Georgia's Nike Uni's

GO AWAY NIKE!!!!!!

You can tool with Oregon all you want...BUT LEAVE MY SILVER BRITCHES ALONE!!

That is atrocious.

Good to know Southern Schools have their price, for awhile, I thought only West Coast schools could be bought and sold.

Too much Red! And the red on the helmet clashes with the uni. And why are the belts so notable now on all of these? You could put one of those George Strait buckles on it.

Players? Yes, (see Auburn). But leave the uni's alone.

There has always been ugly uniforms...but what is with these schools that forgo their school colors...seems semi lunacy.

Money, Money, Money, Money!

The thing is..the uni's are a litmus test for age.

Players and young guys love them...older guys don't. We did a poll on the Nole board by age category. It was not surprising that age factored in heavily on whether one liked the uniform or not.

And that is all right. My mom and dad (40's kids) didn't like the hippie look of the 60's, I don't like the hip hop look while my son thinks that old clips of basketball players in their short shorts are hysterical. "Dad, you guys were sooooo gay!".

Other that the looks of these uniforms, on a serious note, which make me wonder why we should be serious when we are talking about the P.T. Barnum National Collegiate Football scene...or is that the Police Gazette, remember when the Police Gazette use to be in every barber shop and as a kid we loved to read it...and sneak looks at heavin' bosoms in "male" magazines..I digress....on the uniforms. Uniforms have significantly changed the nature of the game. I am of the opinion, that the increase in injuries may well be because of the uniform changes. The "combat" uniforms use compression as a mean of muscle acceleration. I am not sure there are any conclusive studies they actually work, but they do sell uniforms. The point is, when you are so protected there is a feeling of invincibility. Players believe they can run into stone walls and 333 lb linemen and never be hurt. Their bodies no longer are a warning sign of what may be "too much." Then with the increase of speed and strength, angle and leverage can do significant damage. Most of the sports medicine articles are still skeptical of the protection being given players. Taking away the bodies natural waring sensations may not be all that advisable.

I am not purposing going back to leather helmets..although, I like the look Mr. Billybud...I am old. What I am suggesting is there are limits and pushing the envelope has made young men and women, pretty expendable.

This is "pushing the envelope"...

A work up for a Gator Pro Combat...tee hee hee
