New Nike "Pro Combat" uniform for Alabama

[Alakablamo]

Relax, it isn't that bad. I'm assuming these are coming next year? Note the raised logo that shows on the leg padding.

I don't see a difference.

I don't see a difference.

Went digging for some more info. Looks like they really are the new unis for the 2010 season. MORE TECHNICAL INFO HERE

Nike designed the Nike Pro Combat uniform to address the evolution of the game: today’s players are stronger and faster and the collisions are more violent and explosive than ever before.

I don't see a difference.

The team logo is actually on the thigh pad on the right leg.

Are there any real differences to the look of the uniform other than this.

I think we should change our helmets to white next year_wink:

I wander if that logo will be on the actual uniform pant? I didn't notice one on the Virginia Tech's one they will be wearing this weekend. Anyway, they neat up close.

Very subtle, for ours anyway. I like it.

"The Nike Pro Combat uniform is 37 percent lighter than current designs (673 grams vs. 1,061 grams). Nike utilized a four-way stretch twill that does not hold sweat or water and as a result, the new uniforms are 46 percent lighter than the current designs when wet. Overall, the Nike Pro Combat uniform, when wet, is still lighter than the current Virginia Tech design when completely dry."

it's an ad. they are trying to make it look "cool". don't think you'll see teams with logos on their thigh pads beaming through their pants.

 

[KrimsonNinja]

I have no problem with it. As long as we stick with our old style, I'm happy with it.

 

[BamaBeta]

Looks like Nike wants to use the classic teams for uniforms (Bama, USC, Penn State, Ohio State, Oklahoma).

I don't see a difference.

I don't either, looks the same to me.

I see FSU is going to a black helmet. I read that they plan to use this uniform in their game against Maryland.

I don't know. It almost looks like the logo is a part of the thigh pad itself. Rather than the 3 ridges (like on the left side), there are 2 ridges and the logo. It could be just for the ad, but then again, maybe not.

Even worse... there are logos and uniform design changes associated with this campaign. Fortunately it doesn't look like we are going to be one of the 10 teams in the rollout nor are Penn State or USC. The teams missing from the photo are: TCU, FSU, LSU, Mizzou, and Miami.

So far most of the uniform changes aren't horrible, but Nike has made Oregon into their dressup doll. Let's hope it isn't contagious.

OU in white helms doesn't seem like OU.

If the only real changes relate to the extra wicking, then I'm cool with it...
