I'm not sure. I'd have to look at the uniform history prior to my arrival in 2002 but I reckon he doesn't want us to have a billion different helmet and uniform combinations so that will play into the design

Would like to see us get some kind of metallic-colored helmet. I believe some kind of unusual/unique type looking uniforms would bring us some more attention. It would be helpful for recognition purposes, since we are independent and new FBS members. We can always go back to more traditional later.
Since we are not going to win many games until we have a coaching change, we might as well look good getting our butts kicked. 8)

Ha! Well can’t say this isn’t true :lol: . Consider this; a metallic helmet that expose a flame pattern when any light hits it.

The helmets are what need the most attention. I like all 3 pants and the red jerseys and white jerseys. Also like the matte helmet. Hateee the blue jersey especially the shoulder stripes and the white and blue helmets.

I would love to see a white matte helmet with the logo in red or the same as the red matte in blue.

I dont mind some metallic but im not sure our logo is conducive to it.

The white helmet is my favorite.

Why helmets? LU should be trend setters! Experts say the chance of concussions would actually DECREASE if players no longer wore helmets!

We tend to wear the LU logo helmets on the road. I wish he had the screamin eagle on all three.

I agree that the blue jersey needs the most work.

I do think we should always be in Red jerseys at the Bill.

If we can get chrome helmets in red and blue; that would be pretty nice. I also would rather our mascot features on some jerseys in the future. Don’t we have someone who can design some ideas and still keep it traditional?

This I agree with. The 50th anniversary of the school and of the football program are both very quickly approaching and I'd love to see something special for that, and not let it be lost in a sea of alternates designed to make us look cool for high school football players

What did JB used to say? "Be early, wear red..." (unless you are the FB team). :wink:

Yeah, no reason to do anything that would be cool or attract high school football players. We don't need them. :roll:

What I mean is that an alternate uniform ought to have some level of significance to it. Like I said, the 50th anniversary of the school and the football program are both coming soon. I think having an alternate (or some alteration thereof), would be a great idea, but not if it simply is another uniform out of a boatload of combinations

And this my support for reds only at home.
