West Virginia will be one of ten schools to wear the new, innovative Nike uniforms. The ten schools that will wear the new uniforms are the University of Alabama, Boise State University, University of Florida, University of Miami (FL), The Ohio State University, Oregon State University, University of Pittsburgh, Texas Christian University, Virginia Tech and West Virginia University. Each team will wear the uniform for at least one game this season.

The Nike Pro Combat uniforms are engineered to provide superior protection and durability, while utilizing advanced fabrics and tooling that reduced weight. Nike worked with each university to bring relevant elements of the school’s rich heritage into the futuristic elite fit uniform designs. The collaborations with the universities produced the highly customized uniforms that will be revealed just days prior to the start of the 2010 college football season.

=================

No word yet on what these special unis are going to look like, but it’s nice to see that Nike is making an effort to include WVU in these exclusive clubs.

Also, there is an executive at Nike that is from WVU, so it certainly doesn’t hurt in terms of us staying in touch with the latest and greatest. Here’s an artists rendering of a possible combination, but by no means is the finished product.

That said… Consider me a fan. I hope the end result resembles this closely. I mean… Why not?

Do uni geeks like these? Usually, the uglier something is the more likely the uni geeks are to like them.

The players like them and I think that's all that really matters...


edit: I'm trying to find the new uni's for the rest of the schools to see how much (if at all) they differ from last years Pro Combat Uni's...

 

[Goober]

The article states that the uniforms haven't been designed yet. The picture is just some artist's idea for them.

On another note, I wish Wisconsin would switch to Nike.

i know they are renderings, but its fun to see what people think about them.... Bama fans are not happy about this at all...

 

[Chrispy]

dudes right arm looks like its broken lol

Alabama still has white guys on the team?

 

[Atlas]

more gay 'shops (dunno why they included ND, but oh well):

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

It doesnt really bother me when these silly programs like Oregon & WVU change their uniforms every year, but it kinda bothers me when a school like Alabama does it. Does tradition mean anything anymore?

 

[Bear Pand]

Pitt Uni is only one I like.

And I agree Bama really doesn't need a pro combat uni.

I would actually argue that the fans opinions would matter more.

If we left uniform standards up to the players, it would be ab outright disaster. In every sport.

I agree about Oregon, but WVU has tradition (albeit, not as much as Bama, but more so than most schools)...

Meh, I understand your point, but if the players are happy, nothing else really matters...

WVU does not have tradition.

Too much yellow for me..

14th in All Time wins, yea urite...

From what I've been hearing, ours and yours (VT) will be all whites with blue and yellow mixed in (or maroon and burnt orange for yours)... I like that idea much more than the rendering...

 

[BigDuke]

I like Pitt's. It actually looks like their uniform before they changed to the blue/gold.

They also have the 14th oldest program. What big-name schools would you say WVU has more tradition than?

Never said they had more tradition than "big name" schools, but to say they have no tradition is laughable...
