OT: HornSports OFFICIAL Supercalafragalistic Team Uniform Thread

Louisville introducing "Black Out" uniforms for their opening ACC game against Miami.

I hope Louiseville gets to face off against Kansas in the Ridiculous Bird Helmet Bowl played at the San Antonio Zoo. Stay classy.

Call me "old school", but I like UIW's original 2012 helmet best.  New copyrighted logo is clean and sharp...not to mention ornithologically-correct.  Go Cardinals!

Northern Illinois shows off their collection of generic adidas gear.  The all-red is new for the Huskies.  Meh...

The Murray State Racers have a new helmet with checkerboard, jockey silk stripe.  Clever!

Illinois' new uniform is simple and stylish.  Thumbs up.  Nike did a complete brand identity for the Illini, too http://nikeinc.com/news/illinois-athletics-unveils-updated-brand-identity

Yup. Love the simple, updated look.

Whatever finish the Illini used for their orange helmets should work for UT, too!  Can't tell if that's matte or not.  I guess it looks better under certain lighting conditions?

Holy Toledo!  The Rockets got new UA uniforms this year.

Yeah, I'm on the fence with the matte helmets.

Sometimes it looks good with darker colors like black, navy, BU's hunter green, and aggie's maroon.  Other times, not so good - especially red.  I think lighting has a lot to do with its overall appeal.  Guess we'll find out with ISU this year.

All four Boise State helmets on display.  Overkill?

Interesting article on the Philadelphia Eagles problems with Nike matching their custom "midnight green" with various fabrics, both metallic and matte.  Apparently, colors look more consistent under bright lights with a matte finish.  Learn something new every day.

Good article JB!  Matching fabrics much harder than I thought, especially with the metallic colors.  

I'm not a fashionita but I know when types of fabric makes my butt look bigger.  I always thought UCLA should have metallic gold pants instead of matte gold. The matte gold is very unflattering to the lower body.  Same with the 49ers.  

They did have metallic gold pants for a short period of time:

The metallic gold pants are much tighter thus produces less of a muffin top effect.

That is how UCLA is supposed to look with their metallic gold pants matching their iconic helmet!  The shoulder stripes are the right length, too, unlike today's.  The Bruins had my favorite CFB home uniform until adidas screwed 'em up.

We definitely don't want to play vs UCLA in Arlington if they are sporting

Muffin tops. Oh wait, maybe they will play worse if their butts and hips don't look flattering! Seriously, UCLA does have a classy uniform pedigree when done correctly as with JBs prior post.
