I don't really want to see our helmets change much game to game. Keep them orange with the script please.

As for the tops and bottoms, I have always been a fan of keeping them the same color. I like the blue on blues, orange on oranges and white on whites. I absolutely hate the mix of orange and blue top/bottoms. If we can't be the same color top to bottom then it should always be an orange/blue with white.

Don't tell the '84 team that.

I watched those guys and they were AWESOME! However, if you’re going by the record books and the consistent winning that brought home the hardware almost annually, the HBC’s arrival truly marks the beginning of the winning tradition. Prior to SOS, we fell just short of greatness way too often.

I’ve always been a fan of the orange helmets with the script Gators and all blues or all whites for jersey/pants combo.

I've always liked the white pants w/ jersey either Orange or Blue. Or, White Jersey w/ pants either orange or blue.

All Orange or all Blue are OK occasionally.

The best uniform? The one that beats the leg humpers.

I wonder how much money we get for using new unis. I seem to remember some that were thought to improve performance by keeping players cooler.

While I agree beating them is great, the uniform does not do that, the players and somewhat the coaches do.

Not yet the off season and the uniform threads are descending upon us. (Puts on flak vest) Not all the new uniforms are garbage and it is to some extent part of the arms race. Granted Bama doesn't do it but almost everyone else does. I'm partial to our color pairings from the late 60's.

As long as we're winning, I honestly don't give a rat's ass what uniforms we're wearing. I'm not a superstitious guy, nor am I a traditionalist. I get that some people get worked up about uniforms, it just has zero affect on me either way.

The WINNING tradition started in 1990. We should consider that uniform the “traditional uniform.”
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We were loser back when we used to wear orange jerseys and we became losers when we brought em back. We need to ditch em and never look back.

Glad to hear. I’m all for consistency. Branding is muy importante.
There’s a reason they are called uniforms.
In any case I hate all orange. Not a fan of all blue either. And I think they should scrap the white helmets.

Orange helmet, blue jersey and orange pants is my favorite look. Can't say I'm much of a fan of the white helmets or orange jerseys anymore.

Yea...the losing to everyone but North Texas combo you listed is not my thing.


I don’t mind the Orange jerseys myself, but would love to see them with Blue pants. Davis has recruiting pics like this and it looked good.

The all-white combo can go away forever.

You guys talking about issues of style is quite entertaining.

I am an old guy but I would choose the green alligator uniforms for every game as opposed to those all white unis with the white helmets. Those cry out "we are soft and weak".

If you want traditional uniforms...bring back the shiny 1996 NC blue on white or white on blue.

All blue with these helmets would be awesome:

One of those days I agree with Omar. Feels weird. That top one is nice.

That stupid 1980s round emblem needs to go the way of the dodo.

Agree. The top one looks real nice but probably not as nice on top of a jersey the same color. I tried earlier in the day via Google to imagine blue on blue. It led me to Cal and the LA Rams.

Orange just needs to be trim. Too much orange is yucky.
