I'm not making an argument. I like our uni's just fine and don't care if we ever change. Just saying, I wouldn't mind seeing a different look if that's what they chose to do. Our uniforms have changed thought history contrary to what people think.

Subtle changes are one thing. Houndstooth helmets and completely reversed color schemes are another idea entirely.

Heaven forbid we change it up every once in a while.

I thought that was an argument for changing the unis. I apologize if I misinterpreted you.

I still would like to see our road whites with a white helmet. Shit looked good when Curry did it an it would look good now.

The second pic you put up isn't that bad actually. As long as the "theory" of the uniform is correct, then I don't mind seeing changes. It is the drastic [bs] that I don't want Bama to do anytime soon.

I typicaly hate these unis, and I think bama should keep their unis as they are, to much tradition. But this looked pretty good.

That sh!t looks retarded. Why in the hell anyone would think otherwise is beyond me. The thing that would make sense is to bring the white helmets out of retirement once or twice a year. Maybe for the third saturday and Iron bowl...

If that's to memorialize bear bryant, then what will they do to memorialize saban? Little Debbie oatmeal pies or ooompa loompas?

Terrible....beyond terrible. I don't know why we don't bust out the throwback white helmets once a year.

Most Bama fans aren't creative and hate the whole pro combat uniform concept. Too old school and traditionalist. I, for one, would love to wear something other than our normal helmets once a year.

I have been saying for years that we should wear our old school white helmets with the crimson numbering on them for a game a year. I don't mind the houndstooth thing they have there as long as it's a one time thing. The A looks a bit jacked up though.

Well thank God we are a running team, lol. I would get fvcking dizzy looking at those things all game for sure. The idea isn't horrible but I agree that the execution was lacking in that pic.

Okay man. No reason to go all "Here's Johnny" on us for discussing something that was put in a thread.

That's harsh, castration? Geeze what about writing a letter or something. Castration is taking it a little far. I mean they are just helmets.
