Nope. Too much going on. And why the heck is there gray in it. If it was white I would feel a bit better about it.

Easy JJ era Nike's. All they had to do for those was get rid of the silver pants and helmets and replace them with white pants w/ the tapa leg band and an option for white helmets. And heck if you want green pants too, why not. Also instead of black numbers on the away white jerseys, make em dark green. And bring back the green jerseys JJs team wore as an option. You know the one they wore before JJ, the players or whoever fell in love with wearing all black all the time. And for those old timers, the throw-back unis they've wore the past couple seasons.kalua pig wrote:what would work for you?cuz.EITSwarrior wrote:Nope. Too much going on.

So to chart it out sorta
Helmets: Dark Metallic Green (the ones they have now)
White
Tops: Black
Green
White
Pants:Black
Green
White
Socks and Shoes
I prefer black shoes and socks
Mix and match how you please.

For me gotta wait and see it up close in Game 1.
To me the retro jerseys are cool, BUT only should be worn on Homecoming

We might get our butts kicked on Saturday but at least we'll look good...

I like the retro away unis better than our home ones last year.

Re: Sneak Peak at new Unis
Really? On the road against Ohio St. Bad enough already they gonna lose, most likely badly. Now they're wearing this. They'll be laughed at for losing and for wearing that. At least wear it at home where fans know the significance of it.
And I thought UH was concerned about consistent brand identity to not confuse people. Not gonna help that by bringing back the Rainbow outside of retro night.

Re: Sneak Peak at new Unis
I'm no big fan of these "throwback" unis, lets get that out of the way. But I also realize a lot of people do, so fine let's have this option. What I can't reconcile is this seemingly random use. To my thinking throwbacks are best for Homecoming or home games against your old time rival (think BYU).
Bad call to use them for this game, the national impression won't be positive.
P.S. Of course I'd love to see an upset win, but I fear the unis will be the most memorable thing about this game.

Re: Sneak Peak at new Unis
I actually like them, but why debut vs. Ohio State? Rainbow helmet, all white...this is too retro lol. Retro back to days that weren't so good. Save that for a winnable road game.

Re: Sneak Peak at new Unis
I agree, this uniform should have been saved for a mwc/old wac team like a nevada, unlv, etc
Re: Sneak Peak at new Unis
Somewhat national broadcast against the #1 team in the country. UA knows this will get more eyeballs than any other MWC game this season. At least you'll see it on Sportscenter when they're showing highlights of the blowout.
Re: Sneak Peak at new Unis
We should wear the all-whites we wore for the Sugar Bowl against Ohio State this weekend.

This exactly how these sports businesses operate. More eyeballs, more sales, better negotiating position for UH.tavarua88 wrote:Somewhat national broadcast against the #1 team in the country.

I LOVE the Tomey-era throwbacks. Good luck vs. Ohio State today!

Not sure these uniforms will get UH better sales, at least outside of the already established UH fan base.415hawaiiboy wrote:This exactly how these sports businesses operate.
