Both teams in maroon and white today. Something like 4 turnovers with another 5 near interceptions on top of that. The turnovers we saw today were a complete anomaly for the A&M team this year.

There is absolutely no reason to make it harder on the team to play the game with bad uniform choices that impact decision making and confidence for our QB.

Especially when our coaching staff wears black but our players wear the same colors as their competition.

That's on the the football program and athletic department. Get it fixed.

Make it a M/M/M vs W/W/W game

Exactly. It was clear as day the players were struggling with differentiating the teams.

Felt like watching an intrasquad scrimmage

I sure hope that affected CW today...he needs to play against some bright yellow or orange defenders

Agreed, was hard just watching to tell on many plays, so I know it had to be difficult on the field to tell

Agreed. Maximal contrast. Even if it didn't affect CW (who was not good today) it sure did suck to watch.

It really is hard to fathom how nobody thought there might be a problem with this.

I was going to post this. We absolutely should have gone all white

huge opportunity for the first mover on this. new colors:
  • football leather brown
  • football field green
  • white
worth a 3-point swing in every game

or how about these for new colors:
  • dollar bill green
  • gold bar gold
  • Texas crude black
to reflect our approach to the NIL era

You'd think the Ags and MSU would have coordinated ahead of time. Give the home team first choice of M/W combo and go from there…

It's a shame bc I actually love the color combo we had today. M-W-M. Harkens back to the old Wrecking Crew days. It's a great look imo. But yeah it really did look like an intersquad

I agree. Today's jersey combo is by far my favorite road jersey, but for this game. It should absolutely be w/w vs m/m.

It was addressed. A&M and Mississippi state along with every other opponent discuss uniforms. A&M agreed to this.

Also - it seemed the maroons have gotten more similar. Probably an Adidas thing but it made it exceptionally disconcerting to watch. And I absolutely think it affected Weigman.

And that's the problem. It was a braindead decision

I don't give a d*mn what we wear as long as we keep winning, as long as it's not burnt orange.

Yes, it was our fault. MSU made the ******ed request to wear white helmets and we agreed.

No mixing of colors going forward.

What made it difficult for me to watch was the shadows on the field

Even the announcers were fooled and commented on the uniform confusion.

Wondering if it's a good idea to reassign someone from the DEI office to the athletic department who is an expert on colors.

Maybe have a dedicated person assigned to assist in choosing an opposite color configuration.

Was it against State that we wore the awesome Gun Metal grey uniforms one year? Those were cool.

I mean, this would be the most productive use of TAMU's DEI resources in its entire history of having DEI resources

The ones with the chrome helmets where we got dick stomped with Kenny trill at the helm? Yes

Yep

Every time we go to Starkville we should wear all white or grey or black

Watching the replay right now, the uniform choices are not bothering me.

CW won't have that excuse this week.
