Our uniforms stink

[Plum Street]

Our uniforms stink, according to the Chicago tribune. We were picked worst in the league.

They are pretty bad but nowhere near as bad as Purdue’s IMO.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

Who cares.

 

[RUtrumpet92]

Dumb comment in our review: we should choose a different accent color because there are a lot of red teams in the league? Uhhhhh. No. Let one of them change.

 

[satnom]

Evidence why you never listen to Midwesterners regarding fashion:

“As one of the Big Ten’s seven red-hued teams, they would be wise to change their secondary color from boring black to something that would set them apart. Gold? Royal blue? Sky blue maybe?”

GO RU

 

[koleszar]

Damn, and here I thought we were going to be invited to fashion week this year in NYC.

 

[sct1111]

Eh, I think out of all the reds ours is one of the better ones. Nebraska and Wisconsin's are awful.

This is just an "ew Rutgers" article from a Midwestern moron.

This made me think of "No way, Why should I change??? He's the one that sucks!"

Name the movie

Wrong board. Should be in the football board

[Rhuarc]

The Nebraska uniform with that weird looking N on it is the worst uniform this side of Oregon football.

 

[armenius]

Debbie Does Dallas?

Nope.... funny guy

 

[OntheBanks]

Stink?? What are you doing looking into the teams laundry bag.??

 

[ScarletKid2008]

I actually really like our uniforms.

I think Nebraska , Wisconsin and Iowa Unis all leave A LOT to be desired.

 

[PatrickRU92]

I actually really like our uniforms. Best ones we've had in a LONG time

The Midwest media hates Rutgers. They’ll pick on everything related to RU.

Still haven't gotten over being known as the "2nd city".

Ours could be better but this is plain ol Midwest bull$hit. Just a bunch of homers.

Must have been a survey by the Toledo Blade.

 

[S_Janowski]

Article lost all credibility with Illinois and Penn State at #4 and #5.

 

[jerzeyguy]

I like Purdue's uniforms

 

[bac2therac]

they did get it right about the thick shoulder straps, that is beginning to get outdated

but their comments about the secondary color is just so random. they also picked probably two of the worst pics to put up there.

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

literally 14 unis that all pretty much look the exact same other than a couple colors......

make a list, pick on Rutgers...... wow, there's some deep reporting there...........

Number font is what needs to change.

Across the board.

 

[Plum Street]

I don’t think they are bad. I think uniforms should look cool to the players and recruits, while also not being a clown outfit.

 

[knightfan7]

Damn, and here I thought we were going to be invited to fashion week this year in NYC.

When was the last time RU was invited. Is the drought longer than the NCAA's?

I hope if invited RU has Hansel model the uni's. He's so in right now.

 

[REDRICH65]

Screw every Debbie Downer. Rutgers is older than all B1G schools and Scarlet etc have been our colors since Nov.6 1869, if not before. All copycats need to change.

 

[RUPete]

Yeah, Rutgers has been around this higher education thing a little longer.

 

[Mr Magoo]

This. The B1G probably has the worst (boring) uniforms as a conference anyway. Some will call them classic. Purdue has the most putrid color scheme on earth and Iowa and Purdue look like they have a cheap rubber stamp on the front of their jerseys.

 

[rutger80]

Yeah, that black and pink ensemble penn state wore last week......WTF was that?

 

[e5fdny]

I don’t think they are bad. I think uniforms should look cool to the players and recruits, while also not being a clown outfit.

I think this most recent one for Basketball is pretty darn good. Didn’t love the black shoulders at first but after seeing them on the players and TV...not too shabby.

Just give me true block numbers instead of this “Rutgers” font carried over from Nike. Got to be someone in Athletics who really likes it for that to have happened.

I'm getting ready to begin attending some hoops road games. Looking forward to seeing those crying midwest fans as we walk out winners. Wish i had had made the trip to Iowa for this year's stomping.

 

[Antnee79]

Believe it or not, those were Ped State's original colors...from 1887-1890. Changed to blue and white because the pink color faded in the sun and the sports teams were mocked by opposing teams regarding the pink color scheme.

Would love to see the Rutgers black history uniform as the new away uniform:

I dig our football uniforms. Our hoops uniforms are terrible. Reminds me of the ugly And1 uniforms from the 90's.

Something clean would be nice.

 

[RutgersFan]

I feel the opposite way, our basketball uniforms are fine, it is our football uniforms that are the worst. I hate the strips, the lack of black as a secondary color around the numbers, and especially hate in the white helmets.

Totally agree. They reflect how much of a total embarrassment that the program has become. If they are on tv with the white helmets and red jerseys I change the channel. Dumbest uniforms. And the dumb coach let’s the kids decide on this pathetic color combo. Infuriating

Football needs just a few tweaks IMO to get it right:

- Helmet should have stripes (think Marco era) with a black face mask
- True block numbers
- NJ thing should either be on the back of the helmet and/or on the front neck yoke. Terrible spot where it is now
- Stripes are fine but should have black as an accent

I don’t mind the all-white away uniform which includes the helmet. But not married to it.

Do like the Stars and Stripes Block R for a game on 9/11, Veterans Day, Pearl Harbor or against an Academy.

 

[MV9000]

No problems with our unis this year. They get nicer every version. Our black history month ones were pretty too. ****'em. Who cares

 

[RUinOhio]

switch RU's with Michigan's and we'd still be last.

the font is too small, but its bigger than Michigan, whole thing is dumb.
