I just wanna get some takes, Who thinks we should maybe spice up our jersey's? I know that it's tradition and I respect that Tremendously, but I'm just wondering who wouldn'nt mind something new....Maybe some Houndstooth around the collar? If you do like the idea of something new and/or just ideas for an alternate uniform all together please comment and tell us your ideas.
Thanks,

Have you sen th Oregon locker room? I saw it on TV and holy ship Batman......
that place is awesome. Flat screens all over the place. Freaking two levels with leather everything. I bet there’s even an automatic air freshner to take the random smell of a fart out of the air.

funny you mention flat screens
when Mall Moore was initially showing Saban the facilities at 5:30 am he stopped to show him the weight room. Saban saw all the flat screens around the room and asked “wtf?” He then told Mal to have the tv’s out of there before the players reported to duty at 6am, as they were “distractions from the process.”

Those houndstooth jerseys...

Alabama’s uniforms are original and unique. Just as our helmets our… changing the uniform scheme up would be just as heart-breaking as taking the numbers off our helmets and replacing them with our logo.
I love our uniforms and helmets because (like I said) they’re original and unique and I honestly wouldn’t trade them for a national championship! If we were to change both of these, THEN we’d be like everybody else.

From the article,
# 1969, Alabama wore red helmets featuring a football-shaped white “100” sticker to celebrate the 100th anniversary of college football.
- 1983: Alabama wore a houndstooth hat sticker on the back of the helmets in memory of Bryant, who died on January 26, 1983.
- 1992: Alabama wore a centennial patch on the left shoulder to commemorate the 100th season of Crimson Tide football.
- 2005: Alabama wore a helmet sticker displaying the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida to honor the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
- 2006: Alabama is wearing a 175th anniversary patch to commemorate the anniversary of the University of Alabama.I’m ok with stickers or memorials on rare occasions, but change for the sake of change is out of the question!

There is not one
thing about our current uniform I would change although I wish we did not allow duplicate numbers.
Bama’s uniforms say “Class” and “Tradition.”
And, hey we have hands down the best color for football uniforms PERIOD, although Oklahoma’s which are very similar also look good. There are some pretty ugly uniforms out their starting with Oregon, VT, and Clemson.

Agree. They all have terrible
color schemes as orange just messes up about every other color.
I will say I’m not sure how I feel about UT’s black shirts they wore Sat. Of course black is not one of their colors so when and if they wear it again what they are really saying is that our true colors of puke orange and white make even us sick.

wonder if the helmet/uni...

by RammerJammer23 on Nov 4, 2009 2:16 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
well, one thing that concerns me a bit on that score...
is the recent decision against the university in the daniel moore case. the argument by the university held that the uniforms themselves were intellectual property. it seems to me this is because there isn’t any trademarked logo on the helmets represented in the painting in question.
the judge’s ruling was thus worded: “The court does not agree that they are inherently distinctive,”noting that “crimson is a variation of red colors used by many teams.” making it seem the “old skool” look is actually a legal hindrance in terms of the university’s ability to control the team’s image.
the simple solution would seem to make a logo, trademark it and slap it on the side of the helmet. which i desperately hope does not come to pass.

I may be wrong here and my vision isn't 20/20 but in the SECCG and against VT
the Alabama helmets had a deep rich Crimson look with a hell of a shine to them. Like they were waxed or something. Maybe it’s just the effects of the Georgia Dome or HD TV. But to me they looked awesome. Really
