What is the "uniform surprise"?

[We_Are_ND]

Finally Maryland does something right. These are slick.

 

[NDdomer2]

Shoes are the best part imo.

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

Maryland should make that their regular uni.

 

[ND_Dubb]

Don't get me wrong I like the occasional change up with jerseys for a game. I even like the Green Alts however there bad luck if not used correctly. 1-5 in their last 6 attempts and 4-5 over all. I try to stay away from stuff with those kind of stats.

 

[ND_Dubb]

Ehh, Maryland and Under Armour want to be the "East Coast" Oregon. They got the crazy number of combinations available. Now just lacking the talent. Although I imagine it's hard to win with a Linebacker as your starting qb and a converted TE as the back up.

 

[ACamp1900]

Definitely he Oregon route, but I have liked each of Marylands unis....

 

[ND_Dubb]

They were new, unique, not afraid to defy the norm, won a few games and all of a sudden the DUCKS (which is not an intimidating mascot) became the coolest mascot in the country.....

Not an intimidating Mascot?? Google Roboduck. That is Sh*t from childhood nightmares!

Yup, pour enough money and marketing hype into a a team, get the university on board, great coach, you get an instant power

Let's see how they do after Kelly bolts for the NFL next spring. Everything Oregon has accomplished is built on Kelly's offensive genius. Nike's money definitely helped keep Kelly there, when he otherwise would have bolted for a better program long ago. But all the hype and shiny uniforms are just window dressing. If they can't keep winning once Kelly leaves, they'll fall right back to irrelevance.

It can't come soon enough. I don't know how many online message boards or online sites the people of this site peruse but I read quite a few and I don't know if there is fanbase with a bigger legend in their own mind complex than Duck fans. They've been trolling the internet since the start of the damn season and I'm tired of these "fans" who probably just started cheering for Oregon maybe 3 years ago tops talking down to Notre Dame like we're some upstart school out of nowhere.

I've literally seen Oregon fans in the past two weeks say: Notre Dame has a lot of heart but they'll definitely lose to USC, Oregon is starting a football revolution that will change the landscape of CFB, Oregon is probably the best team in CFB history, Notre Dame is a nice little team but they'll lose soon enough, Oregon probably has a better DEFENSE than Notre Dame, Notre Dame will get blown out by Oregon if they play in the NCG, etc.

I'm tired of these 19 year old kids who started following Oregon because they score a lot of points and wear "cool "uniforms treating Notre Dame like Boise State. Once Oregon falls back to hinterlands of CFB all of these "fans" will be on to the next flash in the pan.

 

[calvegas04]

Green for SC anyone?? lol

 

[bobbyok1]

I wonder what unis Oregon is wearing this week? Oh wait I forgot, NOBODY CARES!!!! Relevant baby!

 

[woolybug25]

Son of a b!tch...

 

[GreatGolson]

Should we win on saturday, maintain the #1 ranking and go the NCG, would we be wearing blue? i assume the higher ranked team is the "home" team, right?

I think it may switch yearly between the number 1 and number 2 team? I'm not sure though. Man we better beat USC.

 

[RallySonsOfND]

Green for SC anyone?? lol

Get out. KILL THIS THREAD, NO SURPRISES.

 

[In Lou I Trust]

I'd cry if we wore green. Those jerseys feel like a curse anymore.

 

[ACamp1900]

Green numbers ala 92 sugar bowl would be cool...

anyway, it's funny how a thread like this gets created or bumped every single year for SC week.

 

[Riddickulous]

No distractions, please. Gotta win.

 

[ShamrockOnHelmet]

GREEN JERSEYS ARE NOT A CURSE. THAT IS A DUMB STATEMENT. STOP WITH THAT ALREADY. YOU PEOPLE ARE SMARTER THAN THAT.

That said, there's no reason to wear anything but the standard uni. We're number 1.

[dublinirish]

not sure if this was posted already but Urbie and the Nuts will be wearing this versus the skunkbears this weekend:

 

[ShamrockOnHelmet]

So what do we think for the National Title Game? Names on back of the jerseys? Yay or Nay?

 

[clashmore_jon]

green jerseys with names. and lets bring back the helmets from the game in chicago.

seriously though, how badarse would some green jersey's be in the 'ship?

 

[tussin]

I'd be excited to see green jerseys in the ship. Preferably ones like we wore against SC in 2005.

 

[BurningRiver]

Green jerseys would be cool, but I'd much rather we come out in the home blues. Business as usual.

Speaking of, does anyone know if we'd be the home or away team? If we have to wear white I'm going to throw something.

Our best games were in white, and I actually would love to see us CHOOSE to wear them, seeing we will once again be billed as a "heavy underdog going into a hostile environment," and our guys embrace that role quite nicely.

I really prefer the blue jerseys, but if Kelly can sell the "we chose to wear white because we're the underdog, people think we aren't good enough, etc." I'd be cool with it. They can wear those God-awful Shamrock Series uniforms for all I care as long as we're holding the crystal ball at the end of the game.

 

[WakeUpEchoes]

Would they use special jerseys for the NCG?

I'd like the whites too if it was for this reason. We're the "underdogs" this year going up against the big bad bully from the SEC. Embracing the whites would symbolize that.

 

[ickythump1225]

Also, I saw the question asked earlier, I don't want names on the back of the jerseys. They're out there playing for their brothers, their team, and their university. Not having names on the back of the jersey symbolizes that nicely.
