Looks like Indiana to me, though Indiana has gone even more nuts with their kits.

Omg please say this is a joke. Maybe just like a once or twice occasion. They don't need to go the loser way like Okie Lite.

Around here, in Oklahoma, it is obvious that recruiting has fallen off at OU. It bothered people a lot to lose an Oklahoma quarterback (from Norman) to Alabama. This along w/ new building plans it is hoped will boost recruiting. TA&M, BAMA, LSU etc are winning too many recruiting battles, in Texas especially. Flashy uniforms will attract some players. Thank goodness, Alabama doesn't need this.
OU press release:
Bad news: they will wear these at some point.
Good news: they won't wear these every week.

I agree with you - though you'd think that having just whooped us would be a plenty strong recruiting pitch.
Oklahoma has one of the best traditions in football. I absolutely do not understand their inferiority complex.
Kowtowing not just to the state of Texas, but to the University of Texas during the conference re-alignment (which re-alignment would have happened earlier if Colt hadn't gotten hurt) was embarrassing to watch.
I thought their old unis were in a class with ours....simple, yet unmistakable.
But they throw that away because they think a new neck border, plus chrome on a helmet will win over a prospect or two? And that talent infusion will lead them to the promised land? What a terrible crying shame. Bud Wilkinson is spinning right now.

They'd be okay for a school that was creating a uniform for the first time, but not for Oklahoma.
I hate faux textures on uniforms.

Man it is pretty hard to imagine OU coming out in those. I hate to see traditional teams make changes like this. If it ain't broke do not fix it.
That's not really a fair statement. He wasn't an Oklahoma QB and he wasn't from Norman.
He was born in Nebraska, moved to Florida during High School. Then moved again to Jones, Oklahoma during his Senior season. He was actually granted a second Senior season because of his families hardships and played a second Senior season in Norman.
And directly from Cornwell's mouth about his recruitment by Oklahoma:
Let's not act like uniforms might have changed his mind.
Haven't they done this before on a one game basis here and there? Sort of like we have a couple of times? Certainly, the changes we had were very subtle, nothing like this. Either way, I'm not a fan. Oklahoma's recruiting has fallen off because Stoops forgot how to back up his loud mouth. They started losing more and more. I would have thought after whipping us in the Sugar Bowl, it would have helped.
Oh and the Big 12 is paying for letting A&M get away. It has opened inroads to the state of Texas for recruiting for the SEC, and those openings are only going to get bigger. Since Oklahoma makes its living in Texas... they're going to suffer too.

I actually think that the road uniforms look decent. For the home uniform, it looks like they are wearing a white neckerchief. :biggrin2:
I don't like those uniforms but as for Alabama I wouldn't mind seeing them break out the white helmets when we wear road white and the other team has red helmets. I think USC 1971 might be the last game I remember us doing that. Started off the 70's with a bang.
I do not like uniform changes for "traditional programs". Indiana, Okie lite and Oregon can do whatever they want with their unis cause nobody cares.
If they would have went with the white helmets and kept the jerseys the same I would say cool, but these are garbage!
I was sad to read of this development. As a matter of fact, I ridiculed programs for the tactic. Traditional programs like OU should NEVER try to fix what ain't broke.
Proponents claim a recruiting advantage. Unless recruits have changed a lot, they want to go to programs where they can win, be seen on TV a lot, and become developed for a possible future in the NFL.
Thank goodness the unis are for only two games per year.
