Official new uniforms suck thread

[vkj91]

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. Enjoy

 

[Caliknight]

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

 

[Knight Shift]

I don't like the gold stripe on your helmet. o_O

 

[hinson32]

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

 

[scarletrat]

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...

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

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.

 

[scottydont]

If they're actually scarlet red, and the numbers are legible, they can't be worse than what we have now.

 

[Caliknight]

I was told one thing for sure- the numbers will be easily seen.

 

[MV9000]

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.

 

[Abro1975]

As long as you can make out the number on the jersey from the lower level, I'll be happy.

 

[RU1977]

Are we switching to OSU uniforms?

 

[Ataylor1989x]

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.

 

[Caliknight]

My ideal world, they are an ode to tradition, with a truly modern feel.

Being yet another boring B1G look isn't for me.

I don't think anyone is allowed to start an "official complainer" post unless they qualify as a serial pain in the ass everything and everyone sucks kind of fan.:chairshot:

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.

 

[S_Janowski]

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 ass by more than a few posters.

 

[Extra Point]

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.

 

[Fishky]

I don't care as long as they win games in them

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Gotta love that self-hate.. Jersey style.

 

[rutgersguy1]

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.

 

[theRU]

I just heard Salmon is the new scarlet.

 

[Tango Two]

I guess no one hates them - good.

 

[mal359]

I wanted Nike to double down tbh.

 

[RUPDS06]

Compared to those awful uniforms of the Flood years, these are great.

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

 

[greenknight]

SeeeeeSWEEEETTTTT

 

[Blitz8RUCrazy]

I don't like them. They are boring. meh. :flush:

 

[njdirt]

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

 

[Caliknight]

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.

 

[KingHigh]

I will not miss the Rutgers Salmon Knights.

[theRU]

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.

 

[Ataylor1989x]

I wanted Nike to double down tbh.

What would that even mean? Go Oregon style? I don't think that would ever work here unless Rutgers added a new accent color.

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

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.

OK Yogi,lol

In my years on the board, I don't recall you ever being happy about anything, so I guess that's par for the course. Why do you call yourself a Rutgers fan at all?

My only real complaint.

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

Same here.

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

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

Hopefully, we never see that.

 

[bac2therac]

we need more uniform threads on the board...I mean there are only like 9 of them in the top 12 listed topics
