Uniform "Update"

[KryHavok]

That chrome lid that @B1GEast put up is super slick! The more I see it, the more I like it as it shows flash without being trash.

I asked ChatGPT to give me a rendering of the uniform using a concept helmet that was previously shown a few years back using the previous husky logo. I asked for block C off the shoulder, and this is what came back:

The block C rendering is off, I previously had the AI use our standard block C but what it rendered made me gag.

On a somewhat unrelated tangent, I never realized how Creighton's block C looks like a running version of ours...kinda like Hyundai using Honda's H and then thinking italicizing would make it sooo unique.

Maybe a white stripe on the pants. Very nice uniform

I'm not a fan of single color uniforms.

White/Blue or Blue/White. Pants should have piping consisting of the jersey color and red. The Jersey should have stripes on sleaves consisting of the pant color and red. The block number style stays as is.

I can get on board with the all-the-time blue helmet and to solve the wolve head vs. Block C debate, might I suggest numbers on the side of the helmet? I could also get on board with the Mid/late 90s style helmet design (Red "U," White "Conn" or White block letter UCONN outlined in Red).

How very Penn State. Let's at least move into this century. Come on, it's common place for teams to have flashy alternate uni's.

 

[TouchdownHusky]

agreed, white pants allll the way.

Worst current uniform (opinion)
Every time UConn wears the blue/blue/blue combo,with the husky head helmet, i want to throw my morning cup of coffee at the television

(i'm on the west coast so it's often still breakfast time at kickoff lol)

Stop with the old school thinking. These uni's would be nice. All blue.

I like your suggestion of a stripe on the pants. Some minor embellishments added. It's a neat alternate home uniform.

Except not.

Penn State has only white helmets and no red accents anywhere. They have piping, a simple sleeve strip, and helmet numbers only on their alternates, which otherwise look exactly like their Blue Top uniform. Their numbers are not the same style either. Theirs are simple block characters. There is no blue and white (or red) outline.

Finally, I was not proposing an alternate. My proposal was for the week in/week out uniform. Alternates are meh.

I love UConn football. I've had tickets for going on 24 years, and it's a great place to meet up with longtime friends who I see so seldom, but it might be time to recognize exactly what UConn football is as an Independent in the NIL age. UConn is a stepping stone for HS recruits, and FR & SO portal players. It's a place where upperclassmen, who would otherwise be buried on a P4 roster, to get out from under, maximize their playing time, and hopefully catch the eye of an NFL scout.

Until the status of UConn's conference affiliation changes, it's AAA baseball. It's a quality product and enjoyable enough around which to plan a full Autumn day with a bunch of friends, but for whom it counts, it's generally a means to the players' end. The uniform is not going to change that.

We have had some red in the unis off and on since 1971.

Let’s go back to leather helmets

The AI captured the AAC logo

Oh… not my day today. So Matte blue helmets?

 

[Jetskies]

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

 

[Redding Husky]

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).

 

[Husky92]

Not really a fan of the matte look, but I am a fan of UCONN football so I’ll cheer on the team regardless of the unis…

 

[CL82]

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

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.

 

[RSTuthill]

Just win, guys, and if you do we won't care what the unis look like.

 

[Redding Husky]

Glossy helmets!

Thank you sir. 100%.

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.
