Maryland Unis

[T-Dog]

My roommates and I (and some ODU football players watching with us) all thought they were badass. We were actually kinda shocked this morning when we saw all the negative reactions on all the message boards and social media sites. We all thought they were one of the best uniforms ever.

You should understand my Arab brother that the old people are staunch in their traditions. Trust me, when we get as old as 89Hen sometime in 2234, these types of uniforms will be remembered fondly. Today's new-fangled kids crap becomes tomorrow's tradition.

BTW, those uniforms sucked.

I remember when Oregon first came out with the wings on the shoulder pads and people complained, there was an analyst that said (non-verbatim), "If these had come out in the 1970s, we'd be calling them one of the best uniform traditions today."

Why am I not surprised that you actually liked them?

Which begs the next question: What the HELL is the Maryland State flag supposed to represent?

They are the two crests of the Calvert and Crossland families who were the prominent in Maryland in the 1600's. IMO the Maryland flag is one of the best in the country.

Oregon's colors are Green and Yellow (with no official shade of either set from what I could find) with black, white, and silver as accents.

So, technically all of their uniforms are school colors.

The two official colors of the University of Oregon are green (PMS 3425) and yellow (PMS 108)...

Other greens and yellows are acceptable as complementary colors

I thought they were kinda cool, if only because I knew it was really going to chap the britches of some of the elderly folk here I love it when people take this kind of shit so seriously.

The black and gold side of the hemet should have been matched to the red/white shoulder to look more like our flag. I liked them. Fuck everyone else.

Not so fast there bandall. Myself, BillK, Andy... we're all on board. It seems most of the objection is coming from the 30 something crowd.

Was the topic of discussion again this morning on sports talk here. Local HS coach tweeted that all of his players loved the unis. Just talked to a big Terp fan at work (just turned 70 two weeks ago) and he loved them. #1 WR recruit in the nation tweeted that he loved them. I'm with Andy, fuck the rest of you sticks in the mud.

BTW clenz, I should mention that my #1 pet peeve on unis is when schools wear colors that aren't their school colors. FSU and VT wearing black, OkieSt and Boise wearing grey, etc... White is the only exception.

At least you finally realize you're part of the elderly folk on this board

[89Hen]

Crabcakes and football.

You hit the 40 mark this year, no?

You're one to talk.

might be ugly, but that yellow is a school color. Unlike the red they use.

But that blue isn't.

Well, isn't that very "English" of Maryland.

Pretty sure the first Calverts were from Ireland.

[Ivytalk]

I'm older than any of you handjobs, and I think those new unis are da schitt!

i can't help that it took our athletic department 30 years to understand what columbia blue is.

Even worse.

I don't hate the uni's, but it could have been done better. I think they should have gone with one design on the helmet and the other on the shoulders. Going half and half straight down the middle was a bad move, IMHO.

And 89 and Andy, you guys aren't from Maryland. Why are you referring to it in the possessive?

Fuck Maryland! I'm only using it for a job!

You could make a t-shirt out of that and sell it to LOTS of federal employees!

Where did I do that? And AFAIK, Andy is from Maryland.

I'll always be a Delawarean, but I've now lived in Maryland for 21 years... it's closing in on more than half my life.

While technically, I was born in DC, my parents did live in Silver Spring up until I was 6. And then moved back, to Columbia, when I was 13. I think I qualify to be considered a Maryland native.
