re: New uniforms announcement Soon???

Everything has everything to do with losing. No factor is too small to be insignificant. That's how stats work. The uniforms may only be ever-so-slightly causationally related to the outcome of the game, but every factor matters.

For example on how uniforms can affect the outcome of a game: The QB is used to spotting players down field wearing a specific white jersey, yellow pants, and yellow helmet. Change that up and everything he is accustomed to looking for is different. That affects his performance. Especially when the team only ever wears one uniform combination. What he is used to looking for is now a totally different color--whether he admits it or makes a point to say it is irrelevant. It's all about conditioning and changing a uniform drastically affects the brain's and eye's conditioning.

Every factor has consequences on performance. Weather, humidity, personal stress, crowd interaction, what you had for lunch, and yes, even the uniforms.

The fact of the matter is that since the team has been doing alternate uniforms they are 8-4. Under Coach O they are 1-1 with a loss to Troy at home on homecoming. If the uniform was a significant factor would you keep using them? Because you'd call for firing the coach on an 8 win season. So why keep using flashy uniforms when the team wins 66% of it's games in them?
