I'm not complaining. But I have this feeling I won't like them.

No matter what the uniforms look like, 50% of the people at a minimum will hate them.

Just want something clean and simple. The current jerseys arent good. Scarlet, white with black accents are essentially what i would like as a simplistic color scheme.

I went to Purdue back in the late 90s, and I'll never forget how universally everyone hated the new look that Joe Tiller brought in with him from Wyoming.......then Purdue went on to make bowl games in those uniforms for nine straight years, including a Rose Bowl......and by the time they redesigned the uniforms, people had nostalgia for the unis they originally hated.

always wanted to start an "official" thread. This thread will be for all of you who find a reason to complain about anything and everything.
I don't think anyone is allowed to start an "official complainer" post unless they qualify as a serial pain in the *** everything and everyone sucks kind of fan.:chairshot:

I share Cali's sentiment. Don't want 2006ish looking uniforms. Nothing wrong with changing to be able to read the numbers but at same time keeping some stain with the unis...
The artificial "scarring" of the uniform is a mistake.

They won't look like 2006 unis, though. They'll look identical to Buckeye unis, except instead of gray, it'll be white.

Apparently AD got word of this thread and they pulled the plug on the unveiling. Yay! This is why we can't have nice things.

I'm sure I am considered a pain in the *** by more than a few posters.

If four people look at the uniforms, and 1 of them thinks the uniform suck, what are the odds that the second person they ask think they suck more. None of the individuals think they suck equally.
Assuming that the four people are randomly selected from this board, and based on the number of whiners here, the probability in Spock Logic would indicate that the probability is approximately 99.849.

Here we have nostalgia for the uniforms we wore when we lost all the time.

I don't care as long as they win games in them
I'm with you. We all have our personal preferences but it's not a deal breaker for me. Except for the red one which is hard to read, I like our current uniforms. Whether they go to one end of the spectrum towards Oregon/Maryland or the other to a simple style doesn't matter to me. Just win a lot and I'm a happy camper, I can live with whatever the style regardless of my personal preferences.

In my experience 90% will love the, 90% will hate them and the other half will wish we could go back to 2006

Like them though a black stripe on the pants in the middle of the Red on the white pants would have been more classic. Not a fan of the new #s font but at least readable from stands & on TV

I have to say, I love them. Clean, simple, yet modern.

Said it in another thread, our Olympic sports and hoops look super sharp. Having a unified brand across all sports is really important. We have it.

i guess i feel like we could have improved the last edition...i dont think going back to being plain was necessary. I was also a huge fan of our whites and loved the helmets.

I dont hate the new look...i just think its very blah.

All white on the road. white Helmets.
Red top and white bottoms at home. red Helmets.

I know we will have an All Black version once a year for a night time black out game at home. THIS year it should be Michigan.

Hopefully, we will have an All Red version for select home games.

I like the brighter scarlet from the Schiano era uniforms better.

My only real complaint.

*And yet no TV numbers on the news ones. LOL

Hopefully, we never see that.
