re: Purple Jerseys + White Pants

Why all of a sudden does everyone want to go all Oregon and play mix and match with traditional uniforms? That kind of stuff is good for programs that are attempting to establish their program with some kind of "Wow" factor but schools like LSU, bama, nd, michigan, etc have TRADITION that includes their uniforms and colors and don't need to re-create themselves every weekend. I understand nike, or whoever, may throw a ton of money at a traditional program every now and then and has them wear something a little different but all of this mixing and matching drives me nuts, is this football are a fashion show run by queer eye for the football guy?
