I think black pants would have looked better with the white jersey. With the loss I don't know if we will ever wear those jerseys again.

I also vote for never wearing those particular pants again outside of practice use.
Many on here will think I'm crazy, but I attribute part of the loss to those red pants. We should have kept the black pants so that we not only looked more like this year's Huskies, they would have played more like this year's Huskies. IMO, the black pants-white jerseys-black helmets that we traditionally wear for road games looks more menacing and would have been a better contrast.

I love the Huskie head logo on the side of the pants. Just the red pants...not a fan.

It's funny how familiarity molds perceptions.

FSU was basically wearing gold lamé spandex, as they have for years, but we think our team looked weird in red pants.

I still think if we wanted to do an alt kit silver pants would work. Match the numbers and have a little fun, but the red pants look like pajama bottoms.

I actually liked the red pants. I have thought for a while that we needed more cardinal red in our uniforms. I also liked the silver numbers, I do however think silver pants would not look right. I wouldn't want to go away from the black on black home scheme but for the road scheme I like the red.
