I guess I'm officially old if that is considered cool now-a-days.

[VirginiaHog]

Its on the worst list too though.

[Prestworthy]

Kids these days don't appreciate tradition like we do. "Cool" is flashy, in-your-face, and  over-the-top.  I think Bama, PSU, and others have awesome uniforms because of what they represent.

[KlubhouseKonnected]

I don't like a uniform that has too much going on. Too busy for battle dress if you ask me.

Piggyback off this topic:

Just proves that kids don't go to a school for the flashy unis. Reputation and tradition means more.

re: Maryland "uniforms"---I got dizzy and threw up.

[jkstock04]

This is not surprising. Like someone else alluded to though...Bama still pulls in top classes despite not having flashy uniforms.

However, for a seemingly lesser team the idea of creating a brand could really give an edge they otherwise didn't have..in my opinion.

As soon as I saw Maryland on the list I thought these kids have no taste.

We just played Clemson for the natty. They went with the giant orange popsicle look.

I think I have it figured out.

Spread teams + softball uniforms = cool

I'm not understanding the love these kids, with NFL level talent, are giving spread schools. Even if the uniforms are cool.

Interesting that WR Ricardo Louis of auburn fame apologized to the NFL team that drafted him because he wasn't fully developed at the position. Only ran a few pass patterns and fundamentals were weak. Even though he later tried to qualify what he really meant, the BS meter was fully loaded. NFL scouts are basically saying the same thing about other position players out of the spread. Not well developed in the fundamentals of the game.

No accounting for offensive flash. And we should never underestimate the true value of neon unis mixed in with a few wings, checkerboards and a dash of sparkle just for fun. Like a moth to the flame.

I wish someone would do a study on how many spread players fail in the NFL after being drafted. I think kids and their parents may take the scheme of the college a little more seriously if they realized the NFL has little patience for developing players. They have to learn quickly or they are on the street.

What good is a shot at the NFL if you fail before the season starts. Especially for 5th round or later picks.

Just another window into the "look at me!" generation.

Whatever brings more attention to the individual, rather than the team, current kids are going to go for.

There was a somewhat recent post of an article on here that addressed that very thing. It wasn't just QB's, RB's, WR's and TE's who were apparently ill prepared, it was O-Linemen as well. The primary goal in sending your kid off to college should be getting the degree, but if you think he has any chance at all at going to the NFL, I'm not sure why you would let him pick a team with the spread philosophy unless his offers were limited. The pro style philosophy obviously does a much better job at preparing them for the next level.

I think it is more about youth than generational. The Traditonalists in the 60s thought the baby boomers were going to take this country down. Then we matured and our perspective of what's important changed. I imagine the same will happen for this generation.

Some truth here.  There's an old saying, "Show me a young person who's not liberal, and I'll show you a person with no heart.  Show me an old person who's not conservative, and I'll show you someone with no sense."

The difference between our generation and the current generation is that our coaches said, "Here's the uniform, son."  Today we commission polls and cater to youth.  Two forces drive the current approach - our desire to give our kids the things we never had, and The Almighty Dollar.

Getting drafted isnt a realistic option for about 93% of college football
players so you would hope it isnt a big factor in the college decision process

We could hope that it is one way but it would still be the other.

I don't agree with this. If kids don't appreciate tradition, then why do these top flight programs continue to reload despite bland uniforms? Wouldn't that prove that kids DO appreciate tradition?

That is not the mindset of high school players. They genuinely think they will play in the NFL.

Yes, people do mature, eventually.  But that's not the point.

To this generation, NOTHING happens without a selfie.  Or being part of a photobomb/videobomb.  Their defining characteristic is self-absorption.

My generation it was probably more about seeing what we could get away with -- rebelliousness. 

Our obsession was probably more dangerous, theirs more destructive, to them and the culture.

I'm confused and curious as to why out of allllllll the things to criticize about the modern era, older people always pick "selfies," like they are the undeniable scourge of the Earth, just something terrible that is singlehandedly undoing years of their progress. All it is is a picture...using a camera that's designed to take pictures. I don't do really do them, but I think it's a bit naive to think that other generations wouldn't have behaved similarly in their day if equipped with similar technology. Also a bit of a blanket statement to assume that an entire generation of people is consumed with self-absorption. I thought by now all people would understand that you can't just say things like that and expect to be taken seriously.

Selfies are the signature of the "mememememe" generation.They have been linked to the rise in clinical narcissism, and are a very visible symptom of the spoiled, entitled attitudes we have instilled into an entire generation. 

Selfies are a psychological glimpse at why the world is going to hell in a handbasket.

Can we put social networking in there, somewhere?

I think the majority of selfies are taken with the idea of putting them on Facebook, so social networking is tied into it.  I've got two step-daughters, ages 23 and 21, so they were high school age when selfies with your phones and/or digital cameras became all the rage.  I've endured vacations where literally thousands of selfies were taken - on the beach, at the mall, at restaurants, walking on the sidewalk, etc., etc., etc.  I eventually came to realize that to that generation, having a picture of yourself at a destination is far more important than the destination itself.  In other words, it's more important to take a selfie in front of the Grand Canyon and post it to Facebook than it is to actually enjoy the beauty of the Grand Canyon.

I would agree that the age of social networking is training old and young alike in the art of being anti-social. Kind of ironic that the smartphone isn't translating to the one using it, socially speaking.

You may be right, but we'll never know.  The photos we took as kids and young adults were only taken after consideration of whether the shot was worthy of a photo.  That's because a roll of film cost $4.00-$7.00 and having that roll of photos developed cost roughly the same.  As a result, we self-imposed a limit on how many photos we could take on a vacation, or at a homecoming, or a family reunion, or whatever.  Cost was a huge consideration for most of us.  Now, you can take those thousands of selfies and not think twice about any cost.
