I love our set. I do not think the two sets go together well, though.



Washington State is wearing W-R-R -- similar to our uniform from the Kansas game.

That is too much white and red on the field.

I wish they had stayed away from white elements and/or worn some gray.

Last year, the red chromes were a game time surprise, so there is still a chance of some new gear. That being said, the all whites look really good!

I'd be really happy if they come out with this logo on the white helmet!

Yeah; geez that sux. I agree that your combo should be based a bit on who you're playing. Playing another red team is when we should emphasize gold. Washington State should have emphasized grey- although maybe they're thinking that combo is jinxed since their last game.

I do not know how much coordination the two programs do with each other over stuff like this. Some collusion would help with the aesthetics of these games, though.

:)

I was hoping for something like this against our all-white look...

Don't hate that at all- it will NEVER happen tho. We are getting to the point of needing to let go

Never? We've seen the staff sporting apparel with the Orr Cyclone on it in the past. It just takes someone deciding to use it as a secondary logo for the football helmets.

Stylish throwbacks are relatively common so I wouldn't say never.

Final 2018 Uniform Summary for the Archives:

View attachment 61322

Among those combos with the new design, my top 5 ranking:
1. CWC (my usual road choice)
2. WWC
3. WCC
4. All-white
5. All-cardinal

---> All-black is well-done, especially under the lights, and we’re 2-0 in those games, so I can’t complain. I won’t pretend I embrace it.

Least-favorite: BCC, although it looked better than I would’ve expected.
