Agree.

What about the shorts? Those aren't 1960's era.

Did we expect short-shorts for the guys? I have never seen retro uniforms include the retro fit on top or bottom.

The men's uniform look like it would have worn around the time AA was opened. Looking at past uniforms at BG we have never seen anything too extreme. Classic BGU with basic stips fits our tradition very well IMO.

The women's jersey reminds me of the late 80's/early 90's without the sleeves of the Voll era.

Looks good to me.

The point of making throwback uniforms is to make them look like they did in the past. Maybe they look different in person, but they look like modern uniforms with different lettering from the pictures. The womens unis look fine, the mens should be better than that imo. Certainly not nearly as sharp as the baseball ones turned out from last year. Those uniforms were awesome.

I guess my feeling is that if they don't look like "throwbacks" why bother at all. We could put that money in some sports budget that has been cut!
