What do you think of all these new alternate uniforms it seems every team has?

I'm not a fan of this current trend as they mess w/ teams that have classic looks. The only uniform of Arizona State that I tolerate is the Maroon/white jersey, mustard pants & helmet. It lacks Sparky, the trident on the helmet doesn't look right to me. They also have almost as many uniform combinations as Oregon.

Sometimes they hit the mark, I like Missouri's tiger that they wore on their helmet against Georgia. I don't like Arizona but I like their uniforms & colors but couldn't stand the gold helmet they wore today.

I like the traditional wide "W" that everyone is used to seeing, and they should have a little badger on the uniform somewhere.

I too miss Sparky. Looks like the Sun Devils are headed for a better season than the UofA.

Good luck until THE game.

Some of the new uniforms are cool, others not so much. For Oklahoma, I don't mind the occasional tweak or throwback uniform, but I don't have any desire to see black jerseys or carbon helmets or anything like that.

I don't mind ASU's trident so much, but I did like the old logo better. I agree with you about Arizona's gold helmets. Those were well and truly hideous.

Watching Oregon last night was annoying... they had players' names in light gray on white - what's the point of that? They were unreadable.

While the look of uniforms evolves it shouldn't just be the latest whim of some designer at Nike.

We'll see how ready they really are for football after their visit next Saturday to Ohio State...More to prove.
