The camo is a tribute for one game not an everyday choice. For the record the Gator gloves are the best so far.

You have to speak slowly to those from our (LSU and UF) northern campus.

Is every team who wears Nike going to have their version? I think Arkansas is making the switch to Nike next season.

I'm not sure if all Nike teams are getting them or just the good teams.

I kid, I kid.

I think there are about 10 teams I have seen listed so far. Arky wasn't one of them.

LSU, FSU, UF, OSU, OU, TX, etc...

Perhaps when you switch they'll getcha some.

That's a great decision by NIKE. I like the fact that they took REALLY good traditional uniforms as a challenge and try to improve them. It takes balls!


tOSU, UT, & LSU uni's were my favorites as a kid! I also think the other schools picked were great. I would like to see TCU swapped for Penn State.

I wonder if they chose TCU because they were the best option to do the skin print. If you look at the TCU pants they have a "scale" pattern to them, and the helmets are supposed to have a ghost pattern of a scale print as well - replicating the skin of a horned frog. Of the other teams being done, Florida with an alligator scale pattern would be the next best choice and maybe UF wouldn't go for that.

I have no idea what they could possibly do with PSU's uni though. It would be cool to see what they came up with.

Those SOW unis look like rollerball uniforms.

I hope Arkansas can wear those at some point next year. We have some garbage ones right now.

I kind of am, but I can see this.

A few of these games the Nike teams are wearing these new uniforms are rivalry games, both on the field and with these companies.

For example, just to name a few:

OSU (Nike) vs Michigan (Adidas)
Florida St (Nike) vs Maryland (Under Armour)
LSU (Nike) vs Arkansas (Adidas)
Texas (Nike) vs Texas A&M (Adidas)

Which kind of makes this a little bit more intriguing, I guess.

It seems Nike also chose games to have the teams wear these where they'd be the clear favorite, as well, which is good strategy.

I think UF rejects all gator print ideas now.
