NEW Power K uniforms
- Thread starter VC99
- Start date
Just play winning football. Who worries so much about helmets, shoes, jerseys?
So if they went out there in nothing but their jockstraps and lost, would you be happy or sad?
Every coach I played for through college was the opposite of this mindset.
How you look and how you practice matter. It's why if you ever play for a program that wears black as a primary, they promote it, coaches want you to look like you're headed to a funeral and play like it. This is professional sports, how you're branded is MAJOR and is a major point of emphasis that organizations spend millions and millions of dollars on. Fans don't want to look like sht and they don't want the team to either. Players don't want to look like **** either. Look at Stein, we have a coach that understands it, look how he dresses vs. Stoops.
Imagine this line of thinking for work. Who cares how the company looks as long as the math is there. So lose the suits, show up in flip flops and a 5 day old white T you were roofing in? Because the quota was met? It's why Gen Z is having a hard time when they have to show up and work 5 days per week wearing real clothes and not furry people shoes and stripper shorts. (Although I do appreciate and their lack of self awareness)
This is one of the most bizarre takes to me that's ever existed on this board. To think there's a large minority that doesn't care if they come out in checkers and silver bullet love egg helmets. How about win and look the role too? Alabama LSU Georgia everyone is majorly into branding and forced Nike to keep in line. As an athlete you want to look good and win doing it not look like **** and win doing it. The uniforms are mostly gorgeous right now so I don't have many complaints. Who doesn't want to see that? Wild to me.
And if we are wearing throwback uniforms why would we wear modern cleats? And bring the neck collars back for the guys in the trenches.
Because they aren't literally old throwback uniforms?
What a shame!! I want to see these teams really commit to throwback eras. Leather helmets, coaches in suits ripping cigarettes, and wishbone offense
That's the point. Win=happy.
Loss=sad. No matter the costume.
I'm 100% certain they'd play in gear, but I could see you fantasizing about their jockstraps. Again, who gives a damn? You trying to flip gear or autographs? You think recruits sign on because they like the uniform? Win the games.
I really hope we come out in something like this.
forever rid ourselves of any atrocities Mitch brought to the program.

Okay now I know you didn't play sports. Not everyone does so I'm not being an ******* hope it doesn't come off that way. But yes athletes care greatly about what they wear. Greatly.
Athletes spend hours in front of mirrors looking at themselves in their gear hyping up. Believe it or not in recruiting when a decision cannot be made and both finalist are 50/50, yes they can be swayed but gear and what they wear. Oregon has literally created an entire brand build around their gear and colorways.
Players despised the checkerboards and actually commented on it on social media. They absolutely take notice.
A lot of athletes are young black kids, what they wear is a major part of why they love playing.
You want to look the part, you want good branding and clean uniforms. It's astounding to me how a small minority legit couldn't care less if they look like ***. It's foreign to athletes that I can absolutely tell you. In baseball it's nearly as important as the game itself to baseball players.
This. I know its weird but its correct. Oregon built a powerhouse program well before nil solely on the back of really cool exclusive gear. That's literally what built their program.
Just look at any recruiting pic. The players are almost always in pads etc with their choice of accessories and posing for pics they'll put on socials.
I'm glad we can make 100% guarantees that our players will be wearing clothes during the game, not a lot of sure things these days.
Those are AWESOME!! I love them. Brings back some good memories!
I’d be quite happy if we just went with this permanently. It’s a cool non-gimmicky classic look. And unlike the generic interlocking logo, the power K gives us a distinctive symbol that nobody else has and sets us apart.
please just keep these uniforms forever. They match exactly what I wanted. This is perfect. Never would have happened under Mitch. Oh how we’ve rid ourselves of the garbage
The checkerboard, birds, highschool looking uniforms to the power K ones literally embody the Mitch Barnhartt tenure and his utter incompetency.

I absolutely love this uniform.
I'm not old enough to care about the Power K, though I am old. It's way better than that KState wildcat ripoff logo Mitch approved though.
Put these in the rotation and get the uniforms with gray in them out of the rotation.
I like these, but would prefer no stripes on the sleeves, just solid with numbers.
Not going to lie that’s a sharp *** uniform and very distinct. The ones we’ve had for the last 15 years are the definition of meh
