Sooner Football Uni changes...

[8timechamps]

Where do you see yourself on this topic?

And yeah, the last option is supposed to say "want" not "wasn". Alcohol.

[Breadburner]

****ing hell goddamn muther ****ing no......

[mhackl]

NO NEED!
Leave that to the teams that need something other than their play on the field to entertain their fans.

[SoonerofAlabama]

^ That.

[silverwheels]

50s throwbacks once or twice a decade is fine. Keep the white socks and shoes, and maybe put "Oklahoma" on the front of the away jerseys again. Or don't. Otherwise, they don't need to be touched.

Amen on all counts, Silver.

[btb916]

I see myself being unhappy if there is a change. I see myself being embarrassed if we have to hire someone to coordinate our uniforms.

[8timechamps]

Okay, all you not drunk people, maybe you should have a cold beverage of your choice, then come back an review the choices.

[silverwheels]

Probably shouldn't have let me vote for multiple choices.

[Peach Fuzz]

I wasn the uniforms from the 20's


and dreadlocks

[colleyvillesooner]

I would like to see the white helmet with the red OU just once. Still our same colors, just a tweak.

If you're for it, then go root for Aggy.

[The Ghost of Mex]

Classic, flaunt it if you got it.

[MyT Oklahoma]

It is what it is. And what it has been for the past 40 or so years works.

[Sooner_Tuf]

If you're for it, then go root for Aggy.

Yup. I dont wasn any changes.

[En_Fuego]

Hell No

[OUstud]

By and large (save for a few minor name on the front/back tweaks), these uniforms have been the same through the 60s, the wildly successful 70s and 80s, the ugly probation years of the early 90s, John Blake, and now Stoops. The only time OU's unis were noticeably changed was in 1995, when Captain Kangaroo put stripes on the sleeves. And look how that turned out.

Look, if we want to try the white helmet thing once, whatever. But NO to any sort of Mickey Mouse, dog-and-pony show bull**** that will make us look like one of those Dallas Metroplex high schools, all under the uber-gay PRO COMBAT jackoffery.

[StoopTroup]

It's funny when someone posts a poll and they are hoping to get support for a change in something and the Monster drags them through the streets and then puts their mouth on the curb and stomps the back of their head.....

It'd look just like a Husker helmet.

No need for change when you have the history and tradition we have.

[the-rover]

An occasional retro....otherwise, no.

[En_Fuego]

However.....The half shirt tear-aways of the 80's .....KICKED A$$

[TheUnnamedSooner]

The black shoes were a nice touch a few years ago.

[badger]

If the kids want a change just once, I'd say let em, so long as it isn't a stupid change. If they want to do funny colored shoes (Patrick O'Hara once kicked with green shoes), that's fine. If they want to do a throwback day, that's cool. If they want to go full-on Nike, change our colors and logo and be crazy... NO

[sooneredaco]

Leave that kind of sh!t for Boone State and all the other tradition starved programs

[kbsooner21]

No change

[sooneron]

Leave it for orange aggy. They have no tradition, so they can't really ruffle any feathers.

[Tear Down This Wall]

If you're for it, then go root for Aggy.

Precisely. Leave uniform changes to schools who can't get attention from their performance.

[OU Sooners]

Keep our tradition! Leave it for OSU, Oregon, TCU, and the other crappy arena football team wannabe's. I'm so glad we have tradition.

[Dio]

43 Conference Championships > 48 uniform combinations

[Sco]

I am a fan of throwbacks to historical uniforms like when OU wore the 1950's throwbacks, but that's it.

[JiminyChristmas]

I would agree with the occasional throwback, but beyond that, not really a fan of changing them.

[GottaHavePride]

****ing hell goddamn muther ****ing no......

This

[8timechamps]

See, I wasn't hoping for support. I happen to like the unis we have. However, I also liked the throwback Nike did for us sometime ago. Just wanted to see what others thought. You knida took a big jump from starting a poll to that person wanting change, didn't you?

[NormanPride]

You are, each and every one of those that voted for the first two options, dirty ****ing liars. :D You would cream your shorts if we brought out the throwbacks once a year for homecoming or against Texas.

[jkjsooner]

However.....The half shirt tear-aways of the 80's .....KICKED A$$

That was mostly a '70s thing. They were banned in '82.

The half shirts lived on a little longer than that though.

As for uniforms, I wouldn't object to red pants on the road. That's about it.

