OT: Chris Petersen pranks UW's football team w/ Uniformz
Because it is a well known fact that the MGoBoard cannot get enough of OMG Uniformz, I present to you Chris Petersen pulling off a spectacular April Fools joke on his players.

I must say, those uniforms are a special kind of awful.
If someone would embed the video below, I would appreciate it. I don't trust myself to do it correctly.
/s
Those are seriously ugly though.
I kinda expected them to be more obviously out there. I mean, yeah, excessive Ws and everything, but the uniforms themselves and the colors are pretty tame.
Purple turf next.
It looks like a few players were thinking that it could not possibly be real, but the stunned silence of many others was pretty amusing. I will say this - if there is a better way to make "Dawgs" become immediately apparent, you might have a difficult time finding it. When the players dropped the coats, yeah, the initial reaction was, "Good god...". Well done, Chris Petersen.
We should note that this took place at 7:15 in the morning. Stunned silence at that hour from college students is not that unusual.
In this day and age they are not so diff than the original that you'd actually think "can't be".
of feasibly nike could do some terrible shit like that and complete terrible shit.
the cheek writing and junk W were winners. also, nice vignette about the homeless dog on campus
The scary thing is that they don't look like that much of a prank nowadays. UConn's actual unis don't look that much different.
You have to go a lot further out there to come up with something truly shocking. There are some actual unis out there on teams that look like they could be April Fools jokes . . . but they're serious.
"Boston College University"?
Perhaps Sparty should imitate.
"Little Brother" is, of course, a double entendre.
"Found a homeless dog walking through the campus" lol
Just looking at the players faces and all them were like WTF.
I never knew Washington referred to themselves as the Dawgs.
It seems like every other team refers to themselves as the "Dawgs" lately. Hell, even the Michigan State Spartans have started referring to themselves as "Dawgs" for some reason. At least UW are the Huskies, and therefore a type of dog.
...actually it makes sense. Their mascot is a husky and Washington begins with a "W" so even the funky spelling of "dawgs" works.
Super Dawg
Beat up by pussies.
Jokes on you. They were revealed six months LATE.
It is April 1st everyday in College Park, Maryland
Don't show this to Oregon or Baylor.
I think it would be funny for a team to prank the freshmen at a spring game by having the whole team dress in ridiculous UNIFORMZ but then somehow concoct a warmup reason for the freshman to run out onto the field first.
Then the upperclassman can take their jerseys off and walk onto the field with smartphones to take pictures of the punkd freshman.
That a coach actually did something in the same spirit is just hilarious.
If Michigan did that though, I'm afraid the board would implode.
(**ducks**)
And the best part about the bumblebee stripes is that they blended into an all maize (Nike Yellow?) appearance in the long angle camera shots. At least on my TV, I may have been watching on a non-HDTV channel*. The second best thing to not having the bumblebee stripes is not being able to notice them.
*I never noticed a significant difference between non-HDTV channels and their HDTV counterparts until the NCAA basketball games. The scores in the boxes were hard to make out on if I viewed the non-HDTV channel, but were clear on my 1060? HDTV on an HDTV cable channel.
...all they had to do was blue strips OR maize stripes with the regular maize pants.
Those Washington unis just gave him a creative spark
Shit.
DB is going to make alternate jerseys with some saying Go and others saying Blue...on the butt now.
