They are better than I expected, but they are not LSU unis. I like our traditional "white jerseys, purple numerals, gold pants and head-gear" as old John Ferguson used to intone on the radio way back when, and see no reason to change for the sake of change. On these, Gold was mostly MIA, IMO.

No...it is NOT time for a change.

This whole Nike bullshite is the brainchild of Phil Knight and we don't need an athletic shoe guy changing our traditions to look like Oregon!

No bad as far as the Nike promotional outfits go, but never as a steady diet.

An experienced marketing guy taught me that to build a valuable brand you've got to avoid the temptation to redesign everything year after year.

Companies with the most valuable brands make small, incremental changes or none at all. See the famous Coke vs. Pepsi example below.

As cuddly as Toonces may look on your kid's tee shirt, I think it dilutes the LSU brand because it's nothing like the "real" tiger on the helmet.

And while the Pro Combat uniforms look fine, they're not LSU purple and gold in color. So in my opinion they're not good for the brand.

You need to go over to Skip Bayless's house so you can use his noose when he's done with it.

Hell No! Our traditional uniforms are an icon in college football.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I liked them. Don't get me wrong - I'm all for "tradition" - but these uniforms were a refreshing change and something a little different.

I liked the way the stripes around the should went all the way around like in the old days. Also if you look here at the ghost Tiger stripes on the Helmets you barely can see them I would like to see what that would look like on the Gold Helmets.



If you look at the neck in the center I like that little purple piece with the Tiger Face in it also. The numbers are a little to bold but they did look good. JMHO!

I'd like pro combats once a year. No more than that though.

Those uniforms were terrible, expect for the gloves


I actually feel the opposite way. I HATED these gloves. If it would have been OUR eye of the tiger and not some knock off generic eye, they would have been cool then. And the purple underarm stain I disliked.

Other than that, these are still 2nd to the 2009 pro combats IMO.
