How is that pig different than all the other pigs I've seen on Arkansas stuff?

Yeah, I don't understand that one either.

My two problems with Texas A&M's uniforms...

1.) They should have never ditched the collar design
2.) The Texas A&M font is entirely too small and compressed

They should go back to the old font/collar (like below):




So basically, switch back to Nike.

There was an article on Uni Watch not too long ago talking about how Nike owns States' Interlocking MSU logo.

We'll be lucky if the coaches are even wearing red or white on the sidelines this year. Nike seems hellbent on turning every school's uniforms into all-black Oregon replicas. I really wish we could keep some decent uniforms for more than just a couple years.

Didn't really care for the collar design, but it was unique. Completely agree about the font size on the jerseys being too small, though.

So long as we don't go back to hideous maroon facemasks, I'm good

UnderArmour is god awful.

See: Maryland.

When you create what many consider the worst uniforms in the history of sports, you should just stop and give up.

Maryland is to Under Armour as Oregon is to Nike.

Except a lot of people, and media, love Oregon's uniforms.

Maryland, see above post about worst in sports history.

The difference is that Nike is about 3 years ahead of UA with their testing random arse uniforms on the company founder's alma ater. Everyone hated Oregon's uniforms like 3 years ago. Two things happened since. 1) They got better. 2) We got used to them.

The logos on our polos are fine, the plain ole "G", but I hate how the collar is a different color than the rest of the shirt, looks retarded.

I'll say this: I like UAs materials more than Nikes. But the schools do have a say in what their uniforms look like. Maryland wanted those State Flag jerseys.



But its what the kids want too, and if a college player is gonna be jazzed up because they're wearing black or their state flag, then whatever.


That said, I love traditional uniforms.
