We should be paying Nike to be a part of things like this.

Elite uniforms = at least one additional 4 star player per year.

Vomit inducingly jealous.

Note to Catdom:

We have absolutely no uniform tradition whatsoever. We are not Penn St. or Notre Dame.

Therefore our one and only goal should be to be as progressive and unique as possible.

If the average fan said we have ugly uniforms, we'd be doing something right.

Those gawd-awful pastel purple pants we wore under Prince?  I vomit every time I see a highlight from last year.  Don't think that's indicative of doing anything right last year, except for canning his ass.

These Unis are sweet.  And yes, I agree that fashion has a factor on the field, I always love seeing what new, weird uniform Oregon is gonna have at every game.  You would think that being one of only a handful of schools to have an all-out NIKE contract (thank you Huggins) we would be getting in on the goods with some new uniforms.  Maybe OB is just too old and traditional to try something new, who knows... :confused:

These "Combat Unis" are fracking ugly and stupid as hell.

Oregon's parade of Nike abominations are ugly and stupid.

The idea that "darker color" equals "we mean business this time" is stupid and very stupid (see BYU and ku's attempts at reinventing their school colors).

There's a balance between traditional and new-school, but these ridiculous "Combat Uniforms" are at one end with Nebraska's N helmets and Penn State's junior-high practice squad unis at the other.

Snyder has our uniforms right.  Whoever said we have no uniform tradition so screw it needs to go sit in the corner and think about how bad you were.  We've had our Snyder-unis for 20 years, the Ron Prince crapty purple-pants nonwithstanding.  Purple jersey, silver pants with purple and white stripes, silver helmet with purple logo and purple and white stripes.  It's perfect for us and college football.  Leave it the frack alone.  If that's not good enough for you then maybe you should be prancing down the catwalk in Paris or Milan instead of watching college football.

Wow.  A uniform thread, with racism and over-the-top ridiculous talking points thrown in the mix.  (We aren't landing black QB recruits because of our uniforms?)  Is this a thread of parody posters?

Way to go, I guess.   :confused:

I like our new uni's the old ones were good in their time but the new are an improvement.  I am with dax though, I think we should go back to the shimmer pants.  

Oh and of course do something like white helmets and pants.  Would be redic. elite.  No changes to the overall scheme but just white instead of gray.  

Also, NFL style socks.

Something like this.....

I dont really like the purp helmets too much, but the purple pants are a nice touch if they keep the stripes.  We would also have our regular duds but have the alternate colors as an option.  I mean you could do alot of different combos.

This uniform is more than a uniform.  It includes the helmet and pads worn underneath. 

This jersey is more than a jersey.  It says We are Wildcats.  It says that we are angry, purple-wearing, hamstring-cutting balls of furry fury.  Not literally.  We thought about putting the word “Wildcats” right above the numbers on the front, but that’s just not stylish at all.  It's not actually written out, and the jersey doesn't talk, but nonetheless, the underlying sentiment implied by this jersey is that we are Wildcats. We are not a stupid grazing animal, nor are we a wagon that gets hitched to stupid grazing animals.  We are not a stiff breeze, a fagical bird, or an unspeakable sexual act done with a crop.  We are Wildcats. 

This helmet is more than a helmet.  It is the bumpy noggin of a Pachycephalosaurus that will bonk you into next week.  The facemask has blood dripping from the fangs.  Even our kickers’ facemasks have blood dripping from them.  Yet we aren’t even forced to leave the field of play to wipe it off, because the blood of our victims is always there. 

These gloves are more than gloves.  They have retractable claws and a reservoir of stick-um so advanced that even Lamark Brown can make a one-handed catch without bobbling the ball.  Their booger resistant surface renders them useless to players and coaches of the unmentionable schools east on I-70.  They can only be put on when flashing the Lynch-Mob sign.  Sho-nuff. 

This codpiece is more than a codpiece.  It is a titanium-alloy scrotal-sanctuary that can withstand up to three of SteveDave’s nut-smashing punches without suffering significant structural damage.  The D-ring that supports it is so light that it takes five seconds to fall to earth from belt height.  Rest assured that your EMAWrection will be fully protected, to ensure the EMAW genes will be passed into future generations.  Your ballz will age with wisdom and glory.
   
This uniform is more than a uniform.  It says we mean business.  Like a fireman, or somebody’s dad.  It says listen up biatches -- we are Wildcats. 

All of us – every damn one.

EMAW!!!

No, I melded together a couple different talking points above.  Was lazy on my part.

