I don't agree at all but I can see how an outsider can believe too much brown is a bad thing.

Too much Brown is never a bad thing. ;0) As long as we win, we could wear pink and Fuchsia for all I care.

I don't know that they're the worst unis in college football, but the all brown look in the picture above is really effing awful.

AFAIC, Brown should be reserved for a few stripes or something and NEVER a primary color. The current brown jerseys are a bit better than the boring ass all brown with white letters/numbers on 'em that we saw in the past, but they're still pretty bad. And pairing them with Brown helmet & pants? blech...

Still, I imagine there are worse uniforms out there somewhere. I still am NOT a fan of the Maryland helmets. And the "classic" uniforms that Alabama and Penn State use are garbage as well. I almost gotta give us respect for TRYING to look more modern...that has to count for something, I suppose.

We disagree. A few brown stripes are lost in a sea of orange. I think brown a great primary color. It's distinctive. It's ours. We should embrace it.

That said, the all brown look was not my favorite this past season. Some orange is good, too.

I liked this look a lot:



The reverse combination (like the Falcons wore in the 1980s) would be great, too.

The only thing I don't like about our uniforms is that they look like they were designed in 20 seconds in Microsoft Paint. I love the brown, and the all-brown look slowly grew on me over the course of the game they wore it. Not to mention, no credible list of ugly football uniforms would be complete without mentioning Admiral Fleck's affinity for oars.

I love the options we have with our current set, but I can't get over the random font used for "bowling green".

It's like Nike couldn't be bothered using or falcon font or something. The orange "bowling green" font doesn't even match the orange of the numbers/pants/helmet.

Not a big fan of the different colored sleeves.

My fix.... drop the color sleeves, use the correct font/orange for the front lettering.

Couldn't agree more with all of that. When it comes to uniforms, we'll never get universal agreement from everyone on what looks best. I love the fact that we currently have a lot of different options with what we have now and can change it up and aren't stuck with the same look. If you don't like what we're wearing one week, then stick around til the next week. Aside from the tweaks mentioned by webboy, I think our uniforms are awesome and set us apart from the crowd in a good way.

The folks at Athlon are entitled to their opinions.......and they're also entitled to kiss my brown, orange and white azz

I agree with this. I also agree with Beaker that, overall, this is a very good uniform set.

I also agree that these are one of the better sets we've had in awhile. I hate the all brown/brown/brown look, but these Brown jerseys are by far the best of our browns in recent memory. And I like the style overall better than what we've had in the recent past with Adidas, etc.

Love that we've got so many combos that we can wear something different nearly every week.

I know a lot of people complain about the wording down the pants legs (The Browns have the same thing), but I like it. I like the new Browns jerseys as well though...hell I even purchased a Brown Cleveland jersey, because I love the orange numerals on 'em (yes, they're harder to READ, but I like the look).

I have odd taste in unis though, and I'll readily admit that. I hate beyond words the PSU, Alabama, Nebraska etc jerseys. So bland and boring, all in the name of tradition. To me Baylor & Oregon are the pinnacle of NCAA jerseys. Which brings me to something I'd REALLY love to see here. Don't be so hung up on using the "official color codes". Orange is an awesome color with the ability to come out with a bright eye-popping shade on an alternate jersey. I'd love to see us go that route. Baylor & Oregon have those neon yellows that look sweet, would be cool to see us come out with a neon orange sometime.

I know, it's not traditional, but I like the eye popping looks.

Personally i can't stand the all brown unis. They make us look amateur.

[MarkL]

My all time favorite still is the brown jerseys we wore in select 06 and 07 games. The team may have been completely outmatched by Wisconsin but they looked sharp.

[Falconfreak90]

Those were sweet, Mark....

Unlike a certain team upcoming on our schedule, our team actually is amateur.

I always wished we had a brown version of this template which I think was the best adidas template we used. Our font, orange & brown accent colors, only way to improve would be to have BOWLING GREEN wordmark and the aforementioned brown jersey.

Those would be the exact jerseys I hated. Beauty really is subjective...
