I've just got a bad feeling about them...thought I heard a Native American war chant start to beat when I first saw it

They suck.
The only color that matters is MAROON.
Sick. In a good way. Those are hot. 17 the whiners. It's one game and players/recruits love them. STFU.
And for the people bitching about how we play in black jerseys, it has wayyyy more to do with our opponents. Bama and FL, unless I'm remembering incorrectly. And I expect UK to play us tough this year. They have for several years now. We'll win, but it'll be a lot closer than most of you think it "should" be.
No matter what their aesthetic appeal, I cringe every time we announce black uniforms. According to research at Cornell & Florida, teams that wear black uniforms consistently ranked near the top of their leagues in penalties. Additionally, switches from non-black to black uniforms have been associated with an increase in penalties. Anybody remember the 2010 kentucky game at The Hump? Varnado fouled out before Calipari's hair gel even had a chance to dry.
Love them, and I've loved 75-80% of what Adidas has done for our athletic program. And for the "we always lose in black" morons, we tend to have lost those games because we weren't very good…. Playing very good teams.
The only thing I would change is add black pants and go for an all black look.
I like 'em
I'll agree that kids are not going to choose where to play football based on uniforms but I will also guess that most high school kids don't know or even care that Alabama, Penn State, etc. are wearing the same uniforms that they did 275 years ago. The kids do notice the different uniforms that teams currently wear which means they are paying attention to Mississippi State if they like their different uniforms.
As long as we go into the Kentucky game 7-0 I don't really care what we are wearing.
if the players like them, wear them. If they don't, don't. I'm all for whatever gets them rolling.
