How can you be a Rutgers fan and think those are Schiano uniforms
Because Schiano was the one who worked on that design before he left. Flood inherited that from Nike.
They are not aging well i'll tell you that much. I like our most recent look. Feels clean and fresh.
Schiano didn't design them! He gave Nike a few bullet points and Nike screwed it up.
One of the many reasons Schiano left. He would never coach a team wearing pajamas.
They were awful.

Schiano worked on those for a year and approved them prior to leaving. They were his creation. Flood inherited them.
These are the things he needs to get out of the way of. He isn't a style maven. Leave it to the experts and allow them to work.
Good luck reading the numbers. I tried for like two years and finally gave up. Trying to figure out who made a tackle or hell who was even on the field became a continuous argument with my seatmates.
No he didn't. He sent ideas to Nike. They worked on it. When he left he never saw anything made.
I don't think we are going to use a nike design until we change suppliers.
No he didnt!!He only saw drawings. He never approved them. Never saw them until he was in Tampa. And they were embarrassing
My niece and nephew liked them too. Reminded them of their favorite show at the time.
We can agree to disagree. The point still stands. He's a football coach, not a fashion influencer. Let the pros work and get out of the way.
Nope. Give me the 2006 Texas Bowl uniforms please. Also, as far as I'm concerned, Nike can go to hell after the Kaepernick nonsense.

Keep what we have now
Clean classic look

The sort of red color one was terrible, the helmets and the whites and blacks were awesome.
Yes. Classic, but distinctively RU.
Someone tweeted Coach about this thread asking if he did in fact design the uniform and would he please come over and say hi.
Maybe if they fixed the numbers on the red jerseys or if they mixed up the unis red/white, white/red, black/red, etc?
I liked the way they were able to give the helmets different looks by changing the facemasks and logo colors with the same helmet.
At least they ditched the black uniforms this year

"The new look for Rutgers Football is a clean, modern style that our student-athletes, recruits and fans will be very impressed with," said Rutgers Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Tim Pernetti. "Nike, along with our football staff did an amazing job of incorporating our history, mascot, and our most valuable asset, the Block R, while designing a uniform that will generate incredible excitement. This was a process that lasted over a year with tremendous input from both Kyle Flood and Greg Schiano."

The salmon colored jersey was designed by Schiano's right hand man Todd Greineder & was approved by Schiano who wanted the numbers harder for the opposing teams coaching staff to read while trying to make substitutions from upstairs. Todd then got a big job at Nike World Headquarters in Oregon as the head of Sports Licensing
No link but facts from the AD at the time with 7 other people listening. You do know that the first "reveal" of the new unis was months after Greg was gone and they were just renderings. You have don't have to believe me. Google it yourself. The first time you saw a public mockup was in May
