Who would have thought the day would come when a school wearing their actual colors would be considered a radical idea.

Black and gray are neutral colors, just like white. When we start wearing blue or yellow you're free to panic

'Cool Gray 11' is considered a support color in the A&M Brand Guide. http://t.co/B3aQlpAym1

This. I think it's ridiculous that a recruit's opinion of where to attend is so swayed by something so stupid ("no I'd rather go play in some near-Arctic location with a crappy rep as long as the unis are cool!") but if that's the way it is.....that's the way it is. Bring em on.

But in the case of Oregon

Our pitch is that every three years, each recruit who comes here will have a chance to work with Nike, and not only design the colors, but the product, and the look. Some of 'em get really into it, and some of them are actually working at Nike as designers.

Not to worry. New and exciting can become boring as well and one day everything that was old will be new again.

Nothing says new and exciting like gray.

^^^^ My thoughts exactly. What's more bland and boring?

Hey, I'm with you.

I said this earlier in the year when more schools were pulling out the greys

IMHO grey looks good in an advertisement that has been edited in photoshop, but in reality is quite boring

My new and exciting comment is about moving away from the traditional look to appeal to recruits. That's why we're seeing some ridiculous combinations and awful color schemes, but eventually it will become so common it will be perceived as boring and old school.

A cyclical trend.

My main problem with this incarnation is that it will appear to the public as a copy cat maneuver.

I think at this point, with so many teams having alt jerseys, it is no longer a copy cat maneuver. It more of a "keeping up with the times" maneuver.

If the public sees it as anything, they'll see it as TAMU keeping up with the latest in football fashion trends. They'll tweet about it. Everyone at Adidas will take notice. Adidas will make us an all pink BCA uniform to wear next year. And then you will all be wishing we were in gray and not hot pink, because the gray jerseys really aren't that bad.

I am partial to maroon and white.

Are you also partial to winning? Because this is part of the answer.

Absolutely! Look at how tricked up Bama's uniforms are. Or Auburn's. Or LSU's. Or Florida's. Everyone knows kids won't play for a program that has less than 15 alternate uniforms.

Old Army is so foolish!

Florida has worn a lot of alternates, even LSU has a few times over the past few years

I like it

Gray looked terrible on tceh, osu, and tennessee. if that picture is right it will look terrible on us. Now the light gray pants with the maroon jerseys and helmets we wore a few years ago were great.

See, that's where you're wrong. It doesn't matter if it looks ridiculous. All recruits are the same, and all recruits love wild-ass tricked out uniforms, regardless of whether or not they look good. That's why tceh, osu, and tcu regularly destroy Bama in recruiting.
