Lets try to not get to close to "New Team-New Attitude" we tried that once before. I wore both the white/striped and dark blue helmets. I have to say that I prefered the latter. I think that we should go back to the early 80's unis with the stripes on the helmets. Plain just looks a little silly to me.(Remember the "Jets" unis)

Thx for comment. Any other insights on what players prefer. Appears you played recently? Colors? Home/Away? Stripes? Swooshes? Preference looking downfield for a teammate or the enemy? Practical issues? Cool factor?

Not sure I agree with you, cause I'm not sure what you're saying. Unless you are saying we shouldn't have changed the unis from the classic national championsip uniforms. Old school uniforms do not deter recruits. Tell that to LSU and Ohio St. and especially Penn St., who haven't changed their unis since Warren Van Buren was president. I agree with DickerJames, there are some things a coach should not be able to touch.
That's our problem. You guys still believe that we are the equal of the LSU's Penn. State's and Ohio State's. So far, SMU is the mold on the dirt under the mat that those schools use to wipe thier feet on. You want to attract kids to East Be Nowhere State (aka present day SMU) you'll need to do something to stand out to the current crop of recruits, not their fathers.

I prefer the classic look of the 80's. As long as we don't emulate...

I don't think you can blame Nike, it is the school's decision. USC, Penn State and UT among others use Nike and are classics.
