Opinions on the Tribute Uniforms

[CookyPuss]

With the game underway, I don't even notice them. I know who the good guys are and who the bad guys are. That's all that matters.

That's true. I am so conditioned to rooting against scUM that it wouldn't matter if they were wearing green tu-tu's.

Please keep the socks, they're beautiful. Also like the dark grey that was used on the pants, hopefully they can incorporate that with a deeper scarlet stripe next year.

Everything else was nice, for a one-off ensemble.

Voted OK, but shouldn't be used in The Game. The uniforms themselves aren't a big deal to me as a one shot deal, but for OSU/U-M I want to see the silver helmets completely covered in Buckeye Leaves.

I'd have been happier seeing the throwbacks in the Navy or Toledo games.

Just saw a video of the FSU unis and they looked damn good. I thought they were going to wear them for the Florida game?

I think everyone is wearing them this weekend...

Undefeated in them. Good enough for me.

It would be one thing if it had been a real throwback with as much historical accuracy as possible (no loose sleeves to grab) and a real tribute to something specific and important, but this was entirely driven by marketing. They didn't even really try to make it a meaningful gesture of some sort. Blech. I want the team to look like the team, especially for the biggest game of the year. Nothing more than a distraction the way it was handled.

It was the fan's who made this a distraction, not Nike or the university.

Btw, I loved the uniforms.

Because you're a woman, you have every right to take issue with the fashion aspect of the uniforms.

Only because you're a woman. :)

Not a fan... Moving on. You want to design a tribute/throwback, do it accurately. Nuff said.

Yes, because the fans chose to radically change the uniform in someone else stadium for The Game. The fans chose the laughable lie that this was done as anything other than an advertisement for Nike.

Their goal was to sell gear, Nike Pro Combat technology and alternate jerseys. They caused the uproar, and profited handsomely from those that loved it.

Btw, I loved the uniforms.

They weren't bad, but they were an ill-timed stunt built around a poor-constructed farce.

You'll notice I only commented AFTER the game.

Go make me a sammich. :p
