Anybody else up for an alt UCONN uniform?

Just keep the husky off the helmet and you can't go wrong.

I like the idea of all black with blue trim, similar to our all blacks last year.

And I know it may be hard for you guys to accept since you have had more tangible success in football, but I believe to most people RU football is seen as being above UCONN football.
 
Hi all....long time lurker but first time poster and recent alumni (relatively speaking) here!

Need to put in my two cents regarding this topic...a 3rd jersey is a absolute must have now a days. Anyone who thinks that these kids don't care about it either is not with the times. Case in point...look at how crazy these players get when they find out they are going to be wearing black jerseys.

While I don't know if I would go the blackout look for UConn since its been done by everyone at this point I definately wouldn't mind seeing a whiteout look. White helmets with a blue block C I think would look great. White jerseys and white pants with a blue stripe down the side. Someone get Nike on the phone!!

 
Yep, and the things we heard from recruits regarding our new uniforms was enough for me to think the change was worth it.

It's all about the edge you can get in recruiting, and free uniforms from Nike is a cost effective way of doing it.

You know what I want? I want a football team, that doesn't need a fancy uniform to get people interested. Win the games.

That's because you're boring, I want us to win and look good too.
 
And you guys do know the uniforms are FREE right? No cost to the school and it helps in recruiting?

Why the hell not.

The swooshy stripes on the pants along with the piping that never ends are the worst. The classic three stripe on the pants and maybe even on helmet would be nice slight adjustments to an already classic uniform. Throw in that johnathan helmet once or twice a year or flip flop the helmet to white with the navy 3stripe, never ever use Black in any of our uniforms and we'll be playing in the Big 10 in no time.

Kind of silly to do a black uni when your school color is National Flag Blue, the color which as close to being black as is possible without actually being black, IMO. I have no problem with an occasional special uniform though especially if it incorporates the husky dog helmet and is coupled with a white out or blue out game.

We've had a relationship with Nike long before Rutgers did, they designed our uniforms a few years back. If you are recruiting kids based on how your uniforms look, then your program is out of touch.

I don't think anyone besides Oregon does that. It's just something that helps to get you noticed in a recruits eyes, and yes, to them looking 'cool' means something. It won't be the only reason a recruit chooses a place, but in this day and age anything that helps, ya know?

THIS! National flag blue is pretty dark, and if UConn wanted to do a different logo for a game or two, or a different style for a game or two, that's fine with me. But the black jersey is unnecessary...

By the way Dan, I stole this for my avatar during the football season.
Thanks!

Love it. When I stole it from Nike, I didn't reference them, so you are one step better than me!

I have to admit, those unis do look good. Doing it all in Nat. Flag Blue and add the Husky helmet in the same blue, but make the dog chrome, numbers in white and the block C on the hip would get my vote.

I liked the sound of it all. I would even be willing to look at that helmet with the Husky as white instead of chrome, but I think that with the "all dark" uniform, the white helmet might stand out like a sore thumb. And the fact that I am posting so much on this topic means that my wife has forced me to watch way too much Lifetime Network...

wvu board has a great thread. look at all of those. some are great some aren't but its painfully obvious we need to join the club and jump off the bridge with everyone else.

I hate to say it, Dan, but half of them look like crap and the other half that look good are the schools that stayed true to their colors. That's why I'd be in favor of a "national flag blue" version of whatever concept jersey they came up with. It doesn't have to be black to be cool, by the way. Notre Dame, Texas, Alabama, and Oklahoma figured that out a long time ago...
 
-i like baylors spraypaint green helmets. i wish we could do that in blue.
-can we get sick gloves with the husky dog logo on them
-i want the husky dog on our pants like the gator for florida
-3 combos of blue white and black is what i think we need.
-check out the mizzu black helmets. think husky dog aggressive new logo one day? ok thats a stretch

As I said before, white helmet, and now add grey gloves with white block C and grey pants, throw in some national flag blue and white, those would be sweet uni's.

On a side note, jonathan needs a make over, show some fangs or a snarl, the happy face husky just doesn't do it for me.
 
How about we stick with the Block C and current uniforms until they are both recognizable to the general public as being representative of The University of Connecticut?

Do we really need "alternative" uniforms when we're still striving to create traditions in our current ones?
 
people will notice those because they will notice the new or different special ones and say, hmm wonder what the other jerseys they have are.

Love ya, HFD but you're kidding with that, right? Are you sure you didn't go to Rutgers?

It's late, grab your helmet and put away your crayons. Time for bed.
