When was the last time we played like the Seattle Sea Hawks? This is college, not the pros. That uni is complete garbage. 

I don't really understand the point? I wasn't talking about how we play, I was specifically talking about the uniforms. Perhaps Puc can weigh in, but I highly doubt there is a correlation between uniform designs and on-field performance. There is, however, a correlation between fashion 'branding' perceived by recruits and recruit team selection.

Hopefully we will wear them from one of those Espn+ games where no one is watching...

As with our other teams, those will only be worn when we play UCF.

I think its a lot closer to the Seahawks' green than just about any other green on a sports uniform that I can think of. 

Yes, it's somewhat close. Seattle's green is bright/sharp, while ours is a bit of a dull green.

So, when I go to paint things I do not see colors as vividly as the beautiful artistic wife I have and I often lean on her for advice.  I just had her confirm that the colors are similar.

Well that's unfortunate.

When the Uni is ugly and you win you can get away with it. When your team is bad and the uni is ugly or trying to be too cute it’s downright sad.

Why is that?  You want to see it more?  I understand that our game with them is often on national TV but would rather wear our everyday uniforms vs them and use the gimmick uniforms in other games.

Ugh....

I am unsure but this may be the longest thread in the shortest timespan about uniforms without our old friend Big Shoop being involved.

Sort of, I would like to see it more especially given how weak the 'core' set is. However, I do believe that a game where there is expected to be stronger than normal viewership (Notre Dame, UCF), then I prefer to be in our 'core' set.
