Horrid.  I'm going to be upset if our helmets change.

Alabama has one of the most basic uni's in CFB.  IMO we don't need uniform gimmicks.  The results on the field should sell the program.

I agree. But change, as much as I hate it, is inevitable. It's going to happen to some extent this year. And as much as these kids like this stuff, expect to see more radical changes in the future.

Sigh, it's true.  But, sigh.

I think we're finding out that bammer "sells their program" in other ways, too. #struggleoverwit :frown:

I've always been resistant to uniform change at UT, but I guess the years of losing have worn me down.  If today's recruits are so damn shallow that uniform design actually factors in their decision, then by god, let's give them what they want.  I just want to win again. :dunno:

Not all the young kids are for this I'm 22 and much rather prefer the basic unis with the rotate black jerseys for Halloween games. Nothing without the Orange Power T on the Helmet its not Tennessee without it.

GO VOLS!!!    :powert:

Honestly, my only concern is the product on the field. If uniform changes /helmet changes are attractive to recruits, then go for it.

Within reason, this is where I am too. I don't want to be Oregon and I want traditions respected, but getting creative with the uniforms for players and recruits is perfectly fine by me.
