Putrid Uniforms

[rupert]

At least the team that was on the field with Auburn last night was not worrying Razorback uniforms...

[rupert]

"worrying"  should be "wearing" in prior post

[HighcountryHog]

Matches the team.

[The Kig]

I like them... Of all the things that we can be complaining about, uni color is way down the list.

True...

[SchrodingersHog]

White pants with red stripe, white jerseys with red numerals, red jerseys with white numerals, red helmets.  Arkansas tradition.

If players and recruits don't like the look, let them go somewhere else.  If they need the "look good, play good" approach, they don't belong here.  If they can't give 100% in the traditional uniforms, they are prima donnas.  Feeding their egos will not foster pride in their team or school. 

We are losing the soul of this program, bit by bit, and we wonder why the team doesn't show mental toughness. 

[Snouty]

I would love to see the anthracite uniforms disappear forever.  Anthracite is not a Razorback color. 
Alabama does quite well wearing basic red jerseys at home.  Why can't Arkansas?

Same goes for the Jerry Jones Memorial uniforms the Hogs wore for the A&M game this year.  Silver is not a Razorback color.
They looked more like Ohio State uniforms than Arkansas uniforms.

Couldn't agree more.

[Porkbutt Gary]

Sick of uniform games. If JL is really about "branding" how the hell was this crap approved?  Identity matters! Anthracite Ain't Arkansas !

[pigz]

Fire the uniforms!!

[(notOM)Rebel123]

How many complained after Liberty Bowl vs K-State or last year's upset of Florida?
It's the least of our problems, boys.

[jlhogfan]

Yeah!  They wear traditional uniforms, they win those games. Simple

This...and one more thing the Hog on the helmet needs a red outline.

[GoHogs1091]

To me, the anthracite garbage is basically a slap to the face of the members of the 1964 NC Team.

The 1964 Team wore real Razorback uniforms.  They also played high-quality fundamentally sound football.

The current Razorback football program is just a mirage of the past real Razorback football program.  The current incompetence (both UofA Athletic Administration and football coaching incompetence) has turned the Razorback football program into a national embarrassment. 

[Bad_Intentions]

I HATE all our uniforms for the most part. The old school cream-colored home baseball uni is pimp. Other than that, I HATE them all. I truly do.

The football ... ugh. Last night I wanted to puke. All of the football uniforms are pretty much hideous - don't even get me started on the "new" hog. It looks terrible. WTH is wrong w/ the old one?

Anthracite is a friggin joke. Do away with it now and forever.

Why not go back to the unis during the McFadden era? Those looked good. Classic, clean Razorbacks. You want to add some flare? I actually love the white helmet. Wear all white on the road sometimes. That looks really good IMO. Mix and match. But get rid of the new damn hog, the anthracite, and the new jerseys all together.

Basketball, again, back to the classic Razorback look.

Baseball ... come one. We're a perennial power. There's so much you can do w/ a baseball uniform. Let's keep the creams, and start from scratch on the rest.

The soul of this program has not been much for most of our lives and uniforms play a miniscule part of it.

[leroyhawg]

Don't think uniforms win or lose games, Highly overpaid complacent AD's and Coaches forget what they're overpaid for! They are both set for life if they never win another game.

I say find an Arkansas High school coach pay him 500,000 a year until he proves he's hungry!

[kodiakisland]

I think the anthracite unis are ugly.  I wouldn't mind seeing the white helmet a couple times a year though.

Huh?  What relevance does a team from 60 odd years ago have to wearing different unis?  If we wore the the same gear they wore back then, we would have players injured every week.  Dumb post.

[Torqued pork]

If the alternate unis were supposed to inspire our players and attract better recruits then God help us.

[EastArkHog 47]

Bielema should have to wear anthracite including face paint for his last five games, it looks about like he coaches, "real **"

[Cure]

The players like the uniforms, get over it.

[hogcard1964]

Yea, those were the worst we've ever sported.

It's your opinion and you're entitled to it, but this post is dumb as hell

[Boss Hog in the Arkansas]

When your team looks bad it makes everything worse. Jerseys, concessions, etc.

[hogsolutely]

I am absolutely not a fan of the Uniforms worn Saturday night, but if we decide to move forward with them the hog on the Helmet needs to be white.  Even with ultra HD TV the hog on the Helmet blended in way to much.  But, not that it matters much when you get your butts handed to ya!!!

[Redhogs]

This..they are butt ugly. Keep the old school unis with the chrome red helmets and I'm in.

I LOVE them!  the helmets were even cool.  we just needed to ROCK them and we didn't

I don't agree.  Kids and even fans love the change up a bit.

i also like the mirrored helmet from the bowl game a couple of years back.

[HoggieStyle]

Anybody that's worried about uniforms at this point in this season...good grief.....

[Hoggish1]

I bet you like the helmet the best.

[Ex-Trumpet]

In hindsight, that helmet with no visible hog was brilliant!

This. 

Can anyone imagine a recruit saying to Saban, "I'll come to your program if the uniform is jazzed up a bit..."?             Crickets

Yeah.  Just watched the 2014 game again with Bama and there were two teams out there with real uniforms.  Looked excellent.

But let's jazz it up a bit 'cause recruits think it's cool...  Any coach that bends to what "recruits want" has no control or judgement about players or football

Hit 'em again, hit 'em again, harder, harder!

Once again:  The kids don't pay for tickets to the stadium to see the Hogs play.

[OneTuskOverTheLine™]

KILL PUMBA HOG.!!!!!!!!!!

[hobhog]

I don't agree.  Kids and even fans love the change up a bit.

If everybody likes traditional, and only half the people like weird ones, why do it? Why piss off half your fan base?

[Hoggish1]

Earth to Kig: Your reading comprehension leaves much to be desired.  Where did you get that this conversation was about gear?

When the program honored the 1964 team for the 2014 Bama game they did not wear the same gear.  Wake up.

[Hoggish1]

The players like the uniforms, get over it.

The players at Bama were secretly polled and all didn't like the uniforms.  But they wear them anyhow because they were told to.

See how easy that was?

This question could get political!!

[Hoggish1]

I hated them.  Even if we had blown Auburn out I would not have enjoyed that the Hog was invisible.

[bkjbearcat]

I liked the uniforms. I hated the helmet. The invisible hog looked bad to me. Why not have a red or white hog?

[tolerati]

Dump the anthracite ...

Smart guy, that Nick Saban.

Traditional uniforms.  Not bowing to the whims of fans or players.  Sounds so old school and inflexible, doesn't it?

Here's the problem.  It doesn't matter whether it's a sports team or any other group of people.  When you abandon tradition, you don't have anything to fall back on in hard times.  You don't have anything to fight for.  Your group, your team, your country, etc., becomes rudderless and flounders.  Rudderless and floundering.  Pretty much sums up this football program. 

I've heard Saban described as a master psychologist.  He know that intangibles like tradition mean as much as Jimmy Joes and X's and O's.
