[emoji23] our football team has been playing like it is.
Time to step outside the box.
It's being revealed to us a little at a time, kind of like:
YMSSR. I loved that movie!
Its not like we get to design our own collars. We get a selection of base jerseys from nike, we picked a base jersey with flywire. CU is not manufacturing its own clothing, never has, never will. We get what we get and then we give input on the design. THats how it has always worked. Having the flywire jerseys is a step in the right direction no matter how dumb or small the detail is.
I was hoping it would be different on Friday.

Reading through this I've realized that I actually really do care about our uniforms. Growing up a CU fan, the jerseys were always part of the allure-the black and gold!
I hate to say it but our uniforms have looked dated pretty much since Barnett left. I didn't love the Hawkins era jerseys but they are awful now. They have been like a half assed throwback attempt that failed. Also, The black helmets of the past few years are awful- like, vomit inducing bad.
That being said, I could see a matte black helmet looking cool and even a silver matte helmet being a cool change of pace for a game or two. BUT the classic gold helmets are the CU brand and are very important to me as a fan. I hope they are emphasized and mostly live on, but I'm open to some changes otherwise as the uniforms are just another part of CU football that has fallen behind since the Barnett years

Obviously you've never been to the south.

For the games before Labor Day.
CU has always been on the cutting edge of uniform design?
This is one of the dumbest posts you've written. NSIS
It's definitely not sarcasm.

I personally love the embedded image of the flatirons in the flywire design
Ugh. I can't believe I just read that thread.

This new uniforms font looks a lot like the 2001 Buffs. I liked those jerseys a lot. The COLORADO isn't as overpowering with the COLORADO softly stated on the jersey. And having stitched on anything shows it is more expensive and freaking cooler.
Will be cool to see what is unveiled Friday. Wish I could be on-campus.
And all the hate towards 'Tini/Tini is great. I remember being a know-it-all college kid with a single friend on the team. I thought I knew it all too. Back then it was the crap board Netbuffs. One day Tini you will learn to just eat words and ignore idiots that act your age when they should be acting 10-30 years older. Get off Tini, like he just got off your mom.

Neither the numbers or the lettering aren't currently stitched on... Go back like 4 pages to see the comparison.
False
The Barnett one may have had a stitched gold outline around the numbers, but the rest were not. It wasn't screen printing, but it was in that same kind of family.

Uh okay, I'll correct you, you're wrong. Last few years, since year before Embree took over, was the screen print. I believe the ugly gold Hawkins ones were also screen printed. Last stitched were Barnett era and until they did the ugly mid 2000s unis.
Folsom Frenzy has just a little over 1K twitter followers. Student section the last couple years has been nearly empty.
Not a student, but I'm going to guess no. Doesn't seem like many even know we have a football team anymore.
Will be interesting how fast the culture shift happens if we start winning again.

Barnett unis numbers were stitched numbers (cloth), but yes I don't believe the COLORADO lettering has been. The names had been stitched on but the current unis do not even have the names stitched on.
The bandwagon fills up quickly when it comes to the students. As soon as it's a fun EVENT, they'll plan their Saturdays around it and a much higher of new applicants will have targeted CU because they want to go somewhere that has a nationally relevant football program.
