I like em. Cutting edge yet still classy and somewhat traditional. Gloves are sick, i want a pair for holding my cold beer in the winter months.

Me too. In general, not a fan of the alternative uniform, especially in a year where Maryland looked like vomit and UGA looked like a late term abortion.

I can dig these though. Much better than what we wore against Arky a few years ago.

What??? The Bengals helmets are trash! Tiger stripes have no place on any uniform or male piece of clothing!!

Guess everyone missed that debate.

I'm not saying we go to that design, but I like that little touch for this one occasion.

ETA: I went to Patterson for 2 years. Ike Hilliard was a year ahead of me.

I'm sure that I'm in the minority, but those are freaking awesome. Looking forward to seeing our guys stomp Auburn in these.

I have always been more traditional myself, but I also understand recruits like this stuff. I like these much better than most they have rolled out for other teams. Subtle yet different. Good Job by Nike on this one.

I have used the 07 comm. helmet and pants with out white jersey on NCAA 12 a few times to get the all white uni and it looks good.

edit* yeah the shirt in the second pic is pretty sweet. might need to find one of those if they become available for my kid, don't need a 35 year old running around in that.

I'm over this "new uniform" fad.

I like them. It's something totally different than any other helmets out there.

I wonder if they wear the cleats in practice for a week or two beforehand. I'd hate to put on a new pair of cleats that I'd never worn before right before a big game.

Also, I wonder if they have a high-top cleat model. A lot of the linemen that I knew in HS and college preferred to wear a 3/4 or high-top cleat for the additional ankle support it adds when taped up.

Overall, I like the way they look. Definitely like the old gold, and I like the way the hip and thigh pads are actually integrated into the compression shorts.

agree, Solid White would have been fine also but the added touch is nice and not over the top.

I don't think those are tiger stripes. Looks like a picture. Maybe it's the same picture that is on the under shirt?

Man I think it looks sharp. I really want to see an up close look to see all the tiger stripe detailing that is supposed to be in the helmets and jersey numbers.

I like changing things up every now and then, but those uniforms are just ugly.

Gloves are pretty bad. The pants could use a stripe. Not sold on the armpits.


But overall...not bad. Our PCs aren't bullshite from outer space like UGA's. All white looks damn good.


And like someone mentioned, I'd be interested in seeing last years helmet on this years PC.

I think the uniforms actually look better than they originall did on the manikin. We'll see how it looks in person. My only problem is with the gloves. I'm not really sure what they were going for; they just look off.
