They finally get the helmets/uniforms right…

I may be in the minority but I like the racing stripe a lot (it's on the white helmet sometimes). Bringing back the Block C and white facemask (for some games at least) is definitely the way to go IMO.

Love it!

Yep. But we don’t ant to be what we’ve become. One of those schools wh change helmets more than most people change their socks. Last year we had like 6 different helmets. Pick one and just wear it 11 times. Then do 1 throwback with the 1968ish two color helmet with the football C.

Most teams don't do that anymore - they have multiple helmets they wear every season.

What happened to the grey alternates from a few years ago? Those were great

If we're going to make it a throwback, can we wear our Aeropostale unis? I don't even care what they look like, I still laugh that we had uniforms made by Aeropostale and were a D1 program (even if it was our first year or two).

I'd love to see the logo they end all of their video clips with, the outline of the state with the logo in the middle, be put on a helmet. It's one of my favorite logos they've put together lately. I'd love to see what it'd look like on a helmet.

The block C is so clean with the fonts and letters on the uniform.

Here is a uniform design I’ve never seen that incorporates the Husky and our UConn brand… the red highlights remind me of Bball.
“Connecticut” or “UConn” across the front could look good too.

There are so many great designers out there that understand what UConn is and how it should look. I think with football we have lots of opportunities to use our existing brand and tie it into the brand that everyone recognizes as nationally.

The pants remind me of the basketball shorts which is a great signature look

Wish we had a better history to fall back on. We were 3-6 in 1965. There was a brief period in the late 80's when decent but had the UConn script. A throw back with UMass doing the same would probably work best but not home this year?

I was kind of joking about the 65 one. I saw it referred to somewhere as one of the most unique helmets in football history. Then I found a picture on some helmet history site.

Im just not a fan of wearing a different uniform for every game. Simple as that. I think you have your uniform. It should identify your program. And if you look at the historic programs, that’s what they do. You don’t see USC coming out in Black shirts white pants and helmets with USC on them. The are cardinal, pants are gold and the helmets have the Trojan warrior.

Michigan doesn’t show up in grey uniforms with an M on the helmet. It’s maise and blue and the wings. We should follow the model of successful programs. My choice would be blue shirt, white pants, blue helmet with Block C at home. White shirt, white pants, blue helmet with Block C on the road. You want to wear blue pants every now and again, especially on the road ( though thankfully that trend seems to have gone out of style mostly) have at it. I for one am also thankful the greys seem To have joined the ConFliCT trophy in the dustbin of history.

The cat is already out of the bag on keeping a consistent helmet/uniform design like Michigan and USC, we have literally changed it countless times already. We have no constant historical helmet, so may as well have fun with it and get recruits excited about wearing cool stuff. When Oregon started doing the uniform thing in the late 90s early 2000s, the exact same argument was made that USC doesn't do it, but Oregon embracing the uniforms turned them from a regional player into a national player recruiting wise and is one of the main things credited to their rise as a program.
