so sry to be that guy but i'm not enamored by them. we like them bc they're a change but from what I see matte has a short life cycle with fans. WVU nation just threw a party because they went back to glossy helmets. Minnesota Vikings fans want them to go back to glossy. I suspect we'll be asking it too before you know it.

and as long as that dang dog is on the side it's lame... to me at least.
Block C forevaaaa!

Oh I agree. That matte blue with a Block C logo would be amazing

I was in marketing. The block C is classic, simple, and instantly identifiable. The blue jerseys and white pants combination looks professional, like the NFL. Blue jerseys and blue pants are high schoolish (or middle schoolish).

Especially if the Block C was also in matte. I actually think the current helmet would look better with the Blue Wolf also in matte.

One of our alternate uniforms should have yellow pants.

Orange shirts. Apparently the 1926 or 27 wore them.

I hate “alternate” uniforms. My biggest fear is we will show up in red or black some night. We need to establish an identity. Consistent uniforms are part of it. And for heaven’s sake just pick a helmet and stick with it. I prefer white with a blue block C but in any case just pick one. Don’t change the insignia every week or because it is St Crispin’s Day or national pizza day or whatever. National flag blue and white. Minimal red highlights if you must. Same helmet every week.

agreed pretty much.

IMO white and blue block C helmets with a single thick stripe down the middle, are the ONLY play for us as the standard. I'm ok with the dog as a sometimes thing, but the current iteration is just nauseating. idk why, nothing special about it to offend me as much as it does, it just looks LAME.
 
i said it before, i'll say it again:
if UConn ever makes the "qui transtulit sustinet"(QTS) alternate football uniform I've been suggesting, I think those would be an instant HIT marketing wise.

imagine something like the following: The Pitt panthers uniform; blue shirts, yellow pants. Pitt has yellow helmets, but I say we go with blue helmets to match the state flag. somewhere on the uniform just a dash of purple accent and maybe green, to represent the grapevines.
Main helmet decal is the CT State Seal, with a secondary small block C sticker on the rear panel.

IDEA 2 - would be snow white uniforms with a royal blue (not navy) or white helmet with the state flag logo on it, and blue/yellow/purple/green accenting throughout the jersey & pants, tasetfully.

I think that'd be fireeeeeeeeeee
 
Okay, have at it.

This year's uniform tweaks - red Nike swooshes, thick blue collar on the white jerseys.

The translation "He who transplanted sustains" feels so pertinent to the UConn athletic program. I'd have goosebumps if I ever saw these run thru the tunnel

what does the translation mean to you?

May be a way to get more eyes on the team/games for the casuals. Not to the extent Oregon does their uniform swaps, but a week with the state logo above, a week with the white helmet Blue C, a week with blue helmets and old Husky logo or the script UConn logo.
 
I love the ribbon helmets. I hope we continue with that

Looks like they thought more of the blue jersey and blue pants
