Football Uniforms: Oregon Opts For White Vapor, Maryland Brings Back the State Flags
All, College Football November 2nd. 2012, 1:30pm
Oregon will wear their “White Vapor” uniforms against USC. These are Nike’s sleekest, fastest, most awesomest uniforms ever and have something called “chain maille.” That’s a coincidental, svelte No. 6 and totally not DeAnthony Thomas.
Maryland has opted to bring back the state flag uniforms in a vein-bulging black. The badass gaudiness is intentional, to disguise the fact they are starting a freshman linebacker at quarterback. The gloves should be a huge hit with Honda motorcycle enthusiasts.

i love every oregon uniform i have seen, although it is confusing.
November 2nd, 2012 at 1:38 PM
Menarky, you ready for the new Astros uniforms? We get to see actual non-leaked pictures tonight.
November 2nd, 2012 at 1:39 PM
I’d like the Maryland ones a lot more if the helmet was a solid matte black.
November 2nd, 2012 at 1:42 PM
I think they’re both OK. It was a white Maryland uni that had everybody so flipped out last year, wasn’t it?
November 2nd, 2012 at 1:44 PM
I loathe anything Oregon wears, but this one i might loathe the least.
November 2nd, 2012 at 1:44 PM
PAY THE INTERNS!

You’re like the asshole who can’t comment on a NYC/Hurricane post without working in a “Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s fault” in there.
November 2nd, 2012 at 1:46 PM
Go USC.
November 2nd, 2012 at 1:46 PM

it was basically the same thing as what’s above only white. they had the flag pattern on the compression under shirts, socks, and shoes.
November 2nd, 2012 at 1:47 PM
The technology behind Oregon’s uniforms is always very cool, if only they’d get rid of the dumb feather look on the shoulders and these would look nice.
November 2nd, 2012 at 1:47 PM

hell yes. i heard they were going back to the old navy and orange. is that what you heard?
November 2nd, 2012 at 1:48 PM
Duffy, don’t ever change.
November 2nd, 2012 at 1:49 PM
Surprised no team has come out in all black. Matte black helmets, shirts, pants, socks, gloves — everything. Just a nike check and a black school name that’s barely legible. That would be badass. Especially if it was like BYU.

Is vein-bulging supposed to be hyphenated? Because I have not a clue what you are trying to say otherwise.
November 2nd, 2012 at 1:50 PM
You mean exactly what oregon wore against USC last year?
November 2nd, 2012 at 1:50 PM
Why did the Astros waive Jordan Schafer? I remember him being pretty good for like 2 weeks last year.
November 2nd, 2012 at 1:50 PM
By far my favorite Oregon uni.
Oregon going full Stormtrooper on USC’s ass.

that would be cool.

Yes.
November 2nd, 2012 at 1:52 PM
that chain maiile shit will come in handy when the knives come out
November 2nd, 2012 at 1:53 PM
I take it back, Those weren’t exactly murdered out, but close. Completely murdered out black would be the tits.
November 2nd, 2012 at 1:55 PM
Because I have not a clue what you are trying to say otherwise.
“vein bulging black” is Cockney slang for V-shaped back
November 2nd, 2012 at 1:56 PM
The Ravens alt-blacks are lethal but they still have white numbers and the bird logo. There’s probably no way to make the numbers black-on-black due to officiating concerns, but I’d like someone to try.
November 2nd, 2012 at 1:56 PM
So this NYC Marathon is the thing the Internet/twitter has decided to get unnecessarily outraged over today. Cool.
November 2nd, 2012 at 1:58 PM
Oregon should play Marlyand, it would be a Nike guinea pig vs Under Armor guinea pig battle
November 2nd, 2012 at 1:58 PM
Are red, white, black and yellow really Maryland’s state flag colors?
November 2nd, 2012 at 1:59 PM
really? i greatly prefer their white/purp combo. i think the pants/socks make them look like they’re wearing leotards. makes the fat guys look even more ridiculous.
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:00 PM
Dude, there purple in those unis. Black, white, yellow and purple do not make an attractive uniform.
Teams that could pull it off – Raiders and Steelers.
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:00 PM
Does it matter? It’s purple. Purple always looks terrible. Especially with black.
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:01 PM
Yep.
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:01 PM
Yes
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:01 PM

