Full Uniformz For Penn State Released
At 8:15 on a Friday, so unless they're trying to bury their publicity stunt—not likely—they were blindsided by the catalogs for like the third straight time and released them early because the cat was already out of the bag. It's 2014, guys: the internet is fast.
The cat:
Goofy numbers were already known, and then the monochrome blue. They're running out of options before they start tossing around all yellow, aren't they?
Why do they keep doing things the fanbase hates. We aren't Oregon or MSU. The Yankees don't wear clowniforms. The Red Sox don't wear clowniforms. PSU doesn't wear clowniforms. USC doesn't wear clowniforms.

players, the people who have to wear them, have their say.

I am 28, not intoxicated, and I really like them. I think you are right and we found the cutoff.
this one was fairly mild and it's only for one game. Which is nice.

Uniformz in general have a Mustang II feel to me. Also, stay off my lawn!

I'm 25 years old and a Michigan alumn. I care about Bo Schembechler, who I care about less than Fritz Chrisler, who I care about less that Fielding H. Yost. I care about The Big House. I care about the Marching Band. I care about "the winged helmet". I care about the maize and blue. I care about winning, but I care even more about what Michigan Football is supposed to represent - beyond the sport - beyond the entertainment of it.
These jerseys have absolutely no impact on all these things that I care about. The players clearly like them. It makes the game they are about to play in, the importance of it, seem even more special for them.
Who are you to criticize? Really ask yourself that.

I'm 31 and I hate it. Well, to be fair, I hate those damn shutter shade looking numbers! If it was just the normal home jersey with blue pants, I'd probably love them. I'm kinda on the fence with the shoes. Anyway, my father, who's 30+ years older than myself, loves them. I don't think you're going to get a sure fire answer to what age groups like them vs which ones don't. Those numbers though...smh

Tell me they don't like it. And to the rest of you, stop upvoting ignorance.

Vocal minority seems to be what this place has become. Nothing beats Brian and mgoblog when it comes to X's and O's but when it comes to stuff like this... they are way off base.

Because they aren't doing it for the fanbase. They're doing it for the 15-16 year old recruits out there that dig the idea of schools changing it up with new uni's. Personally I think the all blue slacks look badass, just hate the numbers against that shit 1980's boy band background, but perhaps they'll look sweet against the grass and under the lights.

wow, okay, so ummmmm ... that escalated quickly.
because before I even scrolled down I knew that this gif would be posted.

After UTL3, the shoes can be donated to a bowling alley for years of use.

Adidas has to go PLEASE. All their stuff is clownish. A return to Nike would be very welcome.
I don't get it. But, then again, since I'm not a high school kid, I'm not the target demographic anymore.
Dave Brandon and Adidas invent the future, and I guess it looks like Bizarro Michigan Man standing in the Red Room from Twin Peaks.
Would that make Dave Brandon Bob?
FIre walk with me.
Where's Annie??? Where's Annie??? Has anyone picked up the Twin Peaks Blu Ray. It's expensive, but awesome.
If you beat the bushes enough between Amazon, BN, and other sellers, it can be had for under a hundred. Still holding off for an inevitable Thanksgiving-ish flash sale or something, but it's hard. Looks freaking amazing.

Can you imagine a show that weird in today's world with Twitter, reddit, etc? People would flip out.
Back on topic: these uniformz don't make me sing a pretty song. At least they're not the worst we've ever done, so that is something.
isnt a pretty a song as this...
really like the blue on blue

I consider myself pretty easy going with alt uniforms...but for fuck's sake, this is taking it too damn far for the home uni. I don't mind it nearly as much as messing with the away unis as they've been changed often throughout history. And the first UTL was a semi-throwback. But this? Goddmanit I may have reached my breaking point with whoever is making the football team look like a clown show. And combined with the losing? Just makes us look like fucking Maryland.
Excellent. I've been thinking about how I'm thrilled with everything about our football program these days except for the home uniforms. That's the one thing that just badly needed to be fixed.
[Confession: I don't completely hate the look. I mostly hate that we're finding excuses not to wear the best uniform in American sports.]
