Houndstooth jerseys

[SelmaBamaFan]

Say it isnt so!!!! (http://tidesports.com/article/20061010/NEWS/61010003/1016)


:mad:

[XingTheRubicon]

That is pretty much the opposite of Alabama.

What's next, coke bottle glasses on Penn State's helmet

[birddog]

commemorative, right? i wouldn't have a problem for one game. i think they look "snazzy."

Think Nike, think sell out, think 'anything to make a buck'; and then read Xing's post.

I think it's a crock of ****.

[OK2LA]

Guess I'm in the minority . . . . think it's kinda cool.

Understated - subtle - nice tribute, but from what I read, it wouldn't be permanent.

[sanantoniosooner]

I dig it.

Especially if it isn't permanent.

[sooneron]

Herein lies all you need to know-


The jersey will be on sale Saturday at the Nike tent, located on the northwest corner of Bryant-Denny Stadium. The retail price is $80.

[sanantoniosooner]

So, do you think Bama approached Nike with the idea or the other way around?

and FWIW.....I think even NIKE knows they can screw with Oregon all they want, but walk on eggshells with Bama.

[SelmaBamaFan]

It looks OK, dont get me wrong. But messing with our jerseys is like someone messing with the Sooner Schooner (or making horse pigs). We take pride in never changing it. I know that sounds wierd as hell... ah screw it... Nike is the devil and I hate them, hate them, hate them!!

This is just the start btw, ever wonder why Oregon has 16 different jerseys? or why Florida has a throw back (or throw up) jersey every year? It's because of the extra sales on those jerseys. In other words its a sell out for Nike, and now we will be hard pressed to do it EVERY DAMN YEAR!

[birddog]

well, i still think it's cool for one game.

[birddog]

plus, i heard nike is hurting for cash.:rolleyes:

they might be bought out by fila.:D

OK, I chuckled at that one... :D

Fila was a nice choice lol

[Flying Scotsman]

Once -- is very cool!!

After that, retire them....

Roll tide!
Go Sooners!

[Tidefan36854]

I don't have problem with it for 1 game. I know there's a lot of fans from other teams that will ridicule us for "living in the past", but what the h*ll, they do that already. As long as people buy the stuff and recruits keep putting on Houndstooth hats when they sign, we'll see it from now on. The man lost 46 games in 25 years and had a .824 winning % at Alabama. That's something we'll never see again, so I guess we'll just have to keep looking back;)

[royalfan5]

I was hoping the whole jersey would have been houndstooth, that'd be sweet. I'm glad NU is with Adidas and they haven't tried to mess with our jersey's too much. Nike would probably want to stick a bottle of bushmills on the helmet as a tribute to Devaney, or a vanilla ice cream cone on the jersey for Osborne.

[birddog]

what happened to tidefan36853?:D

welcome to the board.

You mean the helmet, jersey, pants, socks, and shoes? Hmmmm I think you're on to something there...

NU should have a stipe up the side of the pants that resembles an ear of corn.

[Octavian]

that's usually what fanbases w/ mediocre histories have to say.

[SelmaBamaFan]

Then it'd look like they had a corn cob up their ***.

[SelmaBamaFan]

Oct was too fast, I shoulda quoted sas :(

[Tidefan36854]

If Mike Price was still our coach we would have proabably went with crotchless pants!!!

[royalfan5]

and get houndstooth field turf too.

Now THAT would be fresh as hell... you might go blind trying to find players but man that would be a site. You could see the field from mars.

don't do it.

let tennessee remain the laughing stock with its Purina end zones.

It would totally pwn Boise's turf. I imagine a recieve running downfield and not even seeing the Bama player caused he blended in and then boom.

[soonerboomer93]

If it's only 1 time, it's ok. We used throwback jerseys for 1 game in 2004 I believe.

[sooneron]

I thought Spot bilt was buying out Nike???

Now them are some kicks!

[Tidefan36854]

Those OU throwbacks were sweet! I actually like the ones FL wore 2 weeks ago. If I were a FL fan I would want to keep those, instead of the hideous current ones they wear!

[critical_phil]

what happened to tidefan36853?


he's over in dadeville.


in alabammer, that's pronounced dadevll.

ywia.

[Tidefan36854]

D*mn! I need to go out and buy some Nike stock. FSU is going all black this week against BC. http://www.fanblogs.com/florida_state/006628.php
That should work out pretty good for FSU players since they can just take off the gold helmet, and go commit burglary without having to go back to the dorm and change clothes!http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/images/smilies/ack.gif

Oh, and thanks for the welcome Birddog, but I've been on the board a couple of years. I just read the posts most of the time. I have been a pretty big OU fan since the home and home series a few years back. I hope we can do that again in the next few years.

