Coolest football UNIforms

I would prefer what we had way back when in Cap'n Cat's days, when there was the Purple Jersey, Gold Helmet, Gold Pants. Pants had the purple and while stripe and I'd prefer solid gold. Kind of like the Washington Huskies uniforms.

The black pants aren't bad, I just wish they'd tuck their shirt in. Hanging out just looks sloppy and it gives defenders something else to grab.

Purple or gold pants for sure; get rid of black....

Pantherpower I agree with you on the uniforms. As for the gold jersey, I owe one as I bought it from the athletic department. They wore these when they played SIU honoring 100 years of football at UNI. As for the black pants why do they have pants when they are not a offical color of the colors for UNI?

Purple on purple we be about the worst uniform combination possible. My old high school has it, and it is bad.

[CanuckPanther]

Black is a horrid colour, or lack of colour....

I also bothers me that the shades of purple are not consistent from helmet to jersey to pants. All purple would be a nice once-in-a-while thing. My most ideal uniform would be purple helmet, white jersey, purple pants.

White pants and Gold jersey.

I just want the away pants to not look blue when on tv

Remember the Gold unis they wore for one game in the 90s??? I think Peppers and the OP still have one on display. Those were cool!!

hmm, maybe you should have borrowed Reed's Goldmember avatar for this post

As for the black pants why do they have pants?

umm.....
if they stop wearing pants, I'm going to have to stop watching the football games.
(while I did watch and perhaps even participate in naked soccer in my collegiate days, it was co-ed which made it far more interesting. hehe)

Call me old school but aren't the school colors purple and gold? Off colors need to be used in the striping or collars to accentuate the purple and gold. Not a big fan of black socks.

[oldcat]

I'm with you Northwest..............black socks........yuck!! PP, I like your idea of going back to the gold pants.

Black pants are nasty.

What I was trying to state before I had to catch a urgent phone call. Was WHY do we have black pants when that is not even the offical school color.

Agreed...why does Nebraska refer to their defense as the "Blackshirts?"

People associate the color black with toughness.

Case in point: AC/DC Back in Black, Metallica's Black Album, etc.
