Color Crisis

I think the honeycomb helmets work as a special once per season. Hated the bubble wrap jerseys though.

That whole uni combo during the CPJ era made us look like some cheap XFL or NFL Europe team, or worse. Pee gold too. They were about as bad as the Pittsburg Pirate Unis of the late 70s in baseball. Some of the best unis were from the 1990 era, GOL and a few years of CG...and yes. Ditch the Blue pants. Personally I think the black watch unis we did recently were fly. We should bring that one back once a year, every year. Only wear white helmets if we do the throwback unis with Calvin Johnson was here otherwise only gold domes.. always.

I agree- but I sure did like the 1990 blue top uniforms
They looked great
The problem is the cheap asss high school blue looks since then have been crap
Gold blue gold looks like crap
The all blue with gold letters looks like crap
The all white with flashes of blue looks ok

We certainly never wore solid blue uniforms until Johnson's last team wore them in Detroit for that bowl game.

Ummm.... what? We wore blue jerseys in CPJ's very first year, 2008 Peach Bowl against LSU (yes we would all like to forget it).

OK I re-read. Still don't understand. Seems like a lot of gold in 2018 as well. Perhaps you should revisit the definition of "solid."

I am talking about blue jerseys and blue pants. That's what I consider solid blue uniforms. Of course, the numerals and names and trim are going to be another color. But as far as I am concerned blue jerseys and blue pants in the same uniform look like crap ... at least for a team whose brand is the "White and Gold".

Never liked that gold. Looks the same color our basketball court looked like a couple years ago.

That gold is bad. Pepper unveiled jerseys and helmets with that shade of gold in ‘76. They were terrible. A Dawg I dated said they looked more pea green than gold and that they made our helmets look like Le Sueur English Peas. I hated that, mainly because she was right. Some blamed our QB situation for going 4-6-1 that year. I blame the wrong shade of gold uniforms.

We wore our traditional gold white gold on the road at Auburn that year and upset them. Then, at Homecoming, Pepper ditched the ugly stuff and wore the traditional uniform and we beat Notre Dame without benefit of the forward pass. Just saying.

GOL did this combo...for home and away. Like the Dallas Cowboys. Everyone knew what our unis looked like. I'm for the Old Skool Classic Look. I was all for the glory during the CPJ years but not the unis. We looked like a USFL team.

I think that was largely Russell trying to define a fashion image. It failed. The chicken-wire unis of 2012 were the worst, IMPO. However, by 2014 that had been ironed out and Russell was providing the gold/white/gold classic unis that were sharp. The blue version of the year was nice, too., IIRC. So, it was a mixed bag to me - some bad, some good, most in the middle somewhere. The worst part was we looked different every year.

All that said, there are not many of the Adidas unis that I've really liked. They just almost all have had some kind of funkiness about them.
