Love the traditional Old Gold pants/helmet combo......I can tolerate the black helmet with some old gold......these remind me of some failed lab experiment gone hideously bad.
Straight nasty. Just another example of horrific brand management by the Purdue athletic department. Somebody clicks on the game and they'll know immediately that Penn State is playing, but will think "who the hell is that?" when looking at us.
Was it Burke's decision, Nike's or both to use "Vegas gold"? I want to know why a non-school color suddenly became a school color. In the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter much, but it drives me crazy. Old gold is as unique Boilermakers. If we stay with Vegas gold and look like Vandy and Wake Forest, and whomever else, why don't we just change our nickname to Tigers or Wildcats?
I actually don't mind them. I think they're our best alternate uni.
I don't really mind them. Of course, if we were winning they could wear capris and turtlenecks for all I care.
like the gray B Ball uni's , they are very drab, I'd even prefer those neons we wore last year for cancer awareness over these.
Nothing was neon on the actual uniform...just on the helmets, gloves, socks and shoes
The only thing uglier than our unis is the Burke/Hazzell football legacy we are suffering through. They flat out suck. some bright youngsters have advised that unique unis attract recruits. I believe they are right. These unis will assuredly attract 2 star quality recruits.
I think that was the intent. An ABC network game and we didn't want people flipping channels to know it was Purdue that the PSU was pasting.
Same reason I guess we let a loser stay 2 more years than he should have.
What would a Boilermaker look like if he made like an ostrich and tried to hide in the coal? Now we know.
I'm surprised the ncaa (or big ten)
Allowed that matchup with two light colors
If it weren't for the helmets, I would have had a hard time telling the difference
If we keep them, at least wear the black pants and maybe use as an away option

Huh? One team was ALL WHITE.
The other was wearing A LOT of black and grey and SOME tan. I didn't see ANY similarity.
I guess it was just me then, I didn't even see tan.
Light Gray (dark shoulders) and white looked similar from a far, contrasted with dark numerals for both.
Thats why I said the helmets were the main thing I could distinguish.
Typically more is required even like Illinois vs Minnys last game (gray vs white but contrasting numerals)
Those unis are wretched. And "PURDUE" on the back where the players' last name would normally be...very high schoolesque.