I'll break it out.  I disagree with the argument that uniforms help/hurt recruiting enough to matter.  And I am offended for some reason by white guys asserting that African-American athletes (specifically) make their college choice based on how they will be stylin' on the football field.  (Not that people don't choose colleges for stupid reasons.  I've met several girls who attended ku because the campus was "pretty.")

EDIT: Anyway, Fledermaus just made the best post I've ever seen on a uniform thread, so that redeems it for me.

From what I can find, it looks like Texas, Ohio State, and Florida State are getting these.

Virginia Tech - "Good Guys Wear White"
tcu - "Never Back Down"
Ohio State - "Earned"
Florida State - "Fear the Spear"
Oklahoma - "Stake Our Claim"
Florida - "Finish the Mission"
Texas - "It Only Takes Eleven" (making fun of the 12th man?)
LSU - "Cochon de Lait"
Missouri- "Beast Mode"
Miami - "The U Knows"


LOL why does LSU want their uniforms to translate literally "guinea pig of milk" or "pig of milk".

Cochon de Lait is a cajun pig roast. They are playing Arkansas that weekend.

(warning:  going into pure seriousness here)

It's all about marketing. 

Right now, these uniforms are being discussed on every college football message board in existence.  Every year, Oregon's new wacky uniforms are discussed at length on message board.

Do you not see value in being on that website next to tOSU, LSU, Texas, etc.?  Is there no value in being the topic of conversation of every college football fan in the world? 

It is very difficult to measure the exact effect of advertising and marketing to recruiting, but I don't see how anything (other than coaches and on-field success) could be better for the KSU brand than being a flagship Nike school and being discussed all the time.  Because of our history and location, I don't see why we wouldn't want to scramble for even the slightest advantage we can get.  Just the possibility of landing a single 4-star recruit makes it worth dumping a silly 20 year old "tradition" that only exists because we think that the way a certain 70 year old does things is the only way you can possibly do things at KSU.

Ah, what the hell:

Quote
This t-shirt says more than "EMAW".  It says we're the angriest fanbase in America, and you just got us really angried up.

It says, do you feel like getting your ass kicked?  Because I'll meet you at the porta-pottie between the east grass lot and paved lot with a KATPAK special of nacho-cheese flavored jar of whoop ass.

Have you been to space?  We have, Catlab style.

It's about hatin' Huggs, Old Ballz, and weird gay christian basketball coaches.

It says Wildcats are the fiercest feline known to man.

It says that, yeah, our pregame music might have some homoerotic undertones, but that doesn't mean we can't beat your ass with a fluffy golf head cover and a Hugginista t-shirt.

It says Doom.

It says Freemaw is one of us.  (:love:)

K-S-U Wildcats, might sound simple, but it's loud.  And angry.

On a scale of 1-10, the impact uniforms have on recruiting is probably like a factor of 0.7. Winning and putting players in the league is probably like 9.8. Tradition and coaching are probably also very high on recruiting impact. Because in terms of marketing, what your uniforms look like(unless they are so hideous you can't concentrate when looking at them) pale in comparison to the exposure that comes with success.

For example, if you have the most badass looking uniforms and completely suck, you won't get any good recruits except one here and there who have zero worth ethic because they were most concerned with how they will look on the field. If you kick everyone's ass week in a week out and send players to the league and your uniforms are light brown and yellow you will probably do pretty damn well on the recruiting trail and everyone will be forced to talk about your program daily on all media outlets and all of your games will be on TV. People are overrating what uniforms do for recruiting.

And for everyone saying the old uniforms are outdated, they are the same franking design as the Dallas Cowboys so you can't tell me people think the Cowboy's uniforms are ugly and outdated when they probably sell more Jerseys than any other team in the NFL.

The uniforms posted in this thread like tcu's and Ohio State's look like trash worn by a loser program trying to separate themselves from programs they don't think they can compete with in any other way. I don't want to be that program. Oregon is the only exception because they are Nike's University.

I don't mind accessories like the gloves posted above but when you start putting stripes/patches/camo and sh1t all over the place with five different off colors it just looks like second rate Arena league trash. I'd have no problems with alternate white uniforms/helmets with purple/silver trim but just keep it clean. Less is more, less is timeless, less wins.

No one is saying that uniforms are more important than success.  It's just that we have no tradition, and we have no success in the last 6 years (other than Freemaw's comeback win over Green Bay, of course).

I think that the closer you get to the actual age of people playing the game the more you realize how important uniforms are (on average).  I would also say (on average and with there being elite outliers) that the further you get from the age of people currently playing the more you dream about uniforms from when you were closer to that age.

I know people aren't saying that, I was trying to point out how minuscule their impact in the grand scheme of things.

