WW1 memorial type deal. They look better than I originally thought barring the "theme"

I want to like them: gritty WWI color scheme; that frieze from the Basilica is one of my favorite parts of campus; and Rovell's stills look pretty solid.

But it looks atrociously bad in that video. And if I had to guess, the footage is likely a more realistic portrayal than some low-light shots from Rovell's phone...

The helmet looks like some dude fucking around with an airbrush on his motorcycle tank.

I worry they will keep on getting worse as ND seems set on a "theme" for the jersey. Soon they will be stretching for significant things. I respect the themes they are currently using but would rather have them just make a badass looking uniform.

These stills don't look bad:

The jersey looks like Jimmie Foxx's Philadelphia Athletics jersey sitting in Cooperstown.

The helmet looks like amber with a bug trapped on the side from the Eocene.

As usual, the story is great but unlike '14's the colors are not exciting.

Looking for a play on this but replace the Nike neon with chrome gold outline over a chrome green font.

I don't hate the olive green idea given the military theme or the helmets but the colors overall are dull as ****. I wouldn't even compare them to Baylor's, they're even duller than my older brother's army service jacket after he came back from 'Nam.

Meh.

Would have been sweet if they would have done the green on the sleeves. That though ruins it for me.

They are inoffensive but that's really it

I could use a safespace full of our 2013 shamrock series jerseys right about now.

These look like trash. All black with like fluorescent gold or kelly green would have looked awesome. Hard to believe someone actually approved these.

I think Rovell's low-light stills look good because the olive green comes across as almost gun-metal gray. Works pretty well with the gold accents. But in the video, the olive green really stands out, which is... bad.

"Who approved these uniforms comprised of colors that are a call to the military???"

That's all of you right now, wondering loudly about questions with obvious answers lol.

Typically you see players and recruits commenting about the uniforms, usually positive stuff. I'm not seeing anything yet. Is that a bad sign? I don't have any new recruits followed on Twitter yet though.

I'm okay with the jersey for the most part. The helmet is a little too busy, but kind of neat. The rest...meh.

[EDIT] Meh, not showing up on here for me, just on Twitter.
Uniform seems to look different every time you look at it.

I want one of those helmets. They so lit, fam.

I wish the helmet gold would match the uni gold better, but that will forever be an issue just based on the fact that helmets can have metallic gloss to mimic the Dome, while cloth cannot.

C'mon, science! Catch up so the golds can match!

Jarron jones tweeted some thumbs down emojis and a meme most of the middle age dudes here wouldn't get but basically u can infer that he thinks that they're absolute trash.
