Pretty good set here. I like teams bringing back the more classic look with pant stripes and shoulder stripes. Kind of a mix between old and new.
Stealing the diamond steel shoulder look that I think Oregon did, in all black would be kind of cool. kind of like this but with more pronounced diamond shape and smaller and slightly raised.
Except it's a studded Louis logo Sounds like we'll have some wild alternate, possibly upgraded the terrible powder blue jerseys.
It could be done and look good. I think the hate is more based on the time period it occurred but if we're hating unis because of bad football, oh boy.
Had no idea about these until I randomly saw some pictures of them a couple years ago. Was always surprised they never wore them as a one-off alternate look in recent years.
May 28, 1981—Blue officially adopted as the primary uniform color in place of black after a Board of Regents mandate at its January meet- ing. Originally suggested to be “the deep blue Colorado of Colorado’s sky at 9,000 feet” by then-Regent Jack Anderson, jerseys were official- ly an “Air Force Blue” though different than the blue the Air Force Academy’s sports teams wore. Numerals were silver or yellow-gold, depending on the sport, and outlined in white. The football pant remained gold, but with a blue stripe, for both home and road. Football helmets remained gold but with blue logos. Other programs switched to blue, ranging from road basketball jerseys to golf bags. CU’s trademark south end zone is painted blue, the first color change since it was created after the track was removed in 1966. July 1, 1981—What would become the longest running logo in school history (24 years) is officially registered as CU’s primary mark. Keystone Resort vice president Jerry Jones helped arrange the design, at a bargain cost of $1,000, by Terry Heckler Associates in Seattle (Craig Marocco was the artist). Heckler’s firm did the Keystone logo, along with many others; because Heckler and Jones are friends, CU gets the $12,000 project for just one grand. Athletic director Eddie Crowder and associate AD Fred Casotti make the final decision on the logo from several mock-ups; CU Insiders dub it the “pigalo” after Fairbanks said publicly, “It looks like a pig.” The logo catches on and eventually turns into one of the most recognizable logos in college athletics, if not sports, that incorporat- ed the school/team ID (CU) and the mascot/nickname all in one. 1984—The colors are altered slightly, as the blue is enhanced to a darker hue; football goes with gold, borderless numbers and com- plaints rain in from many, as players can’t be identified from stands. Black and white photos and game films appear as if players wore no numbers at all. Bill McCartney had the football team twice wear black jerseys (against Oklahoma and Nebraska) in a similar way that Notre Dame broke out its green jersey for big games. April 24, 1985—“Black is Back” read the release announcing that ath- letic director Bill Marolt would allow head coaches of all CU sports teams (then 14 in number) the option of returning to black as the pri- mary jersey color. McCartney’s throwback efforts the previous season were the impetus for the change; the football jersey had a blue stripe on the arm for the 1985, 1986 and 1987 seasons before it was dropped altogether in 1988. ======================= Make up your minds, Colorado.
Helmet is fine Number font is an improvement Diamond plate throwback from the H. Ngata era is fine over all I'd give it 8.7/10
Not sure what is worse- the shade of orange they used or the attempt to make Orange County seem tough.
I hope my school one day has a UA breakaway announcement. But I hope it’s to announce we’re getting Nike. Adidas would feel like meh
