This guy is a moron. Quotes an article that asked all of 100 kids like it's the gospel. Meanwhile, yup, look at the schools above.

Amazing how Bama and Penn State were rated the worst, yet they consistently recruit better than the programs with the "best" unis.
 
Here's how these threads always go:

Someone posts some crazy version of a Canes uniform they'd like to see.

The people that like the classic look vomit and respond with an insult to the OP's clearly deficient taste.

The Oregon fans chime in that this crap is what the "kids" are attracted to.

The oldheads respond mentioning all the "blueblood" programs and their adherence to traditional looks.

The guys that would like a Jumpman logo on neon unis respond with "evidence" contrary by showing some alternate uni that Penn State wore 3 seasons ago in a Kickoff Classic vs Rutgers.

The oldheads yell to get off their porches and that they'll put a bullet in the Oregon apologists heads if they mentioning touching our helmets next.

The guys that like to create new unis for us weekly on their PS4s don't reply as they have to go wait in line for the release of some butt ugly Yeezys that will happen 72 hrs from now.

Storied football programs have iconic "looks". All of them do. You should be able to look at a teams and know who you're seeing. When you see USC, Alabama, Penn St., Michigan, FSU, UF, etc., etc., etc. you can tell who you're looking at. An identifiable and recognizable look is part of a "brand". And UM is no different. We are a storied program with an inconic look and our uniforms are part and parcel of our "brand".

This is UM's brand. This is our historical and recognizable look. This is how the college football world identifies and recognizes the University of Mimi football team:

Now here's what the dip****s at Nike did. There's nothing about this look (or any other that Nike did for us) that was right for UM. The graphics had absolutely zero visual relationship to our recognizable brand identity. Sure, you can take a historical look and update it. But Nike did no such thing. They simply picked a graphic style out of their *** and sent it down to Coral Gables. It literally looks a middle school graphics art class did this. You look at Nike's UM uniforms and you had no idea if you were looking at UM or some other team. Nothing about those unis screamed out "Miami Hurricanes".

And Nike didn't just miss on the graphics. Even the colors were atrocious. UM is located in the most visually tropical parts of the US. Historically, our colors drew from that tropical association; i.e. our colors were bright, vivid, tropical [plant and fruit based, and representative of South Florida. Yet Nike picked colors more appropriate and representative of the the rust belt parts of the mid-west. The orange wasn't tropical, it looked like rust. And the green looked like an industrial cleaning solution or the color of a commercial dumpster, rather than the tropical plant green evocative of SoFl.

Happily Adidas understands good design principals, respects our brand, and has given us uniforms (after the first year's dumb-*** feathers on the sleeve) that have nailed it. The new graphics of our Adidas uniforms are emblematic and evocative of our historical look, and the colors are bright, vivid and representative of SoFl's tropical color palate. Anyone looking at our Adidas uniforms knows they're looking at the Miami Hurricanes.

The bottom line is that Nike saddled us with the worst uniforms in program history. Complete and utter garbage. No way should we entrust those clowns with our uniforms in the future. If Youngstown State ever wants to go orange and green, Nike can just pull our old unis off the shelf. The look would work fine for Youngstown St or some other mid-west program. But they never made proper uniforms for SoFl based UM. The Adidas uniforms strike the correct balance between being modern and fresh, while remaining true to our iconic look and brand.

NO why do *** clowns suggest we try to become Oregon every year? we have a recognizable identity leave it alone

Exactly. We already have an identity. We need to maintain it. Sure, the crazy combos worked for Oregon, Maryland, etc. BECAUSE they had no identity prior to that. Oregon's billion combos (including some hideous ones) and Maryland's laughable unis that make them look like jesters, were intended to bring attention to them and build an identity. That's not needed for a school that already has an identity.

I believe that our football program is becoming more modern, and so should our uniforms. Miami is a flashy city and our unis should reflect our city.

I realize the old-heads on this board love the throwback unis we wear now but majority of recruits do not, and believe it or not, Uniforms matter to recruits, period. "but Bama doesn't..." Well, yeah, but Bama also hands out major 💰 💰💰. We need any recruiting advantage we can get.

Under Nike we were innovators of uniform combinations. I believe we should go in the direction that Adidas has taken Louisville with their uniforms.

What are your opinions if the football program adopted the Miami Vice jerseys that the Heat wear?View attachment 77530View attachment 77529

Please go take a long a walk off a short pier and take your ugly *** Louisville uniforms with you! Jesus another uniform thread, the uniforms we’ve had since Richt got here are about the only consistent good thing about our program. Now if manny can get those boys playing like the legends that made those uniforms great that would be awesome! Don’t F with uniforms because then you end up with feathers on the shloulders. Smh

What the **** are you talking about?! OSU still wears there traditional uniforms and colors majority of the time and like all other programs has some alternates they throw in just like we do. Come on man, that’s a seriously week argument.

OMG they asked ONE HUNDRED KIDS!?!??

Well stop the presses this is clearly great science.

You must be a statistician.

You might want to come at me with something much stronger than that, because I will destroy this argument all day long.

Do you ever use your brain?

Try it sometime. Still waiting for you to say something intelligent instead of insulting me because you are unable to formulate a coherent thought.

Present your argument that uniforms do not play a factor AT ALL when it comes to recruiting.