I'm sure I'll get negged pretty hard for that one.

[silverwheels]

Ugh, crimson pants would be terrible with the crimson helmet. If we had a white helmet it would look better to an extent, but then we'd just look like a sharper Nebraska or Wisconsin. The white pants are more than sufficient.

[Soonerjesse27]

43 Conference Championships > 48 uniform combinations

well put ^^^^

[Anaxamander]

The day I see the Sooners wearing a black jersey is the day I check out from society.

[tulsaoilerfan]

HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SoonerLaw09]

Okay, you people honestly tell me that these did not look cool:

http://www.tulsaworld.com/articleimages/2009/20091116_sooneruniform1116.jpg

Not only that, but the ones we wore at opening day of the new stadium renovations (white helmets and red jerseys) were teh allsome. I would definitely be in favor of going back to those.

[NormanPride]

IMO, a little too much like Ohio State. We could use them once a year or so, but not more often. Our unis are part of the allsome image of OU.

And yes to the throwbacks. They were pimp.

[Jason Alexander]

White helmets look awesome, but now a lot of teams use them and it wouldn't be cool if OU did it now.

[fadada1]

let me answer your question with a question:

do you think osu/oregon/maryland look like tards every week/year with a new uniform????

if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[John Kochtoston]

I'd like to see the all-white, no stripe pants back. Maybe with the interlocking OU on the hip. I think it's a cleaner look. I'm torn on a white road helmet. I'd have to see it to know for sure. I actually kind of liked the uni tops Drunkenburger rolled out with the stripes on the sleeves.

If we ever do throwbacks again, I'd like to see us go way back with a uni top with a giant "O" on it. Like Michigan did for the ND game this year.

[Sooner95]

Uhh no, I've seen what Nike has done to uni's and it's laughable. Leave the **** alone and play football.

[OklahomaTuba]

Leather helmets, and no face masks. I'd be cool with that.

[marfacowboy]

One of the best and most recognizable looks in the game. You don't mess with a classic. As another poster said, other teams need gimmicks. Not OU....

That was me, and even I think we should pull out the throwbacks every once in awhile. Kids like new shiny things, and if we give them something like this they may get fired up more and want to play harder.

[silverwheels]

I just think the throwbacks are cool as hell, but I like old school uniforms (like Oregon State's throwback Pro Combat uniforms from last year). But they also harken back to perhaps the most dominant period ever seen in college football.


Speaking of Oregon State's throwbacks, the thing I loved about them was the stripes on the undershirt to mimic the longer-sleeved jerseys of the 60s (and before). If OU does the throwbacks again, I'd like to see them take that approach.

Those Oregon State throw-backs were the best I've seen in years. I wasn't a fan of the flat paint on the helmets, but they pulled it off.

The picture looks cool, but if I remember right, they didn't look nearly as good on game day.

Have we ever done red pants with the red jersey? I don't know how it would look with our colors, but I know I usually like it when darker colored teams do it.

[silverwheels]

I don't know, even though it seems like every team needs a matte black helmet these days, it still looks better than Texas Tech's helmets, which have as much sparkle and glitter as one of our twirler's batons.

Yeah, they didn't look as good on the field (jersey stripes were weird, and the pant fabric template screwed up those stripes).

All crimson would look awful, though.

I've actually come around on the matte helmets (probably because of Oregon State). I also agree about the sparkle thing. I can't remember which team it was, but I recently saw a white helmet with all that sparkle crap in it. Looked awful.

[SoonerTony]

The only change I'd like to see is a switch from the Nike logo to the Under Armour logo. Mostly because I support the WWP and would love to have an OU WWP t-shirt.


*WWP = Wounded Warrior Project

[fossil]

I wasn the uniforms from the 20's


and dreadlocks

Yeah, and those 'teak' helmets too!!!

[oudivesherpa]

Eventually everything changes, but as long as we are winning nothing will change. I
Hope we wear the same uniforms for the next ten years.

[Octavian]

if our uni's change, kill everything

[8timechamps]

if our uni's change, kill everything

Define uni change...

To me, if they opted to take the stripe off of the pants, it wouldn't be the end of the world. Now, if they wanted to introduce a crimson away pant, then yes...kill everything.

[SoonerStud615]

All crimson would look a lot like a combo Indiana used to use:

However, I like the crimson pants better on the road unis:

Most importantly, I would love to see these throwback make a regular appearance:
