I think that Kiffin will eventually want to tweak the uniform slightly, just to update it for the new era. It would likely be simple, small changes so I think something like this would really stand a chance of being considered by the AD.

Why does giving the jersey white armpits suddenly mean it's "stepped into the 21st century"?

No offense, but this sort of design just looks needlessly busier to me. Nobody's going to notice the Power-T part of it unless the players happen to pose in a stock-photo sort of way. In a game, it's just going to look like we added some white vents under the arms to let the stink out.

I like those jerseys. What about a road version?

The stripes definitely should be put back on the pants. Why hasn't adidas ever put their trademarked "three stripes" on our pants or jerseys? PF is my guess. I think it would look really good, especially if it was a black pant/three white stripes with home or road jersey on Halloween weekend v. usce!!
Thoughts?

I don't think any of those comes close to what we have now! We have the best, most unique uniform in the country; just use the orange pants, like last year's UCLA game on the road. And please! no dad-blasted black ever on out uniforms. Dad gum it our colars are orange and white !!!!!

Why so shy? I don't like it. What's the big deal?

I realize that graphic designers are genetically incapable of being satisfied with something until they "update" it, but I just don't see why you'd want to try to design a uniform around the coincidence that the letter T is shaped like the human torso. If the Power T thing is subtle, then nobody notices it and it just looks like you have these disembodied white armpit flaps. If you thin the T down to the point where it actually looks like a T, as in the one on the far right in post #7 above, then your football team looks like the Sesame Street dancers. No thanks.

For those who don't know, having the T cut off below the numbers would not be allowed by the NCAA. It would be too much white on a home jersey.

Where is the jurisdiction laid out by the NCAA that says white can only be a certain percentage of your home uniforms?

I'm not too sure where it is, but we've been called out before on having too much white when we had a throwback. Unless you're LSU and your whole home is white, you can't have much extra white on your home jersey.

You're thinking of when we wore 1970's throwback away unis at home vs UCLA a few years back. We had a one time waver to wear them; the NCAA said the "Titan's style" orange shoulders made the unis have too much orange and were not appropriate for road whites.

I think the new policy of allowing tradional rivalries to wear home and home jerseys (like USC did this past year with UCLA), is a plus, and therefore these jersey's would be worn most often

That's not a policy, that's Rick Neuheisel and Pete Carroll agreeing to both losing a timeout in order to wear those jerseys. It was in violation of policy, but Neuheisel agreed to take a timeout at the beginning of the game to not allow an "unfair advantage" of having 1 extra TO

No. It wasn't UCLA. It was UNLV.

And I got the colors opposite, but it still rings true. If you can't have too much color on whites, you can't have too much white on colors.

That's great. I knew people had wanted it for years, and I just haven't heard that a final word was spoken.

On topic, however, I think this is a little too gimmicky. It reminds me 100% of Kentucky baskeball 1 year ago (changing their uni to include a subtle checkerboard).

I thought you were going to use the UK denim uni's for comparison and that would be a bit harsh
