The good news is they're targeting 16-21 year olds, not adults.


Then why are they selling them for $135 on lsushop?

Nike isn’t targeting the players, they’re targeting the people who will buy the jersey. The game is just an ad for the jersey.

What color does the helmet change too?
MY guess would be purple to gold

Because that's what Nike jerseys cost these days

Not sure about all that. I don't think they do all the alternates at Oregon just to sell jerseys.

That’s legit. Change it permanently and just wear the traditional uniforms 3 or 4 times a year.

I love the experimentation with the purple helmet. Would have been cool to keep the original white jersey and pants style to go with it IMO but other than the weird arse number font it's hard to find anything to HATE about this combination as a one game alternate. And I'm pretty much a jersey traditionalist.

Watch how often it's discussed by players and recruits.

As I mentioned earlier, they're not trying to appeal to you.

They might be cool. It's just one game.

How so? The alternates are usually developed in house at the schools that choose to have them. Nike has no say on when a school has them, or if a school has them.

Because a few goofballs will buy them.

Like I said, watch how much it's discussed and praised by the team and recruits.

All that matters is if players and recruits like them. If they are happy and we play harder I’m happy. As the great George costanza said
quote:

Imagine playing games and your team is five degrees cooler than the other team. Don't you think that would be an advantage? They're cooler, they're more comfortable...they're happier - they're gonna play better.

Right. My point was the reasoning behind the alternate is to make people buy another jersey.

Obviously Oregon is the exception and you know that. One off alternates for teams like LSU are a cash grab first and a fun thing for the players second.

I don't hate it. I have a feeling they'll look a lot better in person.
