Please don't ever jack with the mustang on Smew's helmet. Different color combinations, perhaps. But that's it.

This is why you don't use Nike.

And their pads are worthless. Leading to more injuries.

I think we should consider doing our own 'throwback' jerseys. Use the 60's design with the red helmets, blue jerseys, and grey pants - great color scheme.

Of course, Nike should not be anywhere near the project.

Hayden Fry's uniforms were always my favorites, although I actually liked the Dave Smith Ohio State knock offs too. So what do I know?

I think that those are the old school 1950's replica helmets. This has been done before.

I like Ohio State look. the SMU throw back look from the 60's would be pretty cool. Of course if no one comes to the home games who is going to see them.

Dave Smith's uniforms were horrible. Just about as plain and horrible as he was - bless his heart.

If you're going to do a REAL throwback - not just a dropback - go with the khaki pants, crimson jerseys, crimson helmets, white socks and black shoes - from when we had a Heisman winner.

I really like this idea. SMU is one of the few non-AQ schools that has a storied past. It really needs to capitalize on this and remind people we have historical rivalries with Texas/Notre Dame/Michigan/Ohio State and that we've competed and won on the highest level.

I think those helmets look pretty awesome. And I bet the players are jacked up about them. When is SMU gonna get a deal with Nike? Who the heck still goes with Adidas these days..
