Simple Nike uniforms exist. Look at Bama. It's not Nike's fault that everyone wants a modern look. The people that want classic get classic. (LSU, Bama, Wisconsin, Notre Dame). Adidas made more crappy jerseys than good ones. Yeah they had a great look in 06, but then they changed it. The suits at Arkansas wanted a different look, and they've been searching for it ever since. I think we just need to give them and Nike time to find it.

Pretty sure Petrino changed it, not Adidas. Could be wrong though.

I know. But that's the point. It's not Nike's fault that Arkansas wants a modern look.

You do know its the coaches who pick out/approve the uniform design for the cycles?

All Adidas did was pull out the Wisconsin template and put our name on the front... so after this season Bert can have them pull out the OU template and put our name in replacing theirs.

Tulane uses OU's basketball jersey template with their colors, fwiw.

Same could be said for Adidas though. But I get your point - I'm sure Nike could come up with something similar to '06 if we asked.

Those are literally the only simple one's Nike makes.
Basically, we trashed the only good look we've ever had (Red and White, nothing flashy, it's football for pete's sake). We let some Nike intern cut and paste SD Chargers logo's onto our shoulder or just experiment with our look every year. We've become a push-over.

The 90s unis were APEX, Converse, and Reebok.

People bitch about our basketball jerseys, we join some high end programs in getting new Elite jerseys, people still bitch.

It really sucks to be thought of by Nike to include us in the Elite lineup with the likes of Kentucky, Florida, Syracuse, etc.

Those jerseys were already in motion prior to Petrino being hired.

Things have been going so well on the field/court lately, we just have to find something to complain about.

I must have been thinking of Reebok then.

ETA: Which would explain the Reebok logo on the uni I posted.

We should LITERALLY go back to the company that made uniforms that didn't look like shite for once.
