OT: Oregon PREGAME uniformz

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

Hopefully Pandora's box hasn't been opened.

Oregon had PREGAME uniforms and then changed into another uniform for their game against ASU.

So much face to palm.

Don't know if you've ever suited up for football at any level, but it's not exactly a quick process.

It's awkward and space is tight. I can only imagine how much worse it is in a cramped visitor's locker room. 

Instead of going over game plan, they're wasting time and being distracted because they're changing uniforms. 

In BLL, players acknowledged that the uniformz worn against MSU were a huge distraction because everyone was too busy changing out of their regular uniforms they were wearing during warm ups, and that they lost focus.

It just looks like the compression pants and compression tops they wear under their pads anyway? Not sure anything extra will be taken off or put on. Now the idea of decorating your base layers for commercial purposes is a different matter...

They have to put on the pads one way or the other and they do it in the locker room.  If they're just putting pads with a different jersey on over these, it's not a big deal.   If they're just changing the undershirt, it's not a big deal.  Some equipment dude puts the shoulder pads in the locker with the jersey already over the pads for them.

From all of the other comments this appears to be just a typical WolvDev overreaction.  

Michigan wore different jerseys over pads then went into the locker room and tried to change the jerseys. That's annoying.

Are you picturing Oregon rolling up to Arizona State and jumping off the bus in full pads?   The team gets off the bus and the locker room probably already looks something like this:

These pregame jerseys, shirts and pants would be in their locker and the game jerseys would be on the pads for them.

Sure, it's kinda dumb I guess. But they knew about it beforehand. Michigan didn't know about the Uniformz which made it an even harder turnaround.

In high school lacrosse, we had tuxedo shirt warmup uniforms, but they were just the shirts that go under your pads with a funny tuxedo shirt printed on the front. Took no extra time to put pads over. These look like that.

That's a terrible idea. I mean, who would warm up in one uniform and then go back into the locker room on a tight schedule to change into a completely different...dammit Dave...

It's not that crazy or absurd. They're simply capitalizing on an exciting "product". Football players don't do their entire pregame routine in full pads. To me, this is similar to the shooting shirt and pants in basketball or the shooters in lacrosse. I even remember taking the shoulder pads off at halftime some times. I'm sure someone will dig up a pic of denard,l throwing during pregame with headphones and a t shirt.

It's is far less crazy than say switching from full pads and unis to an ill-fitting bumble bee costume before a rivalry game.

<<<vigorous jerking off motion>>>

why the f is this thread worthy? who gives a shit about wardrobe changes prior to a game? Seems more like an attention/point thread to me.

Yes Sir..... This is the future for Mich football, Nike understands that some unis are the epidemy of college football, so they wont change it much...But we can change a pregame jersey dramatically.

The stuff in the photo is Pro Combat compression gear, which they most likely wear under everything anyway. So this is more likely to have zero impact on anything than be a game changing apparel decision. You are working yourself up into a lather over nothing.
