Uniforms?

Exactly!! Always thought the Chiefs, the Cardinals of Jim Hart and Jim Ottis and the 49ers did Red right.
The only guaranteed thing about the new uniforms right now is that someone on this message board will ***** about them next year.
yes. The rumor started from comments made by Flood during one of those diners. But, until we get a press release from Nike talking about how the white pants represent the white horses that knights rode, etc, it is just rumors for now.
The big issue here was money - remember, this was prior to the Big Ten invite, where money was a crucial issue, especially with the press baying about the "subsidy". So there was a completely different dynamic going on as compared to now, when we know we're going to get the full share for a Big Ten member in a couple of years.
Explain to me what money has to do with this? We aren't some youth program having a bake sale to raise funds. We are a Nike school and they provide the uniforms.
Money has nothing to do with this. Nike isn't paying us to wear those uniforms. They are paying us to have the swoosh all over whatever uniforms we wear.
Greg Schiano worked on those uniforms. Nike probably doesn't care what we wear, as long as it has the swoosh.

Yeah, I know...I was agreeing that Schiano designed them. They just seem completely different than something I would have expected from him.
Ok, I can respect if you don't want to give up your source. Can you rate your source on a scale of, say, one to five stars to let us know how confident you are about the information?
Yes, we do, we're in the B1G not the MAC or even the PAC. The all-reds were one of the worst looks in college football. Every fan I know of teams around the nation - and living in Hoboken for nearly 20 years I've made lots of them - I can tell you that each, to a man and woman, laughed hysterically at the "Power-Ranger" look (FWIW).
But I didn't have vision problems untill Greggie got involved with the design.
Yes, he did, he didn't just approve the design he was involved with
the entire process. He should have less involvment with uniform design
and more with half time adjustments. But that's our Greggie
No. But at least I'd like to feel that I am rooting for the same team that I did in college! Not some sci-fi parody of a knight in salmon pajamas!
Think the "power ranger" look has more to do with the size of our players... they just weren't eating enough under Flood's watch
Flood used them and kept them for 4 seasons. Those ugly uniforms became symbolic of those ugly years.
Thinking anything is bad-*** makes it not "bad-***."
You really have to screw up bad to mess up an all white uniform.
Stripes, big numbers, bold readable names, a nice block R on the helmets.
Black shoes and socks...easy!

Picture of an armored up Knight. Said "Unleash your inner Knight" and "Rutgers Football 2016." But in between the chest and the shoulder plate of the knight was a red jersey (brighter and more vibrant than the current shade of red on the uni's) and a white nike swoosh.
