Even if the rumor of removing the gradient fading on the numbers and helmet are true, while that will help, they are just fricking ugly.

I didn't mind them at all last year, maybe because of all the shitshow distractions, but rewatching the spring game and these things are just god awful and a disgrace.

Please bring back the gloss helmets, matte might have been hip and "in" but it looks like shite and our helmets are classic, get back to the gloss.

I'm pretty sure Bielema said next year we'll have brand new more traditional uniforms thankfully, but damn this year is gonna suck watching us play in these again.

Coach B is a traditionalist.

I liked the all whites, take away the shitty gradient effect on the numbers and helmets, and take away the gay numeral font and I'm fine with the all white roads. Remove the awful thick stripe as well or just make it a standard skinny stripe.

Gloss helmets would be icing on the cake.

I'd really like to see a gloss white helmet, although the white matte would probably be better. Gloss red better be back for next year though. Didn't much care for a white helmet period, didn't think it looked as good as I thought it would in the A&M game.

All red should never ever be worn here and thankfully very rarely is.

Probably why I hate these jerseys even worse watching the spring game, having to use all red.

So brutal.

I liked the addition of white helmets. With a solid red razorback, those are gonna look sweet

I hate the San Diego Chargers bullshite. Someone from Nike even admitted they opened up the Chargers file and just copied it onto ours. Its not original at all and it looks really bad

The all-red and black are also hideous. Whites are tolerable. I hate how we wear red socks with white cleats though

Let the kids wear what they want to wear.

I remember people bitching when Corliss and company all voted to switch to the longer basketball shorts.

Fashion is for kids, let them be the ones who choose what they want to represent.

Just win ball games.

Dear god no.

Let the coaches decide what the kids wear, which thankfully, Bielema is doing.

Companies don't change their identities every year, the USA doesn't have a citizen vote on the nation's flag every year, and we shouldn't leave our image in the hands of 18 year olds

We are the brand that the kids either buy or they don't. Either they like what we are or they move on. We don't change for them. UA athletics will be around long after these kids move on to the NFL

The way these nike schools are, they stand for nothing if they change every year

TL;DR: Sell out

Exactly.

Which is why I love Bielema's approach of a classic traditional jersey, and that's the one we'll have for his full tenure here almost guaranteed.

Unfortunately we have to wait until next year with this Petrino garbage Louisville shite from the AFL.

In regards to the jerseys, its 100% true. Even if we wanted to keep the gradient we couldn't because the NCAA passer a rule recently that bans gradient numbers.

The helmet however will be the same this season.

Leave it to the NCAA.

Pay a kid's father to get the kid to your school? yeah no problem. Gradient numbers? frick NO.

Thank you, NCAA.

I agree with the OP. Are unis look like shite. D-Mac era unis were boss. Even 2010-2011 was acceptable.

As long as we have only the flat red/black helmets, we should wear the white one every game. At least it doesn't look so arena league.

I agree. They're absolutely horrible, and possibly the worst in the league. The ones we had before these weren't good, but they were 1,000X better than what we have now. The charger stripes and the black shite on the helmets are the worst parts.
