The Direction Miami Should Go With Adidas Unis

Nothing wrong with our Uniforms. They are so much better than the Nikes (2006-2014) and Adidas (2015). Now I wouldn't mind wearing one special uniform a year. But, the traditional look is solid.

Objectively, the 2014 Nike uniforms were the worst I've seen us sport.

Adidas has done a lot of bad with our threads but they got it right now. Let's not fvck with it anymore outside of alternates here and there.

There aren't any programs that are a recruiting threat that have gimmicky uniforms.
 
1. Our current uniforms are perfect.
2. more orange / white pants and white / orange pants, less green.
3. Never all orange, maybe once every other year all green.
4. All white once or twice a year.
5. All black once or twice a year.
6. Throwback 2001s once or twice a year.
7. Maybe a Crazy, different but nice alternate once a year
 
There’s probably a smart medium in this argument somewhere. I’m sure every here and there we can bring out a special game uni that’s cool. Aside from that I’m not interested in a uni overhaul at all. More like what Army might do to commemorate some event in history or our military. We can send our guys out in guayaberas and hand the fans pots and pans and have a willow chirino day.

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?

EDIT: There is a reason why when we played on national televised games against VT and Notre Dame we wore our "Miami Nights" alternates. IT APPEALS TO RECRUITS. Manny said we are The New Miami, I guarantee we modernize our uniforms.

We didn't wear black against Notre Dame my dude. And our uniforms are modern, they're the best product adidas already puts out, the Louisville ones are the same bullbleep we all hated in 2015.

The aesthetic is throwback, but the primeknit material is modern. Manny keeps talking about "TNM" I guarantee he changes our 80s style uniforms that Richt chose. He's doing everything to separate from the previous staff.

Please give me an example (outside of Oregon) that resides in the upper echelon (as a brand) of college football with the modern uniforms you speak of. Our uniforms are great I really don't understand what you mean. The new-age Nike ones we had in 2014 were so terrible.

The uniforms we wear now are our 80s throwbacks remade by Adidas. Ohio State wears alternates multiple times each year

Alternates and new uniforms are 2 different things... those OSU uniforms are just their same threads in different colors. There is 0 chance we ever wear anything close to a vice uniform color-way, they aren't University of Miami colors.

Our uniforms are sick.

From the early 2000's our uniforms we're modern until Richt took the program back to the 80s. Old heads love the 80s replicas bc of nostalgia. Recruits don't give a **** about what happened in the 80s, they want to look fresh. I guarantee Manny gets rid of the 80s style uniforms and modernizes our look. Nothing about our uniforms now reflects the city of Miami which is all about flash and style.

Your premise is absolutely wrong given that every major program has an old school look. The most famous jerseys in college football are old school look. Notre Dame, Penn State, Texas, USC, Florida, Tennessee, Michigan. How many more do I need to name? Their recruiting is just fine. The uniform thing has and always will be a misnomer. The New Miami needs to win, that is all.

P.S. I am not an old head (recent grad in 2017) and I believe our uniforms to be perfect, captures the old and the new perfectly. It does not need to be one or the other.

I know this is a bit off-topic but my major complaint is this: Can we please, for the love of god, stop wearing the goofy white shoes with our uni's and go back to wearing black cleats every week? I don't know how everyone else feels, but I've just always felt like black cleats look tough, and the white style is wack, plain and simple.

Agreed. The white shoes are old school, but when we introduced the black socks and cleats, it was kind of like the Fab 5 introducing black socks and black shoes. It showed a little bit of a rebel side and it just looked cleaner.

All of those programs u named have a much longer history than Miami. Miami has only been relevant since the 80s. We were the first to sign a deal with Nike and were considered innovators when it came to uniforms. "TNM" under Manny will get modern unis. If u can't tell, Manny is taking every step to separate his tenure from the previous one.

I agree w u that Adidas got it right, but u really thought the 2014 joints were bad? The kids loved them and they were really well made, imo. No way those joints were worst than that half and half bull chit Nike gave us.

The tech was good, but they went too far in my opinion. They didn't feel like Miami and felt too much like Oregon. Just my opinion, I much prefer what we have now.

We're a "young" program but our history lies in the 80s, why wouldn't we want to own that? I know the history of Miami football so don't try to school me on that, I know we are trailblazers. Regardless, win games, uniforms don't mean **** and your post was not very well received so I think it is safe to say you're in the minority.

If Manny makes significant changes to our uniforms, I'd be disappointed. That would make it the 4th time in the last 5 years, it is kind of a joke.

EDIT: Just went through your posting history about this... you want us to be Oregon South? You sound like a stereotypical Miami fan. Adidas doesn't have a factory 2 blocks away. Oregon is a gimmicky show-pony for Nike tech, they've become a joke recently with how ridiculous the jerseys actually get now.
