Yeah, the sight of players running out carrying those shields looked funny to me also. Just didn't look right.
Would look better if the team took the field with the flags like before and maybe put the
logo on one of the flags instead.

The flag idea works for me!

It might be kinda cool having a few of the guys leading the way out with the
carried like a battle crest, followed by the team and others with the regular flags. Excuse the goofy picture, but it's sort of what I'm talking about:
I hope we don't use the blue-orange-blue combination.
Looks too much like Virginia to me.

Really hoping to see Blue-Orange-White ala the Bears alternates.

I'll throw Orange/Orange/Blue out there, just to be different.
Right there with ya!
White/Orange/White again.
Seconded! On an urelated note it's fun to watch other teams in their new uni's this year. I really like the orange Boise had on. Louisville looked a train wreck but they played well enough; liked the charcoal color and hated their goofy helmets. With some of the crap I've been seeing I'm feeling like we dodged a bullet and did pretty well for ourselves.
Blue-orange-white and the defense pushes for a change! Can't wait for game day.
I don't think there was anything that showed that when the players were running onto the field. The players have embraced the shield logo since it came out from everything I've seen.
I was about to say that too. It's great that he's letting the seniors decide, but they need to make sure they don't pick the same combo every time.

The logo, yes, but the actual shields, not so much.
One "I" flag and one shield flag, as another poster mentioned, would be ideal.

I almost kind of agree with you, but it's pretty hilarious to say the players shouldn't be able to choose what they wear.
They should have a say, but they should also be steered a little bit once in a while, otherwise there's no reason to have more than their favorite uniform.

If we really have no blue gear at all available this year, then there are only 8 possible combinations to choose from. So, we'll be doubling up at least 4 times no matter what.

This is a very true statement, and as far as I'm concerned I'll leave it to the team and staff to wear what they want. They don't owe it to anyone to choose color x once in a while.

We're still doing that B1G championship game "12/6/14" wristband thing? Maybe we win more than 0.5 B1G conference games for a few consecutive seasons before we push on that one too hard.

Besides white helm the other items in sight are a white jersey, orange pants (I think so), orange helm, maybe first away game.
Are the shields performance based additions? Like the OSU buckeye stickers? If so I like it.
Yes - offensive, defensive and special teams player of the game is what Beckman said when the rebrand was introduced.
