Seems like this is a good thread to start for gameday unis. Not sure if we have had one before. Interested to see what the rest of the conference has throughout the season. These are the throwback helmets (late 90s early 2000s) that Sam Houston is wearing for the homecoming game this weekend vs NMSU.

Well if I could ever figure out how to post a picture on rhese threads I’d do it.

All I can say for Liberty is….
White helmets with white “Flames” script.
Light Blue jerseys.
Whit pants.

I really dislike the script helmets. They are unreadable from TV and the stands. It comes off as a blur or smear.

Stick with the “LU” or Sparky logo.

We are rocking the White helmets with the Big Red football logo on the sides. Red tops and bottoms on the uni.

This is the easiest way I’ve found to post pictures. It’s a very roundabout way and I’m sure there’s easier ways but here’s mine:
-Go to DuckDuckGo.com
-Search for image you want
-Go to Images tab
-Click on image
-Click “View File”
-Copy url of new window that opens
-On this site click Insert Image button
-Delete default “http:/“ text in prompt box and paste url you copied

You can do this with any image if it’s the url assigned to that image. Like when you’re reading an article and you click an image and it opens a web page just showing that image. I only use DuckDuckGo because it’s the easiest for me to open just the image alone from a search and not open the web page containing the image. Idk if I’m explaining it right.

Needless to say this site is one of the hardest to do simple things lol I still don’t know how to use the numbered/bulleted list buttons, obviously.

For UTEP’s game at Colorado State (soon of the PAC 12), CSU will be wearing all white as the home team so UTEP gets to wear home UNIs. Haven’t seen what combo of colors yet but I hope they wear all orange just to be obnoxious.

100% agree. I don’t understand using some generic script over the LU. And it’s not just the football team using the script, practically all of our sports teams are using it. As you said, you can’t even make out what it is. Especially the ones they’re wearing this week. Might as well just wear a plain white helmet.

Great, a uniform thread!!!

I'm a simple-minded fan, I like traditional, don't change very much, uniforms. For Tech, that means sticking mostly with red. I do like the road unis we wore at NC State, if you happened to see the game.

Now, more to the point. Have you noticed that some, ahem, pretty good football power programs don't give a hoot about joining the silly "uniform" clown show? Namely, Penn State, Alabama, Notre Dame, etc. they, and others, wear very simple unis which practically haven't changed in like FOREVER! And, they seem to do okay in what matters, results. Just saying.

Notre Dame uses alternate uniforms. And I'm not sure Alabama's success or Penn State's relative success has anything to do with their (very cool) traditional uniforms.

Tech will wear Red this week, and the patriotic helmet sticker logo.

Counterpoint: Oregon

(...to be clear, I'm a fan of simple uniforms and am of the opinion that Sam's current set is the best we've ever had, with some occasional throwback helmets to change things up)

I love the Sammy home all orange with the SH and paw and the alternate old bearcat cartoon logo.

Liberty going white - powder blue- white
Considerable debate with LU fans on powder blue.

I think they look fantastic, minus the script on the logo. How many teams have the same script alt helmets? A bunch!

I *love* that we made the walking Sammy part of the rebrand- I was a student in the late 00’s (07-13), but the old walking Sammy was always a favorite of mine.

To that point, I was also glad we did a full overhaul before we went on to win the National Championship, I was always of the opinion the old logos/color scheme looked super dated (and not in a cool, throwback way). Simpler is better imho.

As a kid that grew up on Oilers football (before, as an economics professor I once had called him, that two-bit ******* Bud Adams pulled the ripcord), I’m a huge fan of the powder blue/red/white

Why is this an important thread?

I love it!

Also, what better weekend to pull it out than CFAW? The current students, players, & upcoming classes love the look, so a brilliant idea to break them out for potential future students!

I recognize that Sammy fans are likely having Luv Ya Blue thoughts.

100%.

Obligatory "screw Bud Adams".

I liked those too, and I'm starting to wish we'd streamline a bit and stick with that on the road and the flip at home - staying with the traditional red helmets of course.

Felt like I had to bump this with Delaware's alternate drop, which is a refresh of the all-black set used at home on certain occasions. The alternate helmet is the same in winged helmet terms, but its color scheme being shuffled to fully match the "midnight" concept is a major moment. I've never seen a Blue Hens game without the blue and gold lids, though they've adjusted in tone over the years. I'm going to wait to see how they look under the lights. I'm glad the helmet is winged in terms of that pattern of course staying as the base, but ambivalent about the color choice till I see it in person. I understood there were some questions in the past among some (possibly) about how much the regular, primary B&G lid matched the all-black.

Choosing the all-black look at home for a night game on ESPN2 this week was never a surprise, nor is the timing of the update to the all-black that comes this season to catch up the black set with the other, more recent updates to home and away looks. But the helmet is attention-getting and historic for Delaware fans and maybe for anyone into unis.
