Oregon has completely lost their identity. You can see them on TV and 90% of the time I don't know who it is.

That *is* Oregon's identity though, and while I'm a big traditionalist otherwise, I think it works for them.

I'm just hoping the Saban era ending doesn't lead to any gimmicky Bama uniforms. One lid, one pair of pants, one home jersey, one road jersey. That's all we need.

Everyone left the hand drawn logos by the end of the 90’s it seemed. The UConn 2002 Husky is a pretty good update if it had to be done. The red tongue was a great touch.

The 1959 dog looks like he got caught pooping on the carpet.

This one might have been a throwback to the Ernie and Bernie era. For some reason I remember it. They have something similar now, minus the stylized font.

I wish Kansas State could play in their two tones more than once a season. The double lavender look is not my cup of tea.

In my house, we refer to the 1959 Husky as "Constipated Husky" - he looks mighty uncomfortable and backed up.

Memphis plays in their 80s/90s design uniforms about 10 times a season.

Thanks for that but I am looking for the opposite uniform to the lower picture with Tripuka.

They wore them as their home uniforms and looked white on TV, but they were actually very light green.

This, maybe?

I found this pic earlier but didn't post it originally because, upon further inspection, it looked white to me. But I'm probably partially colorblind.

IIRC Cincinnati was one of the first to rock Jordan uniforms. I recall NC A&T, Cal, and St. John's were some of the early adopters.

It's cool to see Cincinnati keep these uniforms alive!

I went to see them play Xavier at the riverfront coliseum in Cincinnati.

Xavier wore white. Notre Dame wore those^^^ as the away team.

RE: Why Do Schools Ditch Iconic Looks?
I liked Old Dominion's look for the early to mid-90's, where an obnoxiously giant "OLD" was placed above the number on the front of the jersey, and a slightly smaller "Dominion" was underneath. Two blue shades, white, and I think a hint of gray trim? Always like that.

Thank you, and, yes. Even Googling Chris Gatling isn't providing great looks at the blue uniforms.

Far from iconic, but I loved Baylor's neon yellow look. Made me a fan. I also love the bright green for South Florida. I wish they would make it primary. I love it when schools go wild like that.

Can any UConn fans explain this jersey? I saw one of these last week at the Big East tournament.

I loved that uni era. I think we have one set that has some of those elements.

They were obviously green live and in person. A very unique uniform.
