What's the deal with other teams copying Arkansas' Unis?

First it was Bear Bryant showing his penis envy towards Broyles for being at Arkansas by copying our uni, since Bama doesn't have a mascot that would look good on the side of the helmet, he had numbers placed there.

Wilson Matthews went from Broyles' staff to OU, along with him he took a uniform, a uniform OU liked so much they copied it 100% adding "Oklahoma" to the chest and replacing the hog with the OU logo on the helmet.

Flash forward to today, Arkansas unveils its newly designed uniform months ago:







Imitators, the lot of them.

Nike likes to pick on the pushover schools by making them use those abortions of a design

Bama copied Arkansas' unis 20 or so years before Nike was founded.

Nike. Go figure. Guess all their talented designers work on the multiple Oregon uniforms.

OU...different font, different color, different sleeves.

Is this thread a diversion for another 0-fer SEC record?

How does it feel that the uniforms other schools allegedly copied from Arkansas are known nationally as the Alabama and Oklahoma design instead of being associated with tFlagship?

Worst Arkansas uniforms ever were from the Barry Lunney, Jr. era. With the giant hogs on the shoulder pads.

Best was DMAC Nutt era.

This upcoming year's is okay. Arkie just needs to stick with something. It's not tradition if it never stays the same.

Those were APEX jerseys, the Minnesota Apex's were worse, but the APEX basketball unis were bad arse.

We wore the same unis from the start of the Broyle's era until the APEX unis, then went back to it until 2000 or so. During that time we've seen, Bama, OU, and even Indiana copy us.

Schools with shitty traditions tend to have shitty uniforms like in your post.
