If I was being completely honest. I am a Nike guy but the Adidas uniform above looks much better than the Nike version, which you like. The Nike version is way too much green for me. We have 3 colors......use them. I like the classic looking stripes. Last I checked the vast majority of the teams winning playoff games stick with more of a classic look.
I get it… I have minimalist taste on clothing and generally like my footwear to be eye catching. And alot of folks prefer otherwise. Just proves no matter what gets chosen some will like it and some won’t.
No you are in the majority. That's definitely the most loved uniform this century (my 2nd/3rd favorite). It's the only time we had a new uniform where everyone seemed smitten.
I wasn't smitten, I thought everything was nice other than the pattern on the jersey material, which messed it up for me. Adidas really got it right with the latest uniforms though. IMO
That was this century and I was smitten!
I see your point and it's pretty good. I guess being in my early/mid 30s I grew up with them changing unis every few years. But yeah, traditional powers have iconic traditional uniforms.
The ‘00-‘02 over the Adidas? Yes. But that’s not saying much because the more recent iterations just **** people off.
Win games and whatever uni is worn will be everyone's favorite...
Hold a national title trophy wearing a green and orange tutu and everyone will love tutu's....
Absolutely....
A team’s uniform style doesn’t affect how well they play but it does say something that the top programs don’t feel the need to bother with gimmicky uniforms. I always felt that during our slide in the mid-late 2000’s Nike was almost trying to compensate for our bad football by constantly supplying newer and more radical jersey styles. I get it from a marketing perspective that they’re just trying to sell product but I want fans to buy Miami jerseys because they love the team. Not feel obligated to buy one every year because they change the style.
Fair enough… being too lazy to research, I feel like our jerseys have gone through a change every 3 or so years since the mid 90’s. Maybe a bit sooner. Collars, stripe placement on the sleeves, pants stripes, color shades… something. We’ve been toying with our look regardless of wins and losses for a minute.
I also preferred the "bra-strap" jersey. It was cleaner and simpler than the 00-02 jerseys. I agree that people love those simply because we beat the crap out of everyone while we had them. Not because they were particularly good looking.
