Couldn't agree more — looks fantastic.
That's the best version of one of the best uniforms in college sports.
Hope our "other" color this year is blue. Like those far more than the red.

I think the idea of white uniforms for both Home and Away is a good one. And our uniforms are indeed sharp looking. I still think, however, there are too many stripes. If the red and blue were adjacent to one another, rather than being separated by the white, I think it would be a much better look. Just too stripey for me.

Totally agree. Definitely a big YES!!! Way too busy!!!

Hopefully this is a trend & they'll be gone very, very soon.
BRING BACK THE GLORY DAYS OF SMU FOOTBALL!!!

For some strange reason, one of the few universities that REFUSE to use their school colors: Harvard Crimson & Yale Blue.

I think its goofy as hell. Its just a white uniform nothing special or unique about that-everybody has one. Red Blue White-has there been a year in the last 20 years when we haven't changed our uniforms. The Red running Mustang looks better off a Blue Uniform. The stripes are ridiculous and annoying. The whites are just your average generic pro influenced uniform. Middle of the road in Division 1A that benefits from great colors Red and Blue and quality recognizeable trade mark Red Mustang-thank you Ron Meyer. At one time we had among the best uniforms in College Football-even our opponents knew it. Now we look like every one else. Red?-there are only about 50 teams wearing red and they are all basically look the same in white. Boring, predictable and most certainly not unique.

Certainly glad June didn't consult you. Love the white. Like the stripes. Goofy? I think not.

Well stated and get rid to the ridiculous stripes.
