Had a few friends who are SEC fans here in Kansas and both said they really liked the new uni's. Both happened to catch a few minutes of the Neb game and commented on the new look. It was nice to get an outsiders opinion.

The orange stripe on the pants still bothers me. Middle stripe should be white.

I really hope they do away with the two tone script. It just doesn't look good.

The font/script was a big miss with this project, imo. I was hoping for something like Michigan State's.

How is it much different? Both are similar with the difference that Michigan state's tails on the letters are pointed and ours are kind of squares. Also while the two-tone look may not be popular with everyone, I think it looks great on backgrounds that aren't orange or blue. And it's unique.

It looks really good on the grey. Coach Salem's daughter tweeted this picture of the basketball office a while back:

The two-tone is the worst part about it in my opinion. I agree it looks much better on a grey or white background though.

The font to me is just not aesthetically pleasing. Too blocky (the squares you mentioned) and the I/1 thing just seems like a lame reach. I was hoping for a font that looks good on everything, and this doesn't look good on shirts/shorts, even though it looks decent enough on jerseys and banners and stuff.

Again, this is all a matter of opinion, and I should mention that I suck at design. Just my thoughts on it.

Have to say I haven't seen our boys on TV yet with the orange helmets, but how different are they from Syracuse? That would explain the "shipment error" for the wrong shade of orange. Their uniforms tonight look like what ours will when we finally get blue

The Syracuse helmets don't have the center stripe and the letter is blue. The orange shades are similar. The uniforms don't look that similar other than the colors.
