Bielema said during his radio show this past Thursday that the decision was all his. According to Bret, Coach Alvarez had no say in the uniform decision. He wanted the team to look more intimidating when they played Iowa last Saturday. He also said that the red pants are not permantly retired.

Sounds like the first time a team chose to be more intimidating by wearing white instead of color.

No, they wore the all-red against Iowa, and white pants against Michigan State. Red is a color typically associated with aggression, so that makes sense.

The Badgers wore the white pants against Iowa. It’s Bielema’s alma mater and was a night game, that’s why he made the change at that time. A lot of people were saying they looked like a high school team with the red on red, that’s why they made the “more intimidating look” in the Big Ten opener against Iowa

Obviously Kris McInnis is watching the Auburn game. For some reason, Quentin Groves’ name plate is deformed. It says ‘Q. GROVES’ but oddly, the Q and the period are slimmer than his last name. Looks kind of like this: Q. GROVES

There were several Auburn players that had a different looking font/spacing/kerning than everyone else.

Yeah. Motley, the holder’s, nameplate looked like it was completely different material from the other jerseys. It almost looked like it was printed on vinyl or something. Motley was one of the players that shares a number (#20 with Patrick Lee), so it might have been a spare jersey with a name tacked on. Really odd, but maybe understandable considering it’s 5 weeks in and this is the first time they’ve worn road whites. Either way, I could really give a shit what they’re wearing right now. War Eagle!

“Could you imagine if they payed Syracuse in those jerseys? My god, the TV would explode.”

Does anyone know what type the U-Washington numerals were set in?

Not sure exactly what is is, but if you go to the niketeam.com custom football uniform designer its one of the standard numeral font choices

just checked the site, Nike calls it gothic

I was at the game against Iowa and the Badgers did indeed wear white pants/red tops under the lights last week. I heard from an inside source that Coach B. was taking a lot of slack from the people of Madison and AD Alverez, and even some of the players finally stepped up and said they didn’t like them. But who knows, they may come back.

Oh yeah, I meant in their opener. Got confused.
