This gray trend needs to go. No one looks good in it. The worst offender is Oklahoma State combining it with that orange.

But if anyone could use a change in overall look, it's Eastern.

It says "a Mind-Boggling 20 Different New Uniform Looks". Count me among the boggled, then since with 3 pants, 3 helmets, and 3 jerseys, that should be 3*3*3 or 27 looks. Are there some combos they can wear together? Or, perhaps, 7 of the looks are looks they already had? (scratches head)

In any case, I think the green and grey looks pretty bad. No way it comes close to the Black and Green that Ohio used. To me it looks more like a practice outfit. None of the outfits have much excitement to them, if you ask me.

It's not the unis...it's who's inside them that counts.  When you're coming off a 4-6 season against 1A schools...and that's the best you've done in God knows when...you need to be recruiting.

Plus, they've got 20-27 different uni combos, but only play 12 games.  WAAAAAAYYYYY too much emphasis on fashion.

Agreed. Why does a team want to look different at every game?  In terms of brand identity, it's the classic looks that people remember.  NYY, the 'Boys, Penn State and 'Bama.  Pretty good company.

Besides all that, EMU can't possibly generate any real revenue for Adidas with licensed merchandise.  I don't get it.

I heard they wanted 'one' uniform per season ticket holder.  So far they have 20, their hoping they can meet their preseason goal of 27.
