This is outdated! Thanks for your comments, and I hope you’ll check out the updated list here: http://www.everyjoe.com/2008-new-ncaa-uniforms/
Football uniforms have always been a hot topic. It makes sense – if I’m going to shell out the cash for a fan jersey, I don’t want to look like a douche. There are quite a few teams getting new uniforms in 2008, so I thought I’d compile a list of links to show you. If your team is getting new uniforms and you don’t see them on this list, leave a comment to let me know!
Kentucky (rumored, but I couldn’t confirm)
Minnesota (not yet revealed at time of this post)
i like them all. Miami uni’s took awhile to grow on me
Why doesnt Boise State have an alternate orange jersey. That would look sweet on the Blue turf!
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are getting new uniforms, i cant find any pics, but they are switching back to white for home with navy and gold alternate tops. if you run across any pics can you post them
Nebraska: they might want to switch it up a little. I personally think a red and white Boise State would work what u think? And Black Miami, I have been saying this for at least three years! bout time!
the Black Miami Jersesy look pretty bad in basketball, the colors dont really mix well, the way to do it is to put white as the trim and have onr color or the other as the main color, the could try how the mets do it and have both colors with a white shadow effect, but they use a deep forest green that is very dark unlike the mets’ bright blue. Dark green and black work well, orange and green only work well for the canes, but black and orange never look good together its hard to make them look natural looking. Maryland, and florida State have done this the best, because there colors didnt clash, gold and black look nice, and the maroon was nicely complemented by the gold, Maryland’s colors are black red and white (and their jerseys were black about 8 years or so ago)
cal also has new ones along with minnesota
when is ASU going to update their football uniforms, back in 2003 when they were an Adidas school they updated them, when nike took over they went retro, any plans for a new uniform for 2008
anything from unc?
Iowa State and SMU are also getting new uniforms this year
unc isn’t getting new uni’s
NC State is though
Last year unc made their pants shorter, and i think i read somewhere that they added back the stripe, but i may be making that up thinking i read that. Im surprised unc has had those lackluster helmets for so long, I preferred the ones with the white stripe down the middle and the 2 thick dark Blue stripes on either side, with the NC on the sides also surrounded by the dark blue. I think the heels still have the NC with a thin dark blue line but they no longer have the stripe- i was surprised when they downgraded the style a few years back, it really does make the team seem boring especially with the extremely bright and boring camera work and overall presentation the CW does (the acc game of the week- i think it used to be called JP Sports or something))
Mike, when you say ASU who do you mean (arizona st., alabama st. arkansas st. alcorn st.?) i booted up ncaa football 04 and 05, and couldnt find a difference between Arizona st.’s current jersey and the jersey on the game, and out of the ASUs i could htink of that one was the only major college football program so i figured thats who you were talking about. Now i did notice a change in the away jersey for the Arkansas Razorbacks, which had maroon piping on the front, and notices that Arkansas was smaller in print etc, did you mean them? also note that NCAA football is notorious to overlooking changes in uniforms, so they may have overlooked Arizona St.’s. And unless youve heard some sort of plans for new unis they most likely wont have any new regular rotation unis.
douglas sorry i meant Arizona State, we are now a legit contender for the pac 10 conference, and reading many articles over the past few months i am starting to realize how much uniforms play into recruiting ie Oregon and Miami. if you go back to 2003 Aarizona st had monochromatic white with white adidas on the road and an updated yellow pant and maroon jersey, when they went back to Nike the uniforms are similar to the uniforms from the late 90s, i would like to see an update
okay, i see what you’re saying, i was looking for a radical change. I know what you mean about updating, My team is Georgia Tech, and the only changes they have made in my lifetime has been number style, and an addition of Georgia Tech just below the collar, though its is written pretty small. they also moved from navy Jerseys to gold in 1994 but they wore white at home and away whenever they could between then and 05.
Douglas, Mike — Arizona State got raked over the coals by the traditionalists who disliked the new look in 03. Also, Dirk Koetter was a supersticious guy and 03’s 5-7 record didn’t sit well with his yin-yang. So back they went, with the help of Nike. Agreed, it is time for an update (those Velveeta helmets gotta go) but in my opinion they need to stick to their traditional roots, as Ohio State, USC, Michigan, Texas and so many other long-time power programs have.
Oregon State is getting new uniforms. Thankfully, they decided to get rid of the “bra” look after just one year. Unlike our friends to the south, the university decided listened to all of the complaints about the uni’s and changed them. The new ones are a lot more traditional, none of the fancy designs, just a black jersery with white lettering and an orange stripe on the sleeve. The orange jersey’s have a black stripe and black lettering, and the white have an orange stripe and orange lettering. The pants are staying the same either black or white with and orange stripe.
I love the tradition of ASU, and to date we were ranked the #1 college athletic program in the country, the baseball team has the retro traditional unis but they are progressive. the football team needs a retro update. yes those helmets need to go, i did like the 03 uniforms including the helmet with the saber streak and pants with the matching streak down the side. we must stick to the burgundy top and yellow pants at home, I would love to see a traditional update, incorporate the old danny white plain burgundy jersey with gold lettering with a retro look update that incorporates the 03 update and NIKE vision, maybe a black 3rd jersey and monocromatic pants with the gold and burgundy. this is the 50th anniversary for sun devil stadium we should do a uniform or patch to celebrate that
Best thing ASU did last year (in addition to generally kick butt) was bring back the burgundy road pants. I saw ASU at the Rose Bowl against UCLA and all I heard throughout the game was how badass ASU’s unis were.
the road unis do rock, i love the burgundy pants with the yellow AS and black socks/shoes and white top, they need to keep the color combos just make the unis sleek looking and yet hold the tradition, their unis should match the coaches polos. so i guess i made this an ASU page! i saw the new oregon state unis , i like them, the manzier look or i mean bro look wasnt working. actually of the new unis i love the vanderbilt uniforms! they may only win 3 games but the unis are killer
cinci got sum new jerseys too.
arkansas has new uniforms
Alabama, Tennessee, Vandy, and UAB are getting updated/new uniforms. Also rumored is a new Clemson look and a change at Ole Miss and I have a feeling Troy may be updating their unis as well.
emai me a pic of tennesse’s new uni’s….I haven’t seen um wearing them at the games and haven’t seen any pics of them wearing them help please….
Eric, the only one I have is linked to my latest post here: http://www.bcsfrenzy.com/2008-new-ncaa-uniforms/
I don’t usually watch Tennessee games, so I don’t know what they’ve been wearing or when they’ll be switching over. You can try emailing the AD directly!
unc started wearing dark blu on the bottom sometimes for away games and i beleive in the georgia tech game… not sure who they played exactly i forgot… but im pretty sure they wore theyr dark blue tops 4 the first time. theyre jerseys r beast!
