This has nothing to do with Nike - the NFL has rules about giving advance notice before changing uniforms (unlike college).

Take a look at the new Seahawks uniforms...

The Seahawks' uniforms look awful ... as do Oregon, Virginia Tech, etc. Very 3A high school or (at best) ArenaLeague-esque.

Yes, I'm among those who hate Nike. I'll always support SMU, but I won't wear any of the Nike gear.
I really shouldn't drink and type.

I just want an apparel company to one day give enough of a damn about us to do something new & exciting.

Good for them. some teams have uniforms that are part of their tradition and prefer to keep a style that continues that tradition.

Some teams have coaches and ADs who give a [deleted] about such things as traditions....... 8)
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

The "tradition" most of you refer to is from about a 10 year period 30 years ago. Yeah they bring up fond memories but you guys act like we'd be breaking a 100 year old heirloom uniform.