[Tidefan36854]

Is actually more like DAYVLL I've rarely heard the second "d" annunciated;)

[birddog]

those fsu digs look green.

and it's not fila sniffin' around nike's door, it's BRITISH KNIGHTS. they want to bring back the fake red snakeskin kicks.

[Switzer-lander]

Wouldn't a houndstooth helmet make more sense?

[handcrafted]

If it's only 1 time, it's ok. We used throwback jerseys for 1 game in 2004 I believe.

Yes, but we make throwback look good.

[bri]

I wonder what Shelby has to say about all this? :D

[EstablishedSooner1967]

as long as that is as far as they go...not to bad.

[picasso]

Bryan Dennehy did have some houndish looking teeth in Silverado.

I liked his subtle portrayal as the bartender in "10" myself.

[The Maestro]

I think it would be cool if OU, for one game, had brown fur around the collar of the jersey in honor of the 1987 OU-Nebraska game where Jamelle was wearing Taylor Tubbs fur coat on the sidelines on crutches.

Good times, good times.

I thought that was the King's? he wore it to the pep rally at Union Station in KC, 2000.

[Jason White's Third Knee]

Actually, Florida Atlantic's jerseys are next. When they win the jerseys smell like beer. When they lose, the jerseys smell like bourbon.

[bri]

Every time 'Bama fans complain vociferously about uniform changes, I have to bite my tongue to keep from making desegregation jokes. :D

[Tear Down This Wall]

commemorative, right? i wouldn't have a problem for one game. i think they look "snazzy."

Agreed. I like it. Then again, after OU, Alabama and Nebraska are my favorite teams.

Hear me now and believe me later when I say, I'd rather us play the whole season with houndstooth timmed jerseys than to go the whole season without names on the back - the stupid, gimmicky thing that's not working for us.

Please, somebody bring the real Bob Stoops back to Norman and take the alien Stoops that replaced him in December 2004 back to outer space.

[Tidefan36854]

I agree with that. For the last few years I had heard Bama fans shouting "Take their names off the jerseys! That'll show 'em!" Show 'em what?, I ask. In the current ESPN age of self-promotion <like it or not, that's just the way it is> players want as much exposure as possible. They don't want the casual fan to say "Damn!, number 34 is tearing it up!" They want to hear "Damn!, that Joe Blo is awesome!". If a team, such as Penn State, has never had them, then that's cool, but removing them has not proven to be effective whatsoever. BTW, this is not a knock on Coach Bob Stoops, I think CBS is a great Coach, I'm talking in general.

[Tear Down This Wall]

It's the stupidest thing EVAR. We laughed at Texas A&M when they did it. It's just gimmicky. Let the little guys of the college football world do gimmicky things. If players lucky and talented enough to get scholarships at programs like Oklahoma and Alabama can't be motivated by that alone, surely they won't be motivated by having their names taken off the jerseys. I was shocked that Stoops fell for it.

[yur-out]

We laughed at Texas A&M when they did it.
It worked so well for them, we thought we'd try it. :eek:

[Jason White's Third Knee]

Wy don't we all get some LiveStrongesque wrist bands with some catchy phrase... like "FINISH" or something.

Stickers on the helmet are #1, IMO. For the EXACT same reasons you stated above.

[Partial Qualifier]

I think it's cool for a 1-game deal. It's subtle.


OK, I chuckled at that one... :D

Fila was a nice choice lol


Got Filas on my Feet
Gold Rope on my Neck
Cold Cold carry Cash
and I Never write Checks

[Landthief 1972]

Like a Michael Stipe?

[SelmaBamaFan]

If Bama really wanted to do something, then lets bring back tear away jerseys!!

Lets see Jimmy Johns running an option play with half his jersey hanging off of him. THAT would bring back memories for the Bama faithful! :D

[LosAngelesSooner]

I like it. I think it looks cool and classy.

But not for a permanent change.

And at least you're not Miami, VT or...GAG...Oregon and Syracuse.

[OUstud]

Those tear aways and short cut jerseys were awesome.

And as mentioned above, name one team that benefitted from taking the names off the back recently.

[SelmaBamaFan]

Texas A&M ofcourse! They're FRANTASTIC!!

[Bourbon St Sooner]

I think it actually has made us more of a team. I mean look at Saturday. After AD fumbled, everybody on the O followed in suit.

Underrated greatness....

Good point. Stoops is smarter than even we give him credit for! :D
