Since the season is so depressing, I thought I would bring up another uniform thread about my idea for a cool uniform.

I think that it would be cool to wear all black with cardinal numbers lined in gold. The helmet would be cardinal with a gold facemask.

Thoughts?

We need something. White helmets and more ceremonial patches are needed to revitalize our wounded spirits.

I'll just save everyone the time and summarize how this thread will go:

- black uniforms are a fad, we need something traditional to "build our brand"
- but recruits like flashy uniforms, and that's all that really matters
- OK, fine, but why do we have to look like USC?
- well, we wouldn't have to if the 49ers didn't steal our original colors
- that's an urban myth
- bring back Walking Cy
- I actually prefer the tornado logo from the 80s
- we were bad in the 80s, why would you want to bring designs from that era back?
- gold helmets
- 4 pages of discussion over the correct shade of gold to use for the helmets
- picture of the white helmet
- picture of the white helmet with the extra large punching Cy on it
- whirly cy is terrible and never coming back
- joke about bringing back navy blue
- someone takes joke seriously, claims we need to embrace McCarney era
- Big 12 North was soft during McCarney era; McCarney overrated as coach
- 0-4 with matte helmets
- chrome helmets?
- we should be focused on winning instead of uniforms

Black on black unis. Grille dark glass for everyone. No numbers on our backs. That way we will not know who to blame for the missed tackles.

I think we just witnessed the post of the season on CF.

That pretty much (the first two posts above) encapsulated the football season as well as anything will.
