Dorsal-Fin

I think you’ve got the right idea.
-Tear down the upper portion on both sides.
- Maintain the same bowl shape and slope but just go vertical sooner.
-Make entire west side and all upper decks entirely seatbacks.
-Build the NEZ to be a beautiful front door that blends in and spills into campus and the grove.
-expand and beautify without adding 20k seats.

We have a unique opportunity to have arguably the most beautiful and iconic on campus tailgate x stadium combo in the country.

I am not opposed if they can get it right. In the past adidas was a clearly inferior product in terms of fit and gimmicky looking uniforms. Not sure that is still true, but it definitely sticks with me.

If they add the dual stripe to our white pants, they’ll win me over.

Best post of the year. We are all being screwed from every direction. This particular issue is the least of my worries.

Unpopular among my brethren, but coaching changes are totally screwed too. Lane Kiffin was put in an impossible situation where if he wanted to leave he had to abandon a team prematurely, possibly costing us a National championship.

Going to LSU after the season would have been just as much of a dick move and we would be allowed to hate him in either case. We totally rehabbed him and changed his life, then he left for our biggest rival. About as sleazy as a coaching change gets no matter how you go about it. Now we are just left with a national championship sized hole in our hearts and a beautiful hatred of Lane. Only one of those things exists from a broken system.

The boos will ring in Oxford for a thousand years come week 3.

Proof? Don’t play with me

Just realized I said Navy - Blue - Gray vs LSU

Correction: Navy - Red - Gray vs LSU for the rest of time

The following rant is for me as much as anything, but it’s the only correct take out there.

We need a dual stripe on all of our pants just like we have on the grays. If we have powder blue helmets and numbers, we need powder blue and red dual stripe.
The dual stripe is unique to Ole Miss of all major brands. We need to lean in. Plain white is lame.

If we are matching up colors for helmets (not including white), jerseys, and pants, that gives us:

8-10 very clean and classic looks that everyone will know is Ole Miss when they look on the screen.

If you want to start mixing things up with white helmets and mixing and matching colors, we would have:

72 combinations without deviating from the iconic Ole Miss look.

All combos would have:

1. Single stripe helmet: Navy, Powder, White

2. Shoulder stripe jersey: Red, Navy, Powder + aways w/ Red, Navy, Powder numbers

3. Dual stripe pants: gray with navy/red stripe, gray with powder/red stripe, white with navy/red, white with powder/red.

3 helmets x 6 jerseys x 4 pants = 72

Add in the 3 color variations of a white helmet, you get 5x6x4 = 120 combos that don’t break the Classic Ole Miss rules. You could even keep going with navy helmet + powder stripe and logo…like 324 combos without deviating or dipping into red, blue, or powder pants or red helmets or anything. Not going to do the math on that. Y’all get it.

We are uniquely positioned to be simultaneously traditional and multiple. Like if Oregon and Alabama had a had a baby with way better colors.

I rest my case.

I find it very odd that anyone would be so fixated on the size of our Jumbotron. It’s already huge and I would imagine on the larger end of the college football Jumbotron spectrum. We are not lacking in the Jumbotron department. We are quite literally lacking in every other aspect of the stadium except the Jumbotron.

We playing this week?

I'm not far off from you here. I'm mainly talking about the outer facade, the red and white upper deck portion, and the red awning. I'm fine with a rebuild like the renderings like you posted, but it would be nice if there was some continuity. Just extend the style of the top portion and outer facade of the SEZ to the top portion and outer facade of the sidelines.

My only gripe with the newer renderings is that they changed the grade of stands which makes it look janky to me. I can live with that if the East and West match and the North and South match.

In the age of the megatron, I imagine they would put them in all four corners. Bama didn't have the foresight and has little dinky ones in the corner of Bryant-Denny. Very 2008 of them.
