Because the fewer people who have to look at those things the better! LSU should look like LSU not Maryland or Oregon!

Step away from the computer. It's not as if LSU has worn the arched LSU and roaring tiger forever.

OF Course some of the Rantards love it. They are either still in HS or living with their mom

no it doesn't my friend.. you can see the texture outlines on the eye of the tiger.. i'm almost positive that is the helmet.. i'll talk to my friend who is on the team tonight and find out exactly what's going to happen... stay tuned..

oh and before some fricktard brings it up:


Uniforms have never, ever, not once, swayed a recruits decision. That is a myth.

Here's the deal. I grew up bleeding purple and gold just like the rest of you, and love our traditions. Specifically when it comes to this conversation we've got uniforms that have aged fairly well with minor tweaks from year to year.

I now live in Oregon, work for Nike, and get slapped across the face with Oregon Ducks propaganda every single day. In no way has that propaganda changed my opinion on them or any other Pac12 team, they all play pansy arse football.

BUT, the one thing I've seen first hand and cant turn a blind eye towards is an increasing amount AND quality of the recruits that Oregon pulls in. Color me a worker bee, but Nike is the #1 reason that Oregon has seen this increase.

Read here for a more impartial take on my statement.

So when Nike and the football team do something to push the envelope, even just a little. Don't bash it just because its new.

Recruits LOVE the newest and best unis, socks, cleats, helmets, base layers and gloves almost as much as winning. If you don't believe this, please spend time with a highly recruited high schooler in any sport.

They pay attention to uniforms more than you think.

Toonces withheld, the more stuff Nike does with the Tigers, the better. Telling Nike "shove these abominations" shows that some people don't get it. And saying that some "rantads love it, they are still in HS" even furthers my point. Because the last time i checked, almost ALL recruits are High Schoolers.

And last thing, the eye of the tiger logo has been part of the program for how long now? Not only is it bad arse, its not exactly "breaking tradition" to use it in an unexpected way (helmets or otherwise), its just smart. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, just recognize that our uniform's "beauty" isn't meant to entice your arse to get off the couch and strap on the pads, its meant to snag the eye of a MUCH younger target.

this is what LSU will be wearing tomorrow, were also changing out names to the Eagles for the game... screw tradition
