I have a #3 blue jersey made by Champion from the late 90s. It was the actual jersey the players wore so it the length was a bit longer but it was like putting on tights it was so form fitting so the players could keep them tucked in securely. Got lucky picking it up on clearance at a Champs Sporting Goods in the mall back in the day.

I have a blue and a green #3 jersey from the Ty era. Shamrock on the collar. It was always my favorite rendition.
My white #3 was a Mirer jersey. All sewn numbers, but not game worn. They fit like a t-shirt.

Road whites could work well to our advantage--don't be surprised if the same dummies who think you can organize a whiteout on a neutral site get confused about which team is wearing white and start cheering for us.

Can see these becoming more widespread than the version we saw this year. It’s a true second helmet shell
Yeah, and not even sure how well the current guardian caps even work? Romeo Doubs left the wild card game in Philly on Sunday after his head made contact with the ground (not particularly hard, I might add) while wearing one, and he looked like he got targeted by Ray Lewis after.

I'm sure guys are more susceptible to head injuries to others, but this appears to be a step up.

They don't prevent concussions rather they reduce the damage of a concussion. Think air bags. They absorb most of the contact and disperse the velocity to other areas so the brain crashing against the skull doesn't have the full impact.

Watching the last episode of here come the irish. The cameras they use to document are obviously far superior to the ones used during games. The helmets are perfect gold and not yellow like they tend to look on tv and the pants are actually a perfect color compliment. What we get on TV sometimes doesn’t look great. Watch here come the irish, tell me we don’t have the best uniforms in CFB.
