creative.

OK, dislike the blue, if it is blue. Let's say it is black. You might still dislike it. I'm not saying I like this over our current black unis. Our current black unis may be needing a redesign sometime soon, I don't know. And I'm not saying something like this is a better alternative. Half our fans might like something similar to this, in black, half would prefer the current black set.

I would like to see the 2 logos here in greater detail. Very unique design.

Love the idea of Black Uni’s including this Saturday.

but don’t agree to wear them when the team we are playing has Black as a primary color.

How do you feel about wearing Cardinal, against Oklahoma, TT, Cincy, Houston etc.?

Or wearing gold against Iowa, WVU, Baylor etc.?

The black uniforms should be reserved for big night games. Don't use them for kickoffs earlier than 6:00 and don't use them for a 3-5 vs. 2-6 game if we have one of those, or for a G5 or FCS opponent.

The Kansas game checks the boxes for black uniforms and so I support it
