Ugliest of All Time?

Post by WA Warrior »

I concur!

The uniform didn't scare OSU, it might have made them laugh a lot.

And it did inspire UH to score a goose egg!

Please for the love of all that is good, do not field this, or anything like this uniform again. EVER!

Nah, I like the look, I wouldn't want them for every game though.

The retro jersey is the nicest uniforms we've had since the June Jones era. It's also been well received all over.

Guess if you have some kind of prejudice you might not like them.

I have prejudice against uniforms and old logos that have no point and relevance anymore, especially on the road. Recruits, especially the good ones needed to turn the program around don't want anything to do with them. It also divides what's left of the fanbase.

Only place where they should be seen is on retro night once a year.

What proof do you have that it affects recruiting?

No solid proof, other than what I hear second from friends and family of local recruits. Plus input from high school classmates who played played football. We were discussing UH football and uniforms and nickname came up. I asked them straight up if the rainbow nickname, logo and uniforms was a pro or con. Majority said it was a con. These are local guys mind you who know and understand what the rainbow means. Now ask a mainland recruit the same question. What do you think they're gonna say?

Now I need some background on you. How old are you? I'm 28, relatively close to current recruits and players.

As a local I understand what the rainbow means and I defend to to mainlanders. But IF UH wants a no kidding winner and top recruits from the mainland, they gotta get with the times. I think people living on the islands are a bit out of touch with what the perception is in pure football sense. So it's either play the game or be happy with bottom of the barrel teams. I still wear my almost 20 year old Rainbows sweats and I have an old Rainbow hat I will wear on occasion, but sheesh, let's look forward and stop reliving in the past, both in play and in uniform. The folks back home don't have to defend the uniform like those of us living on the mainland, you give it a try all week long without any help. Go on, try it.

When it comes to ugliest uniform, besides the Gaybow Whites, I'm also partial to the IMUA uniform. Both came under Norm Chow BTW.

People uniforms don't win games period. As for recruiting, we don't have a sponsor in our backyards like Oregon and can't afford 30 jersey combos. Come back to reality. Plus, there were some epic wins when UH used those jerseys. Some need to get over their bias bc of the "rainbow" crap.

I do feel like UH can have a better design then the newly revealed jersey, which seems like a Pop Warner teams jersey. The poly design is soooo generic and crappy. With all of the talented tattoo artist in Hawaii, they can have a contest for the winning design and not have someone without any poly design knowledge make a horrible pattern.
Be humble and confident in yourself and all things you do. :zook:
