Credit to WPS20 for posting this in the recruiting thread but I thought it deserved it's on thread for those that don't go in to that one.

These are just sweet as hell.

Looks badass. Cant wait for the gradient numbers to be gone too. When we drop these jerseys altogether next year I hope they keep the white helmets at least for an alternate

Agreed. That all white look will look great when they drop all of the frills.

Honestly, my biggest complaint with the current uniform set is actually the pant striping on the white pants. That is just absolutely terrible.




It just makes too much going on with the whole uniform. I think that is why I like our red pants combo a lot better because there was not as much going on since the pants were plain.

The white helmet is great. Love it. But I just do not understand the entire "look" with that frickin jersey. It's like they've thrown old school & new together, and it just does not work.

Btw, that stripe on the pants is hideous. Either no stripe at all, or a very narrow one.

We just need to spotlight our cool hog on the helmet and leave the rest alone, imo.


Eta - jersey in the top pic looks like S.Carolina. I thought our colors were cardinal & white?

It depends on the lighting, it is the correct color, but it looks darker indoors, looks a lil different at night vs day, etc.

The only time the color has truly been off was the Nike jerseys during Matt Jones' era.

ETA: The adidas DMAC jerseys were also off, the red was "Wisconsin/Georgia" Red. The red should be darker, it isn't called Cardinal Red after the bird, but after the red Cardinal's in the Catholic Church wear, just a useless FYI.

As much as people say "we don't like looking like Texas", their all white away uniforms are some of the sweetest (tights, dopest, most killer) uniforms in CFB. I'd like to see us do all white away uniforms. I'd way rather see that than any more fricking black/anthracite.

Well, it looks "off," and I hate mixing in all the black & gray.

Yes, but still looked better than this imo.

I did not know this. Interesting.

There is a reason for this, I'll try to explain.

Yes, what is actually happening is the school is using the official color for, basically, the first time, Nike's original change to the color appeared to be off, it has been said it was because of the material used in the uniforms (same reason people do not understand the "dark patches" in the current uniform on the stomach, under arms, back, etc, it is a different material that is the same color but looks different on the jersey, especially when it is wet), before the school used "Red", if you look up the old color pics from the 60s you can see its the same as Georgia uses, "Red". If you can find pics against Nebraska, you can tell its different as Nebraska's red is Scarlet Red. (going off memory, may have them reversed)

Another factor in Arkansas is the St. Louis Cardinals, they do not use Cardinal Red except in logos, their uniforms have always used "Red" except a brief time when they used Scarlet Red, but, people associate that red as Cardinal Red, because hey, they are the Cardinals after all.

Basically, the school starts using the official school color and everyone is like "that's not right" because the wrong color was used for most of their lives.

All the different shades is pretty annoying. It perplexes me how a school can approve so many messed up products. The CLC is suppossed to bring uniformity

There are Arkansas products that are damned near maroon. There are Arkansas products that are tomato red.

I personally think the shade they chose a few years back Pantone is a bit too "pink". I wouldn't buy the "Razorback Red" paint they sell at Home Depot because its basically a shade of pink.

I prefer the bright red on BB's tie to the "dark pink" hogs on the presser background:
