I am glad they put the red face mask on the helmet.

Black shoes are good, dangit. Seriously. Done correctly, they look awesome.

And by done correctly you mean 6" stilletto heels and after 5:00pm.

Only if you are working Harry Hines. And the heels are probably not at all a good look for you. Sorry to disappoint.

They have always worked for me, especially evenings on Harry Hines. Finding a good wig is what gives me trouble.

What I like best is that the players can tie a sweater around their neck while on the sidelines for the true SMU sartorial look.

Nice mention on the DMN web site, too. Maybe they're starting to 'get it right', too.....but I hold no expectations.

I like them. Reminds me of the early eighties. That was a great look and so is the new/old look.

THE PONY EXPRESS WILL RIDE AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!

What is "SMU" blue? I notice this wording in the press release. I don't see any mention of royal, navy, yale - just SMU.

Hopefully they haven't created their own blue and called it "SMU" blue. This is a funky blue to me. Certainly the actual blue will be something different. Right? But, if so, why not have the actual color on the picture in the release?

Just a little darker than Houston Oiler Blue

You must be a youngster. Ever hear of the Pony Express?

The same?

Maybe - A little too light I think.

Columbia Blue is what the Houston Oilers always called that shade of blue.

YUK!!!!!

The only thing I don't like about the new Uniform is the stripe design on the sleeves. Way too many stripes on the sleeves. Stripes on the sleeves should match the stripes on the pants.
They look very forced and dont fit with the overall scheme.
