The New Uniform Unveiling (August 22nd, 7:30 pm, terpstv)

[Pedro Cerrano]

These things are hideous. The helmets are AWFUL.

[OregonBird]

Well, I'm impressed. The only ones I didn't like were the all red or all white uniforms, no matter what the helmet. I think I like the black matte helmet more than the white.

The uniforms only matter to recruits if the team is winning in an exciting way.

[glenn__davis]

I think the uniforms are OK, but the helmets IMO are terrible. Both of them are bad, the black matte is at least acceptable.

I think I'm just not a fan of the direction college unis are going in, but to be honest I'm too much of a traditionalist sometimes.

[Danielos38]

Wow. I absolutely love the helmets, especially the black.

[Pedro Cerrano]

What's wrong with the scripted "Terps" on an all-white helmet? The pencil-thin Maryland flag pattern down the middle with random "crap" on the sides is hideous.

Nothing was wrong with them... it just got boring. Was representative of an era gone in MD football. It was time for a rebranding. Recruits will love the news stuff.

[Don Quixote]

If the recruits love the new stuff, it confirms the non-academic nature of their potential scholarships. The uniforms are awful, top to bottom. I don't want to piss on your fire too much, though, so I'll leave it at that. I've never liked the newer crop of Oregon's uniforms, either, so if nothing else I'm consistent.

[JohnD]

I do like the turtle shell design on the white helmet. That's kind of cool. I like the shade of black, but would like to see something Maryland-esque on the sides. Otherwise? Eh. The combos can range from no big deal to cringe, depending on how they're arrayed.

[ShaneDawg85]

Disgusting. Just about every single one. The white top with red pants is the only one I found tolerable. The helmet is a travesty and a disgrace.

[Danielos38]

I find it incredible that you guys can hate them so much while all of my friends and I can love them so much. I guess that the point of them? To get people to talk about them. It's working.

Just because you go to Maryland doesn't mean you have to like everything that the school/athletics does.

I've now seen bigger pictures of the uniforms and I still don't like them. I also think the numbers on the jersey's are way too big!

These things resemble what my dog left on the front lawn this morning.

I definitely don't like everything they do. Ask me about Debbie Yow and how I felt about her during her time here. Ask me about how I could easily fix the incompetence in the athletic department and get the program back into the black in approx 2 years.

[NewMarketSean]

Did the Terps join the XFL? Those things are hideous. But most new college uniforms are these days.

Michigan/Notre Dame running out "new throwbacks" for their September match-up this year:
