Football Uniforms

The uniform colors were ok, the design contrast of the jersey numbers were horrible and too small. I had no idea what player I was watching the entire game. I spend 90% of the time watching the big screen to see the jersey numbers and looking at the program. At least paint the numbers white!

The grey looks tough, but I would have liked to see a green helmet with it. Oh well. These kids like it and that is all that matters. If grey uniforms are going to get top recruits to sign with Tulane, than do it.

I liked them. The numbers should have been white or at least outlined in white.

How bad could it to pick up the phone and listen to people bitch about such a meaningless aspect of the team? And regardless of whether the people want to see them or not, I'd bet we wear them again.

We are the paying customers. They better learn to listen if they want more.

Once again you show your stupidity.

Tulane WON UGLY, and they had the uniforms to go along with that. I'll definitely take SIX MORE of those UGLY WINS, period.

Tulane won UGLY last night. The uniforms were a tribute to that.

I'll take six more ugly wins by the end of the season. If they want to wear those dark greys again, then so be it. Just WIN, baby!

I remember in 1998 when the undefeated team wore black pants with the green tops. People complained about that look back then. All they remember now is the 12-0 record.

Exactly. It is like the music some of these kids listen to. I dont like it or get it, but you still let them listen to it.

Simple: If uniforms are the reason why a recruit would choose a team, or if uniforms are the reason why a player would be motivated to excel...then you have the wrong recruits and the wrong players. Numerals are on uniforms for the purpose of viewing the sport, not playing it. Couldn't read them last night. We have the wrong uni's. Done.

Kids like to smoke weed too. They are getting a quarter of a million dollar education for free. They'll wear what they are given and wear it proudly.

The numbers are unreadable. Like most Tulane Football fans, I too am not getting any younger, but I had no difficulty whatsoever reading the numbers for the JSU players. What is so wrong with Green & Blue? We will be getting a new president and AD in about a year, hopefully they will have better taste in uniforms. If the new president & AD need a little help for selecting our uniforms they should just grab a yearbook copy for 1979 to see how it is done.

Indeed so.

This program needs all of the help we can get. Let's build a winning program before we get picky.

For those of you who could not read the numbers from your seats...think about the radio and any TV crews who have to look down on those jersey's...

Wave755 · Sat Aug 31, 2013 11:25 am

If the price for getting rid of Cowen & Dickson is ugly uniforms with illegible jersey numbers for one season, I will gladly pay it.

The players really don't care what a bunch of old stiffs in Dockers like......they like them, it's what's happening in modern college football, and most people under 35 would prefer those to some olive drab 70s era uniforms.

Even if the players are anonymous to anyone without a telescope! Cowen/Dickson nightmare ends July 1, 2014!

Eaglewave · Sat Aug 31, 2013 12:34 pm

Get with the times. These kids love these new uniforms. I would rather see olive or blue, but wins and talented recruits are what I want to see more.

After the last 15 Cow/Dick years, I can endure anything for one more year, particularly if we win, then perhaps we can get back our school colors, the best uniforms ever were for 1979.

TU never did have exactly olive green on any uniform but that's no matter.

Green numerals on gray jerseys, though, is just ridiculous. That's not even pee wee level.

And as far as "getting with the times" when was the last time Alabama changed their uniform? Or maybe the question should be "have they ever changed it?"

the players LOVED the new jerseys, they want to wear them every game if they could...

COChip, for the record I am wearing Abercrombie Jeans as I type this, and also by the way, it is so good to see 2 young guys take an interest in Green Wave football that I forgive both you and Eaglewave for your very poor taste in football uniforms.

And, Roll Wave, Cow/DIck Era (Error?) ends 7/1/14!!!

In 1998 we went 12-0 in the Shawn King Tulane uniforms and then for 1999 Cow/Dick got rid of them, where else but Tulane? (Cowen really taught that RichRod a lesson, didn't he?) Once our players realize they are essentially anonymous since their jersey numbers can't be read from the stands, opinion for this year's "Gray Wave" uniforms may change. This season is just a "tune-up" for next year and hopefully with Cow/Dick gone for 2014 better uniforms will be forthcoming.
