Anyone else think the blue, gold, red, black and white color scheme is fugly?
I know they have a good team, and it will be difficult to win. I respect the heck out of them.
But either have red as a color or don't. I just don't like the look at all. I really dislike the away jerseys

The red seems entirely unnecessary.
That shade of blue with the gold looks nice.

I think their colors are unique and I like how red and gold look together.
I also think it is dangerous when we have a unique scheme that others could easily dub "ugly" to start slinging mud. . .

I agree. I think the red accent around the white and blue is very bold and pleasing to the eye. As far as I can tell, the black is very minimal, and apparently only really used in the hurricane flags on the pants. The red adds a nice touch to what would otherwise be a kind of plain blue and gold (though the royal blue with the gold makes it somewhat unique).
At least their "gold" is a true gold, not a glorified maize like some schools we know.

Use the red as more than a pinstripe, though.

I like the color scheme.
I'm tired of helmets with letters (BG, M for Miami or Marshall, Central's streaking C). I'd much rather see more logos; at this point, I'd prefer space ghost to our interlock BG.
If I were Tulsa, I'd use the hurricane warning flags on the helmet in some fashion.

Well, I didn't say our uniforms were pretty or that they even looked alike between the home and away versions. However, at least we don't have 5 colors on them.
Personally I think Tulsa is too much while too little looks like this:

I'd go with a piece of plywood.

Check out this "old school" logo from the Portland Storm!

Using red as more than an accent would be too much in their case. I look at their colors as being blue and gold. The red comes up in the flags and they use it as trim, and it's done well.
White is universal, and the black is (again, as far as I can tell) only in the flag logo on the pants. So to say they have "five colors" is a bit much. They have three at most, and I'd even say 2 1/2. Nothing wrong with that.

We'll agree to disagree on the use of red. The logo uses black a lot more prominently because of the flags but doesn't mix in the godawful red outline in addition to the white outline.
