It all has to do with memories and reminders. People don't like our current uniforms because they are a reminder of Sumlin. People like the '98 throwbacks because they are a reminder of a championship team and a pretty dominant era in Aggie football.
From purely a design perspective, the current uniforms are great. Bringing in history, adding in a modern style, and still keeping things simple (exact opposite of schools like Oregon). But no one can seem to get past the bad memories they evoke. The '98s were great to bring back as throwbacks, but are nothing special as a design and kinda look like a practice jersey.
That's false because the uniforms we wore during the Sherman and Fran years were very similar to what what we wore in the 90's and they still looked 100 times better than the current uniforms Sumlin introduced.
The matte helmets with grey face mask are terrible
The bevel numbers are beyond terrible
The stripes are too busy
Those are Sumlins changes
