Ole Miss's New Uniforms Are Hideous

I think their white uniform with dark blue numbers/trim looks like some hand-me down outfit from Penn State.
It seems many teams this year are tinkering with their uniform design, when there are bigger things to work on.

The real reason they took away the grey is the same reason they took away the mascot, took away the dixie song, and the same reason the state of Georgia removed the Confederate flag from there state flag. It has nothing to do with getting new uniforms really.
Thanks, Kevin4Bama...there has always seemed to be difficulty in people grasping what the Rebel / Black Bear change was...as you stated, they never quit being the Rebels...just switched the actual physical sideline mascot. My son goes to Ole Miss...so I was able to keep track of the voting, etc of the mascot switch.
It was actually humorous at the Ole Miss - Bama game last year. Someone showed up as the Col Reb mascot and was on the Ole Miss sideline until someone recognized it and escorted them off.
While Alabama didn't officially have an elephant as a mascot until 1979, it had been associated with us since the 1920s. I can't see the Ole Miss black bear being accepted overnight. Especially with a popular, longstanding mascot being removed.
Wasn't there also a guy who suck onto their sideline and pretended to be a trainer? No one realized until afterwords when his twitter or blog chronicled the experience.
I'm trying to understand why there seems to be a trend toward so many new looks in uniforms. Sure, schools get endorsement money for wearing a logo. But why would the uniform maker add the extra expense of all new designs?
The makers, underarmour and nike, maybe have marketing research that suggests the new designs make their logos be noticed (even if unconsciously) more than old designs?????
I tell ya' what, the new OleMiss uniforms make me want to run out and by some Nike stuff, right now.

It's pretty simple really. New uniforms means fans want to buy the new uniforms, which equals more money.I'm trying to understand why there seems to be a trend toward so many new looks in uniforms.

And you aren't the targeted audience, so they don't expect you to want to go buy it. Why buy that new Nike championship shirt in January? It's just like the previous one.:rolleye2:
