Agreed with all new comments … uniforms keep looking better and better, and navy pants on the road with this set would be an incredible look.

I'm really starting to LOVE the navy blue jerseys with the orange pants. I am not, however, feeling the white and white combo. At all. Maybe combining the white jersey with the orange pants would help, but I'm not sure. Overall just excited to see these in action during a real game!

the best answer there is white jersey with blue pants
I think the all white look great, just can’t wait for us to change that number font.

This plus those white pants for the PSU game?
Blue pants don't do much for me. I think they will primarily wear orange pants with the white jerseys. Just didn't here so both sides weren't wearing the same pants.
I will say they unis look better in action photos than they did in the stock photos.

They look fantastic. Still, I hope we see white on orange a lot more than we see white on white.

This is my pitch for navy pants. Unlike many schools like Alabama, Texas, Oklahoma, etc., we have two very bold primary colors (i.e., we are not just one color and white/gray/gold/black). An example of a breakdown of the Big Ten is below, but I do not think our uniforms look as good if we are only highlighting one of those colors at a time ... it's one of my biggest issues with the old football away jerseys (plain orange number on plain white jersey with almost no blue to be seen) and the current "default" basketball jerseys (plain white font on plain orange jersey or plain orange font on plain white jersey).
One Color Plus White: Indiana, Michigan State, Nebraska, Northwestern, Penn State, Rutgers, Wisconsin
One Color Plus "Accent" Color: Maryland (uses yellow more sparingly), Ohio State (gray is clearly an accent color), Purdue (I would argue their shade of gold functions as more of an accent)
Genuinely Two "Bold" Colors: Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota
I get why some people might not like this, but I just think it looks kind of cool and unique when the away uniform can incorporate BOTH of the primary colors along with the white, as so few teams have the option to even do that in a non-ridiculous manner to begin with:

Again, this is totally my personal taste, AND I want to say that I think the new O/W/O uniform set looks absolutely awesome. With that said, if you ask me, this color combo below blows the other pictures out of the water ... ESPECIALLY with our new uniform design!
I've been dying on this hill for years. You should only wear white pants if you have no other good option, it's boring and makes everyone just look so similar. If you have 2 colors, use them to their full potential!This is my pitch for navy pants.

Now the last uni set took it too far and eliminated white completely. But now that we've got our helmet and pant stripes back it breaks things up much nicer. Burn all the white pants.

If that is the case, it’s more likely there are delays in Nike getting us blue pants and orange jerseys, while the blue and white tops and white and orange pants were prioritized. If I remember quickly, they probably were going to release the set earlier in the year, but Nike faced delays. So maybe they got us the bare minimum and the rest will come when Nike isn’t as rushed for the start of the season.

This would not surprise me. Given there is an orange (fan version of a) jersey already being sold, I am fairly confident that we will go O/O/W for that Penn State "orange out" game ... and I think that would be a really slick look with the white pants we have now. If you will allow me to dazzle you all with my artistic ability for a moment...

Speculative uniform mock-ups, expansive posts with visual examples, guesses at season combos….it’s past due but just want to formally welcome @Fighter of the Nightman to the True Uniform Sickos Crew, and also lend my sword to his Crusade for BPOTR (blue pants on the road)

Looks like #TeamShield can spend some time supporting our women's soccer team if they want to get their shield fix...

^ Without giving my opinion on the shield, I do think the stripes look pretty slick!
Not in love with the back of the jersey. Looks like they put the jersey on backwards. but the shield and the stripe look great on those kits

As an owner of several women's soccer jerseys and a long-time member of team shield, I'd grab those immediately if they sold them.Looks like #TeamShield can spend some time supporting our women's soccer team if they want to get their shield fix...
