Ran across this article on BleacherReport website:

I've never been a big fashionista re: uniforms, but football fashion is big in college football. So, I'm changing my opinions/prejudices, etc. I had no use for black in Griz uniforms, but I think it's the thing. The black uniforms in the Griz/Cat game w/ the halloween orange was not good, IMO.

All black would be ok, if say, the numbers were silver w/ gold piping. Maybe have Griz paw prints in silver on the shoulders like the duck feathers on Duck uni's. "White" uniforms would be silver and have black nos. w/ gold piping. Paw prints would be in gold. Pants would have simple stripes on the outside, colored like the jerseys. Hate to admit it, but maroon has to be out. It's important that the light color is silver and not gray. There is a difference, IMO.

Helmets: I like the flat black helmets of the Ducks. Black helmets would have the Griz logo in silver w/ maybe gold outline. Maybe a silver stripe w/ gold outline, center, front to back. Silver helmets would have the Griz logo in black, outlined w/ gold. Or, maybe gold outlined w/ black. The center stripe would be black w/ gold outline, or gold w/ black outline.

Shoes & gloves: Black shoes w/ silver accent for black uni's, silver shoes w/ black accent for silver uni's. Gloves, the same.

I prefer player names on the back of jerseys, because hate to admit it, I forget player names esp. when watching on TV. (I am not a Griz football cognoscenti. I like to see who's getting up from a pile. Announcers ignore a lot. Also, I don't have to keep flipping to the program.) "MONTANA" on the front, above the no., is fine.

Other eGrizzers may have other ideas & they have said so in earlier topics. Maybe Willie could post a rendition of what I've described. No?
 
Uniforms? Who cares, go out there in glorified practice jerseys, as long as everyone has the same color and has a number that is all that is needed. A uniform has never won a game in the history of sports...Period!
 
Yeah, but it's been a pretty big deal on this board & elsewhere. I do like the maroon & silver & no black when all's said & done. But, if black is big, then there's my suggestion. ;)
 
The black is ok. I hated the halloween look though. I always thought the best uniform look we've had was the all maroon look. If we could spice that up with some griz paws a la oregon's duck wings (as suggested by others) and a sweet silver helmet like the one from cat-griz last year, I think it'd look saaa-weeeeeet!
 
As far as I know the uniforms are set for several years at a time, and since the ones the Griz are currently wearing just came fresh out of the sweatshops, they'll be wearing them for a few more seasons. They're not too bad. Actually they've sorta grown on me...

Nonetheless, here's a cool suggestion: An all-silver third uniform for special occasions. It could have either maroon or copper trim and numbers, but it would look really sweet, especially for night games.
 
I feel a rupture coming on. Care about uniforms? Pink and yellow like bobcat pee colors? Who cares?

Uhh.... wrong. The Griz only wear jerseys for two years at a time, probably new ones next season.

Not if you go by the previous jerseys (the stripey shoulder ones). They were worn for three seasons, from '07-'09. But maybe it varies, so I don't know if it's always three.

Yeah those ones. How many times did you beat the Griz in those jerseys?
 
HaHaha!! I'd heard that Hauck liked to joke around, but he was typically pretty stone-faced when he was on official grizzly business. Guess he went to Spencer's Gifts, but I can't believe he'd wear something like that nor that he let someone get his photo in it...Hello blackmail!!!

No to all silver. See the Bobcats in all gold last week. It was ugly. All silver would be just as bad.

Egrizzers IQ average has now dropped to 23.

Haha...I hate to say it, but I thought the cat uniforms last weekend were badass! I bet all silver (or pewter) would be just as cool, but I guess its a pretty subjective thing.
 
...We will probably look back on this period in college football like the short shorts era in basketball. WTF? The "We need these abstract mulitple choice who vomited the Early Times and Pizza Look" fad hopefully goes away. Do the Griz have to do this for recruting reasons. Really? I understand that we have changed the color concept every couple of years forever. But these new style of uniforms are hard to look at. Sad that a uniform is what creates buzz for a team, instead of it's play on the field(see Maryland) .

Again I understand this is the trend in College football. My opinion is not going to make it go away. If the kids are having fun with them who am I to say they suck. I just hope like most trends they fade away..Like a 80's hair metal love ballad.
 
i'm one of those that really likes all the creativity of the new unies. but i really am digging the new nike combat gloves!
