...that Adidas shit actually looks worse than when you occasionally see one of those stories where someone gets a fancy pants European designer to propose the unifrom of the future and he presents unitards or fur collars or some ridiculous shit like that.
Edit: On second tought, a fur collar (if it was 100 % real wolverine fur) might be kind of a cool touch for, like, a November snow bowl-style game.

Russell Athletics is terrible. Have you seen some of the crap Georgia Tech's been wearing over the past couple years?
I would go Russell < Adidas < Under Armour < Nike.

Apparently this is what we narrowly avoided wearing...not sure if it has been posted elsewhere:

uniforms? Football is one thing, because of our tradition there, but is what clothing we wear really a big deal?
I care about how our boys play and the result of the game. If we beat Indiana in the NC, I don't care if we are wearing pink with red tutu's on. It's just a piece of clothing to advertise a brand people.
Let's care more about the kids committed to Michigan than the jerseys they are forced to wear.
/end rant
/sorry for harsh tones

"...is what clothing we wear really a big deal?"
No, it isn't a big deal. At least it shouldn't be. Nobody really cares which is exactly why they wear uniforms. And that is exactly why uniforms should be relatively standard looking and unchanging from year to year (let alone game to game).
Yet, some asshole designers & marketing experts can't resist stirring the pot. All these uniformz shenanigens amount to one of the biggest trolling operations of all time and it needs to stop so that we can get back to not caring about this stupid non-issue.
March 14th, 2013 at 11:52 AM ^
If it is a "stupid non-issue" in the first place, then why do you care about it so much? And if you are used to not caring about the uniforms, then why do the changes rile you?
March 14th, 2013 at 12:04 AM ^
I bet we will wear the camo at some point this weekend

You realize this is the beginning of Unipocalypse! Or is it Unigeddon? I forget.
old ideas. Some people forget but there was a phase in the 90's when the uni's got pretty stupid, not this god awful stupid but for the time they were stupid.
1996 Kentucky wore these "acid wash" denim things. They also had shorts with blue that was supposed to look like a wild cat shredded the shorts sometime around then.
I believe Syracuse has destroyed all evidence of the body suit uniforms they wore for a couple game in the Rony Seikely days.
....is up after 2016-17. With DB steering the ship, it's going to come down to money and probably nothing else. If Nike offers a better deal, we'll switch back. If they don't, we'll stay with Adidas.
Whining about it will change nothing.
I actually did catch part of the Rutgers-ND game last night, and it was difficult to watch A) Rutgers play basketball, and B) the shade of green Adidas chose for Notre Dame's socks and shoes. It harkened back to a time when radium was used in self-luminous paints basically, it was that green. The players that had kneepads on basically looked like glow sticks in motion. It was odd, to say the least.
'looks like someone toned down the Irish hideousness a little. On the wide TV shots, I didn't see the camo print right away, but I couldn't avoid the socks and kneepads...the color of a bad night of drinking.

My guess is that this picture wasn't taken shortly after a staffer restocked the rack. We'll see these popping up in developing countries in years to come.

I just don't understand why ND would allow Adidas to use a green that is close to kelly green, but definitely not kelly green. Those kneepads look like mint toothpaste.
