Bama's uniforms look like winning. They look like all the college football I have watched from the time I was in short pants.
Randomly throwing back to a time period virtually no one remembers accomplishes neither of those things. Illinois has played in a constellation of different uniforms over the course of history and has more often than not done so poorly.
Boring uniforms don't make you Alabama. Winning national titles across five different decades always in the same boring uniforms makes you Alabama.
And Auburn's uni's are better anyway.
Well said. I have struggled to illustrate that point as well as you have. When you win in the uniform you are wearing, you are less likely to make a huge change. There's a reason the Chicago White Sox will always wear those pinstripes and why the Cardinals never change their look. The Bulls will never change their look. Once you win with a certain look, that certain look is associated with winning.
