Every silly frat boy in town has the newest Marlins hat. It's so awful.
I love these alternates the Rangers wore in the 80s.

Those are sweet. I do like purple, but I'm not big on the all purple look. Purple on White is nice and the reverse is nice, but all purple is a bit much for me. I really like this combo for them:BigRedLedbetter wrote:darth_vedder wrote:Oh man, I love purple.

Indeed. I love the decals on the back. I wish the Huskers did something like that.

The colors don't match at all, it's like they took half of two completely different uniforms and have sewn them together.

I know it's the state flag, but it's a terrible look!
I do think with better execution there's an idea there worth pursuing, but I think they botched it pretty badly on that one. The pattern on the shoulder shouldn't be the same as the pattern on the corresponding side of the helmet. They should be flipped, like the flag. Or the helmet should just be one solid color. And it looks better on a black jersey, which they later did.

Thought this could just go here...

Basically, it's just going over how strict the NFL uniform policy is.
The thing I hate most is the helmet rule, where players have to wear the same helmet all season (something like that). Therefore, all the throwback helmets are against the rules. So as long as this rule is in place, we wont see these beauties:

I agree. Amazing that the league is too cheap to just "certify" a different set of helmets.darth_vedder wrote:The thing I hate most is the helmet rule, where players have to wear the same helmet all season (something like that).

These are pretty bad. Certainly better than the abominations they wore last year though. I hated the years Nebraska wore white on white too.BigRedLedbetter wrote:I LOOOOVED these that we wore for the Wisconsin game in 2012!

I happen to like that look. It is contemporary, but not complicated. Not my favorite combination of Mizzou's uniforms but still good.

The ones you wore in the Corby Jones era were good.
