Away uniform.

Sorry for the size. Hope to see some orange pants. Brown is fine, but it looks like it is the new primary, which would be a huge downgrade. Also, really surprised the helmet didn't change at all.

Image

Also looks like, Falcons, is down both sides of the pants.

We are smart to embrace brown, Almost no one else uses it. Brown means that when our team runs onto the field or appears on ESPN, everyone will know at a glance that it is us.

Western Michigan is embracing brown again, and it looks good.

With that said, I wouldn't object to seeing orange pants mixed in with the brown home jerseys and with the white away jerseys.

Also, if we want to nitpick, I'm not sure I care for Falcons down the side of the pants.

But those are minor details. Overall, I really like what they did here. More brown? I'm down.

I love the new look, at least in the photos. If we are going to have orange/white/brown in both pants and jerseys, as well as at least 2 helmets, we can do different combos week to week to constantly change up the look. I'm betting these things will look a lot better in action on the field and most of those with negative opinions will warm up to them. They'll look a lot better if the team plays really well! If nothing else, it gives us something to talk about and ramps up anticipation for the season.

I think they'll look sharp on the field, especially the orange and whites. The brown will look good for night games at home in November under the lights, not sure how well they'll translate in sunlight as they're kind of a darker shade of brown.

Like the white uni.

The old brown jerseys were far better. These look very close the Fubu Browns jerseys.

I like that we have more combinations and colors to choose from now, and you sure as hell know our kids do too. I'm not a fan of when we wear the same color jersey and pants no matter what color our helmet is. I'm just not a fan of brown on brown, or orange on orange or white on white, but when you mix and offset the jersey and pants with orange on white, white on orange, brown on orange, etc., I think it looks much better IMO. I am looking forward to some of the combinations we come out with this season though.

Anyone know if we are getting a full reveal with all the combos, or are these few images it?

Really like the orange jersey. Not the biggest fan of the Brown but I do think it is improvement over the past brown jerseys. Brown screams boring to me on a football jersey but these are decent looking.

For some reason, I really like the sleeve with the different color. I don't know why but maybe it helps tie all the colors of the helmet, shirt, pants combos together.

And I still HATE any pants that have words down the sides instead of stripes.

Glad they released photos of the uniforms first, the digital version makes them look maroon.

Orange over white, brown over white, white over brown are the best looks, IMO.

I agree, the middle column contains my preferred combinations.

I'm not one who likes the monochrome look, and there's not enough bleach in the world to clean my eyes after looking at Orange Shirt with Brown Pants.

I love every combination in there. My favorites are the orange with the brown in either pairing. I'm just glad I didn't see a gray jersey. Those things should have been burned.

I like the ones where the shoulder color matches the pants. Ties it all together.
