These may literally be the ugliest alternate uniforms I've ever seen.  I can't believe these got signed off on.

We're laughing right now, but it's probably just a matter of time before the swoosh pushes something equally hideous on us.  I mean, the smokey grays look really good, but after that last game, we may want to burn them.  And I'm scared to imagine what will replace them.

36 of the 38 uniforms Oregon wears are just as bad.

I hate Oregon's unis.  But IMO even they aren't THIS bad.

IMO, UF's regular unis are the ugliest in the SEC.  I thought that they couldn't make them even worse.  I thought wrong.

Agree....But after A&M runs them out of the stadium this weekend they will probably never be seen again

Do uniforms actually help recruiting? As a color blind middle-aged dude with no fashion sense I'm saying no. Sure the kids may like something, and it's likely the gimmick helped a once-obscure program like Oregon get noticed, but if a kid likes a coach or program the uniform has to be an afterthought.

Bama and USC don't seem to need cool. Whew. It's after my bedtime.

I wonder if they were inspired by Jared Lorenzen's Arena League duds:

That pic is several years old.  He's even bigger now- over 500 lbs, in fact.

Actually Herb, I like the Smoky Grays. 
As a once a year thing they aren\t bad.  They are most decidely as ugly as a lot of alternate unis and the swoosh versions are better than the 3 stripers

Everyone knows my feelings about Nike.  So believe me, I wanted to hate the smokey grays, I really did.  But I think they look great (dammit).  Though after the UGA game, we might have seen the last of them.  And I'm worried that whatever we get to replace them will be an affront to everything we hold sacred.

I understand, and it's each to his own.  The alternate unis are part of the game today.

But why in the world would we wear gray uniforms at home on a day when the fans are doing an orange and white checkerboard in the stadium?  That just made no sense to me.
