Press Release on New Ford Turf

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

I heard adidas was working on new jerseys...wonder if they'll match the end zone colors.

WTF? New uniforms? Why arent we freaking out about this? What's going on? Colors? Are we going back to blue (I hope)? Anyone have pics? Any kind of scoop? That was like seven consecutive questions. No black uniforms, por favor.

adidas teams are going to those new crappy looking stretchy uniforms (like UCLA had at the end of last season). The ones that look like ladies tank tops.

It will be interesting to see what they do with us - especially regarding the sleeve stripes since there is minimal real estate on the sleeves of these abominations.

All we need to do is go back to a plain jersey with numbers & "SMU" on it & that's that. That's our tradition & trademark. What a waste with all this 'style' BS! Pretty soon we wont even be able to recognize us as SMU.

Ugh. Hate those. Tennessee switched to the same thing last year and they looked like [deleted]

Here are some photos from Tuesday night. My first impression is that the lettering in the end zones is way too big. It's too close to the edge. Needs to be at least 10-15% smaller - show more blue around the edges. I don't care for the font either.

Mustang at center of the field looks good. It was flat right before I took this shot from the press box.

thx!

Thanks for the picture, the end zone colors seem extremely bright.

[Peruna88]

It is pretty bright. Maybe when they put down those rubber pellets, the color will soften a bit.

[East Coast Mustang]

I think those new endzones look awesome....cant wait for the UTEP game

I swear we had this exact same conversation in 2004 (?).

Dooby, If that is the case, you know how it is with us older folks and memory retention.

was hoping for the Mustang to stretch from the 30 to the 30, Moody-WAC 16 style, as was joked about

Kind of like black uniforms, huh!!!!

Thanks for the pictures.........I think Diamond lettering would have looked cool and unique.
