  • I was all for a black or gray alternate, but to replace out home heresy with this is awful! We had one of the nicer uniforms. We just needed an alternate not a redesign. Between this and the intro video, someone is dropping the ball.

  • No white at all.  Just horrid compared to the classic home uniforms.  Please burn them now.  :'(

  • Well, be careful what you wish for. A lot of Herd fans wanted an alternate jersey. This is why I was hoping to stay with our regular jerseys. I still think our natural kelly green and white jerseys are better than any alternate could ever be.

    Holy hell, you are absolutely correct. Terrible uniforms. Terrible intro. Its hard to understand who looks at those uniforms and says "yeah... give me 100 of them" wtf....

    Yu can tell the players feelings on it as well, haha, they hate them too. This just had the opposite effect of what new uniforms should have.

  • Barely any white so the white helmets won't match.

    No stripe on the pants like on our helmets, just a oddly thick line of black.

    The sleeves do not make any sense.

    The numbers look silly and are going to be so hard to see (especially with no names on the back)

    I hope we have whites that look better and an alternate for upcoming games, otherwise... this was just messed up by the AD.

  • Not a fan.  I don't mind the fact that there is black involved somewhere. 

    But our home jerseys were just so sharp before. 

    These numbers don't stand out, the helmets won't match.  Just puzzling.

  • Just thought of something.... are  the white numbers, being turned to black, symbolic of black replacing white as our school primary color????? Oh gosh!!!!

  • I'm usually not one to complain when progressive thinking is at least attempted, but I'm convinced that the only thing that would keep this from being an EPIC FAIL is a black helmet to wear with it. That has to be about as cheap as you can get when changing your uni up.

    Per equipment.

    NO Black helmet

    NO New away jerseys

    NO New white pants(Although we will wear our old white pants with these? That might not look as bad)

    We got one set of new green pants and green jerseys... if that isn't bush league I don't know what is.

    It's going to be like the year we wore new green jerseys at home and old mesh ones on the road.

    Everyone that gets new home jerseys also gets away ones... If you can't get both, don't get them.

    They actually look better in person when you see the entire uniform.

    I'm the one that has been tweeting the HerdEq asking all the questions on twitter. I don't know if I like these, but like the old ones better or I don't like them and am happy we actually did something.

  • The players body language and expressions say it all. Who the heck is involved in these decision making processes? There has been zero positive response from anyone on here or on facebook that i see. Got a bunch of "yes" men i guess.

  • Awful, completely terrible.  As mentioned earlier, be careful what you wish for.  For everyone who begged for new uniforms and for us to leave the traditional ones behind, I hope you are happy.  These are ugly.  Don't want posters and pictures of those hideous things hanging on my walls.

  • Wasn't there a policy that was going to outlaw the "Peapods"?

    If so, these will be reserved for certain occasions.....

    That rule went away or there was something special put in it saying our peaked were fine.   I don't like the uniforms.  I would have much rather had a gray alternate to wear for one game, and I would say the players agree.  We just got new home jerseys and they looked sharp.  

    This is Hamricks first epic fail IMO.  I just walked into fan day, and I'm read to go, especially knowing there isn't a new helmet to match these uniforms.  A flat black Helmet with a Kelly Green M and a green face mask would make them look a lot better, and I think excite the players.

  • I should rephrase, I do like them, just don't think thy match our white helmet at all, and really didn't think our normal home uniform needed replaced.
