Recruits, Younger Fans, Midfield Logo, Uniforms

Are there enough younger fans to maybe freshen up the program image a little ? I know some of the older fans believe it blasphemy to even speak of such, but would it really be so bad to freshen things up a little ?


Lets start with the midfield logo:



Kinda boring when compared to say... LSU



Not only is the LSU midfield logo better looking, but it has a certain bad-asses play here feel to it. Most adults probably dont think it matters one way or another, but kids definitely notice little details like this.

I hear tradition a lot when talking about changing things up, but the fact is the current logo, and current uniforms came along long after Bama had a winning tradition.

For Example... I believe even this older logo would look a million times better than the current one at midfield.



But I would rather see a side profile of a bad-arse elephant much like LSU does... maybe something like this:







Now none of these are exactly what I would want. An artist needs to get involved, and create one that looks flat out evil. Long tusk, and a general look of "I will trample you to death" perhaps in the eyes.

The point being that the side profile of a bull elephant would be much more intimidating at midfield than a circle, and the recruits/kids would love it.


On to uniforms:

Like I said the current uniforms that everyone thinks would be blasphemy to alter in any way are predated by many other uniforms that Bama has worn.

Bama could put a spin on an older even more traditional uniform maybe once or twice a season ? Not talking every week here, but simply one game out of the season maybe ? Again... recruits/kids love that shite.

Here, look at what Tennessee did with their uniforms a few times last year; these uniforms no matter how much you hate tennessee are bad arse IMO.





Maybe once a year Bama could almost copy these grey uniforms replacing all the yellow with crimson ?

Or maybe Nike could update on one of Bamas oldest uniforms ?








Relative to the uniforms I'm just talking once a year for the kids and recruiting and what not... they would love it.

But the midfield logo desperately needs to be re-thought. Bama could do much better. The image of Bryan-Denny-Saban needs to be an intimidating one not to be outdone by anyone especially LSU.
