i don’t think it would be called logo creep, but the alfredson/spezza/heatley line being named after a promotion needs some kind of negative term. it’s not okay

How about promo creep? Same term could apply to the Sharks “Black Armor” 3rd jerseys (there is no promotional logo creep, but the jerseys are a tie in to the Seagate Black Armor hard drive).

And the Texans’ “Battle Reds.” Apparently once Coca-Cola “themed,” now associated with Halliburton, IIRC.

Those need to find a dark closet and stay there.

speaking as a pitt student… we missed the mark with those. but just barely. make the white “pitt” and numbers blue, like on our home unis, and trim them black and white and those would look sweeeeeeet as alternates…

football team got it right:

(thats the best pic i could find)

if they did that with the moniker and the numbers i’d say we’d have a successful first bball alt set in years.

The University of Tenn. – Chattanooga football team wears a very dark Old Gold that is the best color Old Gold jerseys that I have seen in years.

this?

Here is an obscure question for someone. In the mid-1980’s the Southern Miss Golden Eagles football team were rewarded with “pride” stickers of an eagle. This would have been in the years just before Brett Favre played or maybe his freshman year. Is there anyone out there in Uniwatch land who might know what this eagle looked like? And as a secondary question, what about any pictures of the football team in the 1985-1988 years (other than the Brett Favre ones which are easily found). More specifically, pictures of the team in Black jersey’s with white pants.

I don’t have what you are looking for, but I vividly remember Brett Favre’s first game for Southern Miss where he lit up Tulane for a decisive win in Hattiesburg.

The USM Eagles wore great true Old Gold jerseys that day, Brett Farve was probably a frshman. Towards the end of his career the USM uniform almost eliminated the Gold from it altogther, being pretty much an austere Black & White outfit with maybe a gold stripe or decal on the helmet.

Does anyone know off the top of their head how many “no-white” games have taken place this year in college football. I have an email discussion going on regarding USC/UCLA and I was wondering if any could help with examples?

UTC vs OKLA

They wore that jersey against Oklahoma in an early season road game, where the Sooners wore their home Maroon jerseys, which should qualify as a color vs. color jersey game.

I’d love to know Where UTC gets their uniforms, as many others, including the New Orleans Saints, should use that shade of Old Gold.

MORE TEAMS SHOULD WEAR THEM …

ich yellow (sometimes called “Athletic Gold”) jerseys, as well as true Old Gold jerseys, look pretty good on many teams. Old Gold looks particularly good when worn outdoors. I always thought that the Saints should have worn Old Gold jerseys, particularly for road games outdoors when the home team wears White.

Imagine the Saints in true Old Gold helmets and jerseys, with White Pants. That would look great !!! How about LSU with Rich Yellow jerseys WITH THE REAL UCLA STRIPING (!!!), with regular yellow helmets and white pants.

The problem in recent years are that Nike/Russell/etc. no longer offers true Old Gold uniforms, and instead has forced Gold wearing teams to dress instead in “Vegas Gold”, which is 3/4ths closer to White than Old Gold. The result is that “Vegas Gold” can not be worn as a dark jersey. I consider that color to be the equivilent of weakened Cat Piss.
