[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 66243, member: 1191"] I think the issue with uniforms is this: 1. We don't have a unifying tradition. We have changed so much over the years that we can point to any number of styles and call it "traditional." 2. The biggest [S]complainers[/S] critics of the uniforms are all of the older guys who, as you said, are nostalgic for the uniforms they fondly remember. 3. Russell. Nothing against them, but they DON'T have the cachet that Nike, UA or Adidas do. I think the answer, however, is to embrace the Oregon mentality. If we are an Institution that prides ourselves on being modern and cutting edge, (we aren't in the boiler training business anymore), then we should adopt that mentality across the board. Let's be cutting edge. Let's take it to the limit. The reality is that recruits like it. Ultimately, our team will be more successful if the talented recruits are happier than if we merely satisfy the alumni base. (That being said, the alumni base can't be alienated, so have 1-2 throwback uni's a year) Since we seem to be stuck with Russell for a while, I'd pressure them to go wild with the designs. If they successfully outfit GT with sharp, modern designs, it only helps their business as well. [/QUOTE]
