I love all of them. very clean. Im not sure why people arent pleased with red. I like them the best. Wishe the black had a hint of red....helmet stripe or logo stencil or pant stripe. Im glad they didnt overdo it.

Anyone else get the feeling that these arent the only ones? Jack trice, yellow, etc?

The thing that kind of sucks with the W/Y/W combo is when do you wear it? IMO, it's not bold enough for home uniforms when the visitor is also in whites, and you can't wear it on the road. It is a nice look here though.
You actually can wear it on the road. Both teams are allowed to wear their home uniforms if the colors are different enough to be easily distinguished. Just needs to be agreed upon by the two schools and given the OK by the Big 12.

It would require some strategizing to use at home, It'd work best vs. opponent with dark helmet and pants, preferably school that has no gold in its color scheme. Possible example.

You're devious, Sig. This post couldn't have been more successful, even if you had spelled out in huge letters "Hit agree if you're older than 50."

I liked your Wonder Woman more than your new one.

Anyone else notice the gold stencil logo this morning? I don't think we have seen that before, would assume it would be only for the cardinal helmets.

I still stand by it's pretty safe to assume any uniform with 3 different colors between helmet/jersey/pants is not a good look.

Keeping it to 2/1 will always look better (X/X/Y, X/Y/X, Y/X/X).

Completely agree with this. 3 different color variations just doesn't look right. I like when the helmet and pants match when mixing it up.
Better combos with me when starting with helmet to pants is:
RRB , RWR, RWW, RBR, WWB, WBW, WBB, BRR, BRB, BWW, BWB,

Could look pretty good on the whites, too.

Regardless of what you think about the new jerseys, when you compare them with our past it's not even close. They look modern which is key. It's very hard to make traditional jerseys when we have almost no positive tradition.

My stance on black is the stance that John Walters had at the tailgate tour when asked about the TOE black comparisons. ISU will wear it better than them. Let them keep using old steeler uniforms and play Rolling Stones music in the stadium.

It would be hard to match the red jersey with the black helmet or pants without the collar. For me it's such a small thing that I really don't care. Overall I think they're all better than our clown suit USC unis of the past.
Agree.

We should probably get over the ******** about the black collar on red jersey. I like it so we are going to keep it, ha.

Really it's up to Coach, he likes it so there you have it. And it will tie in to other black combos. We don't really know if we are going to see just a few combos, or a whole bunch. My guess is that it will only be a few. There're are only so many to go around anyway.
