Yep, need to go back to the classic look.

I liked how defenders could see their reflection in the back of the chrome helmets!

But unlike a car mirror objects were not closer than they appeared. They just kept getting smaller and smaller as Taywan and Nicholas disappeared.

We just signed a new contract with Russell Athletic that is located right here in Bowling Green. We are to Russell what Oregon is to Nike. Anxious to see what their top of the line stuff is now. This last set of uniforms we had were a major success.

And Russell is to Nike what Cricket is to AT&T.

I would take a new iPhone 7 from Cricket over a Motorola flip phone from AT&T. Because that is about the equivalent of what most schools get from Nike.

Oh, right, because where our uniforms are just uniforms, your Russell threads are wifi enabled and relay real time vital signs for all players, on top of of course making your players run faster, hit harder, recover faster, do better in class and actually lowers their cholesterol.

The problem with your analogy is that Cricket doesn't make the phone and in my analogy Russel is Cricket.

If you want to go with the hardware analogy I'd say it's more like you have the latest model from LG or Motorola where we have a model or two older version from Apple or Samsung.

Geez man. There was no need for all of that. I used to manage a cell phone store for a regional carrier affiliated with Verizon a few years ago.

You made the initial reference. If you want be technical with everything one could argue that your initial comparison was false seeing as how cricket doesn't have any of its own towers and relies on AT&T or Verizon towers to provide service for its customers. And also neither carrier provides or makes any of the phones. Phones are however made with internal components specific to each major carrier.

But I digress. Your initial jab plus my counter jab was all that was needed. I never expected to start debating cell phone/carrier specifics in a sports forum.

It's who he is... Don't try to have a reasonable convo with him about wku. I think the pres musta slept with his wife once

I'll take our RA deal everyday of the week. Look at most of these Nike unis... Marshall, Middle, UK.... all the same layout with diff. colors

What are you talking about? I respect Western more than most. I took a pot shot at Russel Athletic and that means I can't have a reasonable "convo" about WKU and the "pres"(never met the man) "musta" slept with my wife(not married).

I'm as big a champion of our rivalry as you'll ever find, before either of us were invited to CUSA, I said constantly that I'd be incredibly disappointed if either of us moved without the other and I'll say the same again. Please find one example of me using any of the name or mascot smack that many of my fellow Raider fans direct at Western.

I love the chrome look and it really doesn't matter what us fans want...The kids who actually put the real uniforms on are all that matters and they love the chrome look! If they are happy I am happy...

Little preview of new uniforms before Saturday. Supposedly retro meets the current. Tribute to former coach Feix who wore a plaid houndstooth fedora. You can see the detail in helmet stripe with black chrome helmet.

Jimmy Feix was one of the good guys that coached because he loved the game. He and Bear Bryant did have something else in common ...other than being a coach

These new uni's look sharp

Loving the new look... more classic looking than the previous set. No one else in America will have this uniform design. great job by RA again.

They look good toppers but maybe I haven't paid enough attention in the past. They aren't that different than last year are they?.

The pants are very similar. The jerseys are quite different. These have stripes on the shoulders, Hilltopper on the chest, and some unique symbols and quotes associated with WKU. Same school crest in the #'s. Thanks for the compliment.

We will probably get he same ESPN announcers complaining about the black on red numbers that are hard for them to see, while they promo their upcoming P5 game
