I do not choose to discuss it
That pattern on the shoulder is rediculous ugly, it's like they're not even trying to make things look good, either that or they think it looks good on a piece of paper and they never bother to test it out on some shoulder pads before making the unis.

I believe I posted it somewhere, but I can't find it either. 
How does the richest uniform company consistently make such horrendous designs?
This time they didn't just make an ugly design, but they called their players sexuality into question with almost a sports bra (or "bro") across the chest.

Maybe it's one of those things where you can't make waves unless you rock the boat. And if you aren't making waves, how can you be sure you're doing anything? Whoever is making these designs for Nike doesn't think he's making his footprint on college football unless he's "shaking things up." It's easier to "shake things up" by making what most people think are ugly uniforms than by making more traditional uniforms, like the rest of the uniforms in the country are.

The first thing I noticed as soon as I saw the picture was the Bra thing.
If you notice in general with most of these crazy designs it is the schools that do not have a "history" in college football. In othe words I would never see a Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, USC, Oklahoma etc ever doing major changes like this. Yes strips may change etc, but never will see any of these crazy designs.

Just out of curiosity, when do you consider Ohio State's "history" in college football to have begun? If I'm remembering my history (and, if you've read the buckeye leaves thread the past few days, we can all agree that I'm NOT), Ohio State changed their uniforms less than 40 years ago. 40 years is a long time to some programs, but not compared to the 100+ years of Ohio State football. Of course, maybe 40 years with one uniform style is a pretty good set of roots in that tradition.
So I don't know. I'd like to believe that Ohio State will keep the same basic uniform forever. But you never know for sure.

Taking Crazy Pills
Uni's change at tOSU.. it wasn't 40+ years.. the ones we have now were used during Chris Carters era which was not 40 years ago.. and there are minor changes year to year it seems.. number size, silver fleck, materials, etc. Not knocking but i'm kind of tired of people bitching about colors and tradition when most the people doing so don't know the half (not talking about anyone on this board)Zurp;858504; said:

That is what I was trying to say....uniforms evolve over time. Alot of those changes sometimes come with safety or technology changes. But I douby someone like Ohio State, Penn State or Okalhoma is going to add the Man Bra that is pictured above.

Eric Lacy's Top 5
Top football uniforms stand the test of time
Eric Lacy / The Detroit News
The top five most identifiable uniforms in college football:
* Alabama: Numbers on the helmets say it all. Sure does make it easy for fans to find their favorite player on the field. This school exudes tradition, just like every other one on this list. These uniforms haven't been changed much since the days of Paul "Bear" Bryant. There's something to be said about honoring history and those that came before you, concepts that folks at this university embrace.
* Notre Dame: The "golden domers" also love to embrace their past, and it's a tradition on campus that the helmets are painted on Monday evening following every game. Notre Dame wears navy jerseys at home and white on the road. But every now and then, for a little luck of the Irish, they'll break out the green jerseys for special occasions at Notre Dame Stadium.
* Southern California: The "Spirit of Troy" logo has withstood the test of time because it still looks cool and is associated with success. The yellow of USC is striking, especially the stripes on the arms, and the maroon is the staple color that's been associated with so many great football players.
* Michigan: In some ways, the Wolverines' look is pretty basic -- blue jerseys at home and stripeless pants. But the helmet truly adds to the ensemble with the wings and three stripes. Too many recruits to count have said they picked Michigan because of the helmets.
* Ohio State: Another signature helmet that's simple, yet very sophisticated -- silver with the scarlet-white-black striping down the middle. But what makes this helmet truly distinctive are the buckeye stickers for team and individual accomplishments.
