re: Ole Miss Uniforms versus Florida

Having grown up in the light blue helmet era, I do have an affinity for that original color. I do not care for the "powder blue" look, which lacks the tinge of green in it. And all the shirts and other paraphernalia are way off - just stock light blue. If we can't get a proper blue then I'd rather not even try. Surely we have some actual helmets from that era that we can match. I'm not certain that the Fla. game helmets were even the "powder blue" we have been using - looked a bit darker to me.
I would not change anything else - gray pants w/ red and blue stripes, double shoulder stripes. The one thing I'd go back to is a painted or taped real red stripe on the helmet - not the satiny Christmas ribbon-looking thing. Red on blue has a natural tension that stands out but the satin lessens the effect.
