Find in a new trim design for green on both uniforms, because under armour sucks when it comes to designing UH's uniforms.

I wouldn't mind an all green home uniform too if they did away with the black.
This is a good color scheme:

I like more green too. That black look was mean back in Y2K. But it has been overplayed as more teams are moving with more colors. Kids like colors and how it looks on them. I would not be surprise to see neon colors.

No no no to neon colors. For uniforms I always go by K.I.S.S (Keep It Simple Stupid). Our current uniform set is great as is. Could I do with green and white pants and helmet colors to go along with the black to increase the combinations we can do, yes. Can UH afford it, probably not. The most flamboyant I want our uniforms to be is the 2008-2010 uniforms. Anything more than that was ugly and trying too hard.

Maybe we could afford it as coach said he will be heavily into fundraising as well, so get chance?

If can, can, if no can, you know still can lol

If anything, Coach Graham would not be able to impact any new uniform until his second season and have to continue with what's currently in-house or already in the pipeline. These things take a lot of time on the design, approval and manufacturing sides.

Personally it's subjective. Neon colors wouldn't make sense historically. If we were to be bold, i believe we were Green jerseys with gold helmets and gold pants when we were the Fighting Deans?

My request would be: Be an act like a general. Have players and fans look up to you, respect you and support the team. Look the part, and carry yourself with dignity. Don't have bad cues or quirks, like the last one had. If everything falls in place there should be a good bonding between players and fans.

I don’t want us to try and copy Oregon with regards to the flashiness of their uniforms.

I agree with that 100% because money is tight. HC's contract cost more, new stadium, etc.

But kids like color. It matters how they look in the uniforms. I didn't make this us. There was something written about that, where the color of the uniform does matter, and how they look in it.

So, the all black look was and still is in. Safe color and can't go wrong. Everyone wants to look "mean."

Basketball team already did that in the early ‘90s.
