Having watched yesterday's highlights, I noticed the all-green look and I have to say, I don't like it. Not a fan. Am I in the minority?

I love the "Yoda" uniforms. Actually, I like all of the matching 3-piece uniforms (all green, all white, all black)

Edit: At the game I also commented to C Money that I thought yesterday's uniforms looked especially sharp. I couldn't put my finger on why...possibly the multiple thin white stripes on the helmets

Pants should always match helmets.

Not a fan of green tops and bottoms, but they did look better yesterday with the matte finish and the double stripe. Looks much better than Green / Green with the white helmets.

As for both sets of pants, a short version of the double stripe might tie in the rest of the uniform and maintain a traditional look with a bit of the modern flare. We can move the Arched Ohio from the front of the hip to the side.

Not a fan of the brick uniforms because the numbers are hard to read.

As for the black out uniforms, they should keep the helmets the same but use the same type of helmet strip pattern on the shoulders and pants. Again maybe the cut off stripe on the side of the pants. The number fonts are horrible and with the current shoulder pattern, they look a bit high school not to mention it is the same template some of the other small colleges had.

Nope - Gray pants with White jersey and Green helmet would look real nice.

Sounds like something EMU would do.

I will only say that they were light years ahead of the uniforms worn yesterday by the University of Nebraska at Lincoln! :-) These were the most hideous uniforms I think I've ever seen a collegiate team wear. They looked like aliens from some obscure planet in another solar system.

Have to agree with OCF on the Nebraska uniforms.

As for gray pants, please do not remind me of the Cleve Bryant years!

For me, the all black and the Green helmet/white jersey/green pants combinations remain the sharpest looking ones we have.

The all-blacks and the green-white-green looks are nice, but I'm a big fan of the all-whites. Our worst look is when we combine the black jerseys with green pants.

Note that in all three of these, the pants and helmets match.

I'm in agreement with C.Money. I'm not sure why, but to me the green-green-white, or the white-white-green just doesn't look as good as green-white-green or white-green-white. For whatever reason, when the helmets and pants match, I think it looks better.

What do you think of green-black-green? That's the one I hate the most, followed by white-white-green.

I'm a big fan of the all-whites too; reminds me of the thrilling FIPB win over Utah State, for whatever reason. I do like the black jersey with the green sleeves with little "Ohio"s wriiten all over them. And the matted helmet look is pretty cool too. But all-white's my favorite-for me it's a cleaner look.

what's up with the cheerleaders? You would think it was winter with the outfits the girls are wearing.

I agree with you that the black doesn't match. It should be all-black, no black.

I like the Green/White/Green, the White/Green/White and the all black. I dislike the all white.

I can't remember the last Adidas uniform I liked.

I found these pictures. Indeed, they are about as ugly as they come, a hideous red and black combo, with stripes that appear to be made from duct tape.

I wouldn't mind see some white helmets with green facemasks. Or green with white. So many things you can do to change it up.

2) Green white green
3) All whites brick numbers
4) All whites
5) White green white
6) White black black
7) White green green

Do you have any idea why or how they came up with this uniform? Was duct tape invented by researchers at Nebraska? :-) I'm really searching for why anybody in the AD's office would approve a uniform like this.
