I all for new, but I'm surprised they are going away from NB just two years after they redesigned the new look.
I was against the switch back to the traditional colors in the beginning, mainly because I thought our road football jerseys looked SO SWEET (ones with the brown pants, white tops, and gold swipe down the side). Man those were tight unis, and people nationally thought so too. I remember a game that was on CSTV or something, and the announcer just kept going on and on about how good our road jerseys looked.
But with the exception of loosing those, I like the switch back. They are so old school, which is cool, and the gold basketball jerseys are tight. I also like the brown b-ball set as well.
All that said, I don't like what they did with the football jerseys, NB that is. The brown rectangle thing down the pants looks retarded, mainly because its a rectangle, but also because it doesn't extend up the jersey in any fashion. Nike will without a doubt design something more sleek. I would be totally pleased with the following:
Obviously, our base home set has to be Brown over Gold, but they should also include the following alternates. (And yes, Wyoming should and will have alternates. If they don't wear them, blame it on the conservative brass in the department, because Nike PAYS for this whole thing. It is marketing for them, schools don't pay for their jerseys, even smaller schools. Heck, even some high schools get comped sets I think if they are big enough)
-- An all brown set is sweet if you ask me.
-- I thought all gold would look sweet, until I saw it in action last fall. Maybe leave that one out.
-- I don't like all white or white over gold for roads, but Im not sure where else to go. One option might be a white top with gold or brown accents on it, and then accented pants with both colors as well. I don't know.
The only thing I know for sure? NO MATTER WHAT NIKE DRAWS UP, EA SPORTS WILL GET IT TOTALLY WRONG IN NCAA FOOTBALL 2010. I wouldn't be surprised if our colors are black and red in the game this year. The fact that there are actually game designers making six figures working on that game baffles me every year!
