Off season topic and a way to shift conversation from the staff turnover. I know this is dividing but damn I'd like to see it for a few games at least

Do not want. Looks like arse.

Only way I’m for it is if it creates more revenue for the NIL collective.

I think it will generate interest/merchandise for the program. Anything new is always a cash cow.

I would love to see a game with retro uniforms. Like 1960's Oklahoma vs Alabama. That would rock.

In that case I’m all for it, as long as it’s just a swap of the colors on the helmet just like the white helmets worn in the 60s/70s/80s. I don’t want to see any crimson facemasks or any other nonsense.

Just stop the nonsense.
This is more proof of a non story blowing the frick up because of social media.
Ask Ray Perkins if it was a good idea. Just no.

Agreed retro uniforms seem to be always well done

You must not be old enough to have lived through it. If you had you would remember how much the fans wanted to never again pull this crap.

Retro? What could be more classic the the uniforms we wear now? Our uniforms are already “retro”. I mean…what would be different other than stripes on socks or numbers on the sleeves? No names on the back of the jersey?

I hope not. The red helmets are a classic. Why fool with what works?

Well, the red ones with the jersey numbers are just barely above arse, but if anyone mentions making them look good the inbred segment of the fanbase loses their minds. "BUT TURDISHUN!"

I would rather see Bama and the vols both wearing home colors at their game.

That's about the only way to make them look more retro than they are. That would go back about 4 decades or so.

This is possibly the stupidest most retarded thing I’ve read. They are not red you dipshit. There is nothing you can do to make them look better than they currently look, with the one possible exception of a slight hue alteration. Yes tradition matters, but Alabama has the best looking uniforms in football, why would you mess with that?

The Pantone 201C helmets. Feel better?

You could put the goddamn logo on them, instead of numbers in a font that is literally from the 1930's. They are fricking ugly.

And to answer OP. Yes, the white helmet would be fine occasionally, but really only with the white jerseys.

Personally, I’d love to see it maybe one game per year.

I’ve got bad news for you.
BTW I’m a traditionalist and tend to agree that we don’t need to change shite, but 18 year olds like variety, as evidenced by all the current juniors who have been to more schools than a yearbook photographer.