KSU has very little tradition but that doesn't mean you can't continue to try and build it. Snyder's first tenure laid a great foundation to build one so why destroy it by blowing up the uniforms and logo? What happens if you do and fail miserably? You just destroy the little tradition that has been built since the 1990's and you're back to searching for an identity with zero tradition.

In an extreme case like trying to bury three straight winless seasons and the nationally recognized label of Futility U, it's probably a good time to change your image. But GMAFB, KSU has experienced six 11-win seasons, multiple north titles and a Big 12 Championship all within the last decade. There's no reason to separate your image from the most successful run in program history.

Remember when uk changed their basketball jerseys with the circus-clown lettering (worn in '88 season) to the ones with Trajan (worn in '07 season)? They also changed their football jerseys that year. Things seemed to go pretty well for them.  :shy:

When the "most successful run in program history" is no longer on anyone's mind (and is really laughable to any program w/ real tradition), it's a perfect reason.  Especially for a special edition thingy like these combat things.

Ask a recruit about the '98 season. Said recruit was 7 years old at the time.

Yeah, the things current HS kids "remember" about K-State football (and those, mainly being kids from KS/Big 12 region) are Ron Prince and Josh Freeman.  Maybe a few remember Jordy Nelson.  That's about it.  Of course, now they probably see the old coach has them competing again, just like he did "a long time ago".

Indeed.  They probably have never heard of Tupac, Biggie, or Bill Clinton and probably didn't know Jim Carrey was on In Living Color.  They must have grown up in glass bubbles where Led Zeppelin and The Beatles were totally unknown and they don't have any of those old-fashioned DVD players otherwise they could pop in the DoD DVD and enlighten themselves to all things EMAW.

Too bad for us.   :redface:

On a scale of 1-10, the impact uniforms have on recruiting is probably like a factor of 0.7. Winning and putting players in the league is probably like 9.8. Tradition and coaching are probably also very high on recruiting impact. Because in terms of marketing, what your uniforms look like(unless they are so hideous you can't concentrate when looking at them) pale in comparison to the exposure that comes with success.

For example, if you have the most badass looking uniforms and completely suck, you won't get any good recruits except one here and there who have zero worth ethic because they were most concerned with how they will look on the field. If you kick everyone's ass week in a week out and send players to the league and your uniforms are light brown and yellow you will probably do pretty damn well on the recruiting trail and everyone will be forced to talk about your program daily on all media outlets and all of your games will be on TV. People are overrating what uniforms do for recruiting.

And for everyone saying the old uniforms are outdated, they are the same franking design as the Dallas Cowboys so you can't tell me people think the Cowboy's uniforms are ugly and outdated when they probably sell more Jerseys than any other team in the NFL.

The uniforms posted in this thread like tcu's and Ohio State's look like trash worn by a loser program trying to separate themselves from programs they don't think they can compete with in any other way. I don't want to be that program. Oregon is the only exception because they are Nike's University.

I don't mind accessories like the gloves posted above but when you start putting stripes/patches/camo and sh1t all over the place with five different off colors it just looks like second rate Arena league trash. I'd have no problems with alternate white uniforms/helmets with purple/silver trim but just keep it clean. Less is more, less is timeless, less wins.

 Two Cents

 :powertard:

Dallas Cowboys unis suck and have sucked since around 96. My Dad loves them though; I should ask him what he thinks about our old ones.... i bet he thinks they're really cool.

I like our new uni's the old ones were good in their time but the new are an improvement.  I am with dax though, I think we should go back to the shimmer pants.  

Oh and of course do something like white helmets and pants.  Would be redic. elite.  No changes to the overall scheme but just white instead of gray.  

Also, NFL style socks.

Something like this.....

I dont really like the purp helmets too much, but the purple pants are a nice touch if they keep the stripes.  We would also have our regular duds but have the alternate colors as an option.  I mean you could do alot of different combos.  

These would look awesome.  On Tecmo Bowl. :yuck:

^^^^^WTF is this faggot crap?  Those uniforms look like the ones little kids wear for Halloween before they're old enough to play like 4th grade football.  Not only would those uniforms not get us any recruits or chicks, it would get us laughed off of the freaking field.  We come out wearing those atrocities and the damn Horned Frog helmets will actually spit blood on us.

After laughing myself into a case of prairie-doggery, I've had time to think about this color scheme. It's growing on me and I think the matte/gloss dark gray helmets would be extremely elite.

I think you just made up 3 of those names, cause no one outside of Ft. Worth has ever heard of them.  And claiming 2 WWI era championships is just about as pathetic as it comes.  Seriously, you are one sad, sad little man.
