Those were good uniforms, too. A brown version would have been great.

I love my school, but dislike its colors. Brown and Orange have grown on me over the years, and I admit, I find myself liking it more now than I ever did then. But in the end, like it or not, most people (not with BG or Cleveland Brown ties) think they look ugly together. And I didn't say all, I said most. As I once heard a guy say at a game one time, "There's a reason no one else is wearing those colors, they look like $hit!" While I wouldn't go that far, it's hard argue against it not being a popular look as there are a ton of schools wearing blue, red and green and the ones that do wear orange don't match it up with brown. Yes, we're the only FBS team in the country wearing orange and brown and to the best of my knowledge the only D-1 team doing the same. I just don't think it's something to boast about being so unique about. But to each his own.
GO BG!!!

I was senior when they came out with these. These were AWFUL!!! All the players hated them. They looked like an intramural team ordered them from an online website.

I can't say how they fit or the material, but it looked good from a distance. Simple and I'm all about the brown jersey (agree that it doesn't work with brown pants). Some of the alternate jerseys that the big schools get look awesome, but we aren't getting that type of uniform. Our unis are too busy....too many stripes/logos/etc, but I do like the fact that we have brown.
