I want a purple and gold casket and a white jersey draped over it, and a helmet sticker on the lid.

What is it with all these schools changing their logos, unis, etc.????

PS
I created this user profile a few weeks ago, but this post proves how pertinent I consider the sentiment.

PPS
'Bamas helmets are the most perfectly understated and recognizable helmet in the country. If I had to put a college football helmet picture in the dictionary I'd choose theirs. Of course, LSU's is much more intimidating...

personally, the color scheme could be better if it were mixed with more dark. yellow/white/yellow is horrible.

Ugly?!? So what?!? I want the ugliest most manly uni I can possibly find on my football team. Fashion is for programs that want to sell overpriced crap to kids at Foot Locker; I'll take "ugly" tradition any day over trying to stay fashionable.

This is what happens when fruity brand identity starts trumping hard-nosed college football tradition: LINK

I think we need a helmet/color/uniform change.

Have we turned into Ole Myth when I wasn't looking? This is the type of debate those tards have.

if winning is what really counts, then why not make some changes, right? what difference does it make as long as we are winning?

Obviously a chick.

If not, I'd suggest looking into it.

Only change i would make is to change the LSU on the helmet to the geaux font. Someone photoshopped it on here once and it looked pretty damn good.

1. You are saying that we have ugly uni's correct?
2. "Football" and "Fashion" do not belong anywhere near each other. Why don't we make sure all of the towels are washed in warm water an pressed and starched before the game too. Hopefully the jockstraps will be washed in Woolite and smell like a bouquet of freaking spring flowers. While we are at it, can we please make sure that every OLineman has their cuticles pushed back to avoid any hangnail injuries?

exactly how is yellow/white/yellow tough or intimidating? it's not. according to you, every football team should wear gray and black.

i love the stripes. don't care for the block numbers. like the helmet but it could be improved by changing the tiger. it's too small and too detailed to make any sense if you're further than 1 foot away from it. i prefer our purple jerseys to balance out the yellow.

i think it's very cool when teams experiment with unis although i quite satisfied to see the traditional uni for most games as long as it's not va tech.

this lady in yellow is...


Wolverine is yellow...


This arrow is intimidating...


These yellow guys are kinda intimidating...


Need I go on?
All I am saying is that I don't think unis have to be "purdy" when there is tradition involved. I am all for trying something new now and then, but leave well enough alone.

At least Wolverine has some dark blue to contrast with the yellow, not to mention the fangs and claws.

A darker purple would be good, or gold instead of yellow. Or both. I will bleed purple and gold (yellow) either way.
