sorry 92, we share the same brain on this one lol.
My only complaint this season...the throwbacks look SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than our current uniforms that I am pissed we aren't wearing throwback whites on the road. I hate our current uniforms...probably has a LOT to do with the lack of success they represent. I am also a bit superstitious...and we are 2-0 in throwbacks so why not give it a run on the road? Hell, after last year's win, I was hoping we might just decide to wear those for a few more games.
Really would like to see the throwback jerseys here permanently.
What do the players say about them?
Fify.
Wondering if AllBuffs could spear a campaign to get the Buffs to change back their uniforms permanently? The AD seems to be more accepting of fan input, I can't imagine that the cost would be prohibitive since we've already bought (or been given by Nike?) a whole bunch of them, would just need to get the roadies converted and spray paint the helmets that pale gold color. Probably too much to ask to get the 'Pigalo' unslanted, but the uniforms seem feasible to me.
Did anyone else notice that speedy had a buff decal on the front of his helmet? I thought the paint just chipped off the helmet but later I saw that it was the ralphie decal that was obviously put on wrong.
Really? I saw that and thought it was chipped paint, too. Got a picture? Are you saying he had 3 decals on his helmet?
Looks like we will be keeping these uniforms! I emailed Bohn last night thanking him for the great job on the 1990 reunion and asked him if we could go back to these jersey's because they look great. I mentioned how many of the historical schools keep the same jersey i.e. USC, Bama, ND, Texas, Michigan, Ohio state and that it would be good to see CU go back to the old jerseys and develop an identity with them. This was what I got back--"Thank you for the kind note and feedback. I agree on the jerseys and plan to keep them"

I emailed Bohn on Monday saying almost the exact same thing. Responded the same way. So glad that we are hopefully getting rid of the current nike get up.
Nike has a big say in this and that's not going to change. They'll want to have something that's their unique design. They'll also want some variety so that there are extra merchandising opportunities. We'll probably get our throwback look, but there will be some compromise.
Did Bohn say anything (or was he asked) about the road unis? Those need to go back to old school as well, with black pants only.
I have to believe they have seen an increase in sales of jerseys this season - enough to make them think.
