Football Uniform Color Schemes....Vote for Favorite

[Just1More]

_ our best uniform is white jersey on red pants...we wont ever get a black uniform because it will look too much like arkansas state. we also had the fifth best uniform in the country so there is no need to change it _

I like the white jersey/red pants, and the all red. Black would be interesting for a special event, but there are many drawbacks. I would much prefer we not go meddling with the uniform very often. It smacks of indecisiveness.

IMO all red, all white, or any other all color is boring. I think the uniforms simply need to be red top, white bottom at home, and white top red bottom on the road. I agree we should not be constantly changing the design of the uniform. A little black trim goes a long way and should never be a dominant color for UL.

Names and programs. Really UL has taken a good step in using numbers on the uniforms, and removing the names. When that step is taken the numbers should not be stylized because that obscures them. When the uniforms only have numbers the programs should not be alphabetical but numerical to be user friendly.

_ I am not in favor of any changes! All of this "uniform jumping around" does not stimulate any kind of tradition....something I find sorely lacking with our University.

My advice is, if it is necessary, to develop a uniform that when you see it says "Ragin Cajuns" and stick with it. _

I am in not in favor of changes either. We've changed our unis several times since Baldwin.

The above uniform is our traditional uniform.

It's high time we embrace that tradition.

If you have to, replace CAJUNS on the front of the jersey with LOUISIANA.


While we're at it, we could also scrap all of the yellow, the flaming vegetables, and the faded, cherry red that makes all of our swag look like bird-crapped-on garbage as well as the fruity numbers.

It's time we have gear and uniforms that exude class and tradition worthy of THE UNIVERSITY OF LOUISIANA.

_ That is the boss of uniforms. I still think it is looks plenty current, but unfortunately the younger fans will likely disagree. _

If we continually tailor our look to what the "younger fans" like, we will continually change the uniform as well to keep up with the current fads. Therefore, there will be zero chance of building any tradition at all.

I don't see the "younger fans" of these schools having a problem with their uniforms:

Ohio State
Michigan
Alabama
Penn State
LSU
Texas
Texas A&M
Auburn
etc. etc. etc.

Just look at the results of this poll. People are voting for the uniform worn by Clarence Verdin, Brian Mitchell, Orlando Thomas, Jake Delhomme and Brandon Stokely whether they realize it or not.

The thought that our current uniforms and the current look of our swag will become "our look" makes me want to vomit.

I like the old "Cajuns script" and uniforms because that is when I was a student and we had a lot of success in those. The current helmet and numbers are a legacy of the "Baldwin Era". I don't care what they wear just win baby.

Your pic of the "old" cajuns uni's are a classic. All cajun athletic teams should have cajuns written on them and nothing else. It solidifies what this area is all about and the identity. Take off everything else and put back cajuns and you have instant tradition. Way too many uniform changes over the past several years to have any sort of identity and direction!! cajuns only on all uniforms!!

Exactly why we will keep what we have. "Ragin Cajuns" has the most currency for recognition outside the state.

I love the old ones too, but I do like what we have now. Going all one color is a great idea. All red at home and all white on the road. it looks more like a college uniform, kinda how when the Saints wore all black a few years ago for a few games. Speaking of black, i would love to see some all black uni's for special games. when i was a senior in high school, we went with the third jersey, and ended up with the all black look as being our favorite, it looks great. i agree that it shouldn't be a dominate color, but as a third uni, it would be awesome.

another thing that nobody ever mentions that i think is awesome about our uni's are the black facemasks.

i also wish we'd drop the vegetable, and just go with cajuns in script on the side.

i think that covers all bases.

This is our uniform.

One day we'll come to our senses and go back to it.

I agree! IMHO, that is the best uniform ever worn by the Cajuns. I think it also provided us with the most on-field success (Brian M., Jake D., Brandon S., etc...). I'd have no problems returning to that uniform and sticking with it. I also liked the simple "Cajuns" on the helmet.

I like it also but do you think we like it because we so many good teams in those uniforms?
