I guess I'm the only one who thought they looked chincy...they didn't match at all...there was no orange in them anywhere.

I would consider buying a brown jersey in a store before the normal home or away ones. Those were sweet.

Actually, I think the equipment guy said they were modeled on the Unis we wore before, not to match want the bottoms were. That's why they looked a little queer.

such a classic look! major props to whoever came through with that design! with some of the fashion abominations that have popped up in college football this year, that brown/white look was a definite winner!

They looked very familiar to what we used to see on the field! Of course I graduated "aroound then" :wink: . I loved them. When we went to the pumpkin all orange look- that took a little getting used to. But, hey- as long as it is BROWN and ORANGE- (ok white too) I'll cheer!

I love them, but of course I'm biased.

I do have a hard time convincing people around here that (burnt) Orange and (seal) Brown are not ugly when mixed.

The brown jerseys looked incredibly sharp.

Apparently, nobody knew about them- not even the players. They went back into the locker room after their pre-game warm-up to find the brown jerseys waiting for them.

I think I stopped playing my mellophone for a moment when they ran out through the tunnel during the fight song and said something like, "oh my gosh, those are so cool!!"

I would give my left pinky toe to have NORMAL stripes put back onto the pants.

I love that look. They should bring it back.

Oh yes we did - SW-MI FALCON e-mailed me a few days before the game. Evidently his source was a friend of the .......sorry, but I don't want to get the kid in trouble.

lol, I did just about the same thing. Stopped playing, looked sideways at the girl next to me and said wide-eyed, "Love the brown jerseys!!!"

I went crazy when I saw the Brown. I think Mrs. Freak was like "Calm down you moron...they're only jerseys."

After I explained it to her, she was cool with it.

MORE BROWN!!
