The team's performance spoke for itself, so I'm discussing jerseys. The home Dallas unis are my favorites among the current wardrobe. I like the numbers on the jersey shoulders and the absence of stripes on the solid blue. For years I tried to think of ways to incorporate Dallas into the game attire. The tripe D helmets are perfect although from the stands I wish that the red pony was a bit more visible.

I personally feel the uniforms this year: home, Dallas, and away, have all hit the "sweet spot" but of course no way to please everyone.

I like all our uniform combos except the black, but I would prefer the regular

Mustang on our helmets with our Dallas uniforms.

If they are gonna continue the triple D helmet, please make the Mustang larger. But I am not a fan of the triple D. And SMU make an appearance somewhere. I do love the solid Blue Jersey with no stripes.

They need some red helmets with white running pony decals to throw in the mix with the blue jerseys. The radio guys said they were a nice look when we used a version of this about 10 years ago. Hayden Fry thought so too.

Back in the day, the red pony helmets looked like Arkansas helmets which is why I never liked them. Then came Dave Smith who got rid of the pony altogether and made the helmets look like Ohio State Then came Ron Meyer who brought us the white helmet with the red pony which has been our base look ever since and is classic.

Our red helmets have been around since at least the 40s when Arkansas had white, and are brighter red than Arkansas.

I hated the Dave Smith unis at first but I got used to them. Hayden Fry liked grey pants which were kind of a trend at the time. Mostly I like jerseys without a bunch of small alternating stripes on the sleeves.

If I were to provide basic design for your uniforms, I'd have a standard red helmet, with a blue Mustang on each side outlined in white. I'd probably also want a blue strip down the middle outlined in very thin white. Blue jerseys for Home, with red numbers outlined in white and SMU above the numbers, also in red outlined in white. When wearing white jerseys, I'd usually prefer blue pants with white-red-white stripes going down the legs.

Ugh ... please — no. The white helmet with the Mustang on the sides is the best helmet in the country.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

We’ve got the best uniforms in the country. We just don’t wear them all the time. People know the Pony Express - wear it full time. Cut out the clown looking costumes. Time to grow up.
