Best jerseys we've had in the past decade, IMO.

My only disappointment is no alternate jersey that is completely off the wall, like the greys.

To each their own. I don't care if it is one of our primary colors I hate Brown. These ones are more palatable than what we've had in the past since they at least have some white/orange accents to them, but I still don't love it. The oranges & whites look sweet. AFAIC Brown should never be anything more than an accent color...literally looks like poop when it's the primary.

I agree, I'm not a fan of brown either. I liked the grey jerseys much better than our brown. I get a kick out of how some people tout BG for being "unique" as the only school (in the FBS) with orange and brown....because there's a big reason why we're the only ones with it. It's f-ugly. That said, I do like that we have different options, even if it's brown. I know there are fans who actually do like the color brown (not sure why - just kidding, just kidding), so I'm happy for them, even though it looks like we're wearing poop. ;)
GO BG!!!

MJ had the orange jersey with him at media day today, was very sharp looking coming through the computer screen. Johnson also said the jerseys are a bit lighter than the Adidas ones which should be a benefit.

Agreed. Grey doesn't go with brown.

That's why they wore them with orange. ;) I loved the orange/grey/orange combo (wore them vs Pitt and Kent State) and would love to see us pull out another surprise look down the road (which I heard we will be doing at some point). I'm still waiting for the "black-out" uniforms to appear.
GO BG!!!

NOOOO! We have Nike, so we don't have to resort to black. We have brown now. We could do a brown-out...could you imagine the jokes? Although, I think I'd like to see that.

IF we go with a special uniform, let's make it a camouflage style orange or brown look. Now THAT would be cool to see.
ROLL ALONG!!!

Do a special helmet, not another uniform. BG doesn't have enough home games to wear all the home options already, let alone throw another design in. IF they were to ever do another uniform, just wear a true throwback. I wish that's the route they would have gone with the brown.

Agree Falcon137 if there is something up their sleeve I hope it is a fun, flashy helmet.
