We're Doooooooooomed!
I don't think I'm being overly dramatic at all. The new jerseys look like nebraska jerseys with black stripes added. Ugly. The jerseys in the 80s were ugly as well. It's a complete downgrade as far as quality goes. The matte pants are just going to make it worse, since they also look white on my TV. Most people I know consider our 1989-2005 uniforms to be one of the best looking uniforms in college football. I realize that these new ones do not approach the level of ugliness exhibited by Oregon or Miami uniforms, but I just don't understand why anyone thought this was a good idea. I mean, were recruits saying "Gee, I sure would like to play at Ohio State, but their uniforms look too good." Throwback unis are not always a good idea - Imagine the Kansas City Royals going back to their powder blue, early 1980s duds.