November 2nd, 2012 at 2:02 PM
anyone see the new redskins helmets/uni’s for this weekend? i thought they were going to wear them last week vs the steelers.
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:02 PM
Ravens all black pants without a stripe makes them look ridiculous. Heinous.

As raycess of a name as Redskins may be, the skins helmet might be the best helmet in the league.

Back in the day, Colorado kinda did this – except with the gold helmet. And, the Saints have a home uniform that is solid black pants, black jersey, black socks, but with the gold helmet and gold numbers.
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:06 PM
No, athletic supporters.

It’s purple. Purple always looks terrible
False.

Yes.
Give me those Oregon Green tops and black pants with yellow helmet from about a month ago. Best I’ve ever seen
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:12 PM
No. I have no idea why so many people are apparently interested in uniforms (not just here).
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:12 PM
The only exception is K-State’s simplified purple (Kansas Blue is the actual name)and silver.
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:13 PM
I like purple and black and yellow and white together on my Insecticons toys from when I was 8. That looked pretty good
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:14 PM
Haha, Kansas Blue. Don’t the Lakers call their purple “Laker Blue”? It’s okay to be purple
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:15 PM
I think purple and black with an accent look incredible. Like Vegas Gold
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:16 PM

is it better than commonwealth flags too?
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:16 PM
Has K-State’s mascot taken out anymore children?
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:16 PM
I think it’s “forum blue” or something like that.
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:16 PM
This got proposed for Purdue. While badass, I’m afraid the inherent shit-tastic nature of the team would overshadow the uniform. Well, that and the fact that the AD thinks it’s still 1964 and things like alternate uniforms and “lights” are to be avoided at all costs
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:17 PM
Agree to disagree. I like green jerseys. Under used color.
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:18 PM
Just came to my attention that the pants I put on in haste this morning have a dog eaten hole in the crotch as the pupppy is wont to do. In my rush I went without underwear. At this juncture I am seriously considering politely insisting to a police officer to lock me up until Monday, the results of weekend eve are in and they are foreboding.
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:18 PM
I think teams need to pick one side and stick with it. Either be conservative and simple (PSU) or outlandish (above). I can’t stand the schools that either can’t decide (Mich) or are stuck in some awful purgatory (BC).
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:18 PM
I like green jerseys
Agree

UNC went with chrome domes last week
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:21 PM
Those fake leather helmets are perfect for a one-time/once-a-year alternate. I would hate to see them regularly but they are pretty awesome as a novelty.
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:21 PM
those are horrible. the spear logo is the best
any team could wear a pigskin-simulation helmet
he’s brian orakpo
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:22 PM
I’m a big fan of the Rutgers’ chrome domes they’ve been sporting all season.

It’s like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is, none. None more black.

Could you imagine the backlash if Ole Miss had some unis made up that incorporated the Confederate flag?

Meh. I don’t know. Too much like BC. They’re alright I guess.
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:37 PM
I love the flags that obviously represent the states who believe the war of northern aggression continues.

That pissed me off. I have no interest in UNC football what so ever but they fucked around with a great helmet. The tar heel helmet is fan fucking tastic.
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:43 PM
IT’S THE FOOT CLAN!!!!
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:43 PM
I like how they relatively recently banned the confederate flag in the stands. That 30 for 30 was pretty sobering about that shit. Seeing the band dressed up as soldiers, cheerleaders with the star and bars on their shirts. A lots of flags.
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:47 PM

i cannot, but i do appreciate the subtlety of some southern states using X designs on their flags
