Considering we already have alternate jerseys, I guess that theory has already been proven wrong.
You are using a sample size of one to make that conclusion. Stop and think about that for a second.
Well we did get some pretty good jucos for this year, and it's shaping up to likely be a bowl eligible season. So how's that proven wrong?
Not truly an all-gold, since the helmets were the standard cardinal. But I imagine if it were truly gold-gold-gold, you (and other fans) would hate just as much, or even more so.
That points to a couple of things (1) Those who want a big set of alternates, but also want a complete redesign; (2) those who want alternates within the present scheme, but have passionate preferences about which combination is used. And that'd be the situation no matter how many possibilities a team has: Some fans will love a specific look, despise another one.
Oregon was the pioneer in this trend, and as more options were added, several of the uniform sets look sharp, others are horrendous. (And I bet my opinion of which is which would vary from another person's perspective).
Except for getting trolled by McD's, I actually kind of like them. I also liked the gold uni's the Bball team wore, so take that FWIW.
The other thing is that it shows effort. Not a great effort, but an effort nonetheless.
When I go into a restaurant I order a chicken and an egg, just to see what comes first.

Red on red nearly always looks bad.This is what I'm talking about for a home uni look. I think this should definitely be in the rotation for home games and would be great to open up with against UNI. Not sure why they haven't gone with this look before.
They should have added some white to the uniforms this season when they changed them. White stripe on shoulders between the other two strips..same with the pants. Then outline the numbers on the jerseys in white. That would have allowed you to wear all combinations. Throw in a white helmet and you have many alternate uniforms to choose from.
Incorrect o Cyphyllis:
Alternate Uni Games: Iowa under Chizik, 2010 vs. Mizzou, Jack Trice Throwbacks vs. Iowa 2012, Toledo all Gold last year. I have yet to hear an ISU recruit say they came here because we have alternate jerseys.
I wish they'd go back to these bad boys:
LOL
if you think about it, Ia was too ahead of the Oregon wings on the shoulder pads. Trend setters.
Every team has Alt jerseys. Players like that type of stuff more than you think. Our players are always excited when it's changed up.
D UP...I guess you're right...you're the only one on here that has any clue as to what football is or what anyone including players and recruits would want. We will all go out and get a clue so that we can compete when it comes to conversing with someone like yourself
"The student-athletes love it -- they absolutely love it," Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon said earlier this spring at Big Ten athletic director meetings. "The coaches love it, because the student-athletes love it. The recruits may love it even more than the student-athletes. I get this question a lot from recruits."
