If we just go back with the DMac uniforms everything will be back to normal

as long as we're with nike we're not going back to that style. nike isn't going to copy adidas. nike instead gave us a unique look, that looks traditional but makes us stand out from other teams (see alabama and oklahoma)

oh and if you weren't aware

nike >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> adidas

Adidas copied Nike with that uniform, OU is and has been a Nike school for a while now.

Tulane has the exact same jersey template as OU in basketball, just the colors changed.

No one else is going to be using our jerseys, I don't care to be like someone else or have some one else be like us, others are infatuated with looking like OU or Bama.

I disagree. That's a font that can last if used across all sports..it really sets an identity as "Arkansas". If used long enough people will see that font and immediately think UA athletics

agreed

but this is change we're talking about here. most people hate change. the thing with change is it's inevitable, the hard part is learning to enjoy it.

Have you seen the new Taco Bell commercial?

The one where the guy talks about eating McMuffins since the 80s?

The one where he gets rid of his flock of seagulls hair cut, his key-tar, and takes down his loverboy poster?

Reminds me of some people.

I can't see nike copying another teams uniform when giving a school their 'GIG' treatment.

Knowing how Taco Bell treats me after a 4 am run mid bender, I can't imagine wanting to start my sober day with that punishment to my insides.

They can keep the current uniforms just remove the tusk looking mark on the should sleeve & place the Hog back on.. Everyone can live with that

Has Nike/UA said it was suppose to be a tusk?

Looks like a simple accent, to me, something is needed to break up the blandness, the hog on the shoulder is redundant with the helmet near by, numbers on the side isn't Arkansas' thing.

Its a simple stripe like SCs, which has changed over the years.

I like the tusk more than our main logo on the sleeve atm

but I'll hold off full judgement till I see them in action on the field

Whatever is it I don't know.. We have always had a Razorback there so it's only right to have one.. I agree on not having numbers anywhere on the shoulder pads.. Just the Hog

There was nothing.

Then there was numbers.

Then there was nothing.

For a brief time there was a hog.

This "always has had" stuff is hilarious in how it doesn't match facts or history.

the thing about putting a line or tusk on the sleeve instead of the logo is anyone can put the logo on the sleeve. putting just the logo takes no thought or design skill.

however putting the tusk or line on the sleeve actually requires some thought and style skill.

also the tusk is pretty unique to our mascot and it's out live mascots name. bet that's why they tried to incorporate it into the uniform design. gives us something we can use on our jersey's that other schools can't

Ok let me correct myself then.. Since '85 (when I noticed it on there) we had the Hog on the side until these past few years.. Does that match up good enough for you
