    Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't they only wearing those for one game this year?

    I believe you are correct. They will wear them against Georgia and that's it.

    Because they're the Pro Combat uni's. Only reason they're getting released now is because they're wearing them so early in the season.

    If OSU was wearing theirs 1st week they'd be released now too.

    I wouldn't be surprised if those gloves get worn all year though, they're awesome!

    The gloves will get worn all year, and the jerseys are going to be worn in at least one game this year. Each team can choose to wear their pro combat uniforms more than once if they want, they just can't wear them before their designated debut game.

    Last year Nike had a big press conference and debuted all of the pro combat uniforms at the same time. Kind of surprised they aren't doing the same thing this year.

    Ohio State and teams who wear them later in the season probably muck that up a little bit. I'd say that the guaranteed pieces of crap that Nike is producing for us aren't even close to be done yet.

    I just hope that they don't hide behind the whole "we're honoring a former team" approach this year. That's what really irks me. Nike never produces anything that even comes close to looking like what they used to wear. They have to put that pretentious Nike-look on everything they do. Just tell us it is a cash grab.

    10-15 years from now we'll wonder what on earth the Nike people were smoking when they designed those uniforms. The Pro Combat stuff always reminds me of this phase that baseball went through:

    I think that's a great comparison and I agree.

    Those Boise and Oregon uniforms are sick. Really love the Boise helmets and gloves.

    Initially I caught "fire" for not liking them. I didn't see many others getting the "why for" for not liking them.

    It's all good though. It was nothing major. Just differences of opinions on the hideous UA garbage -- might as well get used to seeing it, it'll probably never go away.

    Whoever designed Georgia Tech's needs to go back to school. You can't read their numbers on tv.

    Maryland has 30 uniform combinations. I say make it 29 and burn the ones they are wearing tonight. I thought Boise State's uniform were nice.
  • Little Danny
    These Maryland uniforms are gross. Looks like something from the movie "Any Given Sunday". I think I see "Steamin'" Willie Beaman throwing up in the huddle.
