That's it? What exactly about it is "bold?" What about it is supposed to excite us as fans? It's just a plain white look with different numbers. I guess I'll withhold final judgement until I see the helmet but come on adidas. Under Armour would have at least made them interesting.
It would have been better to wear our regular home uniforms and save these for the Pac 12 title game.
They haven't even played yet and USC has already got the blue scared right out of UCLA.
Like 'Em. New uni combos will be fun.
Way stupid. I always thought we were better than those kinds of gimmicks.
What a bunch of out of touch idiots.
IT'S THE WRONG COLOR, STUPID!
UCLA-U$C is about home color vs. home color.
The battle of Los Angeles, the ONLY intra-city major college rivalry.
Why not debut this next week in Eugene? That would have been perfect. I don't mind gimmicks, but screwing with all of this tradition? Giving up on the powder keg blue on a day that we need all the mojo we can get?
Here's a great idea:
Next time, just say "no."
LOL - the bruins nation hacks are having a fit over the uniforms. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!
They also can't drop their petty name calling on game day. Those fools have got to realize that coming up with immature nicknames for Dan G., Rick N. and Bruins fans not on board with their agenda does not advance their cause. In fact, it makes them appear immature and pathetic. They are so full of themselves. I want to meet Tydides and Nestor, just once, I swear. Those little shits need to get their attitudes adjusted.
GO BRUINS!!!!!!!!!!
"UCLA has one of the most classic looks in college football, and to celebrate their crosstown rivalry our team wanted to create a bold look that would excite the Bruins and their fans as they head into the biggest rivalry game of the year," said Mark Daniels, director of football for adidas.
Hey, Mark Daniels....you want to excite the Bruins their fans? How about first and foremost developing a program and a team that's will compete week in and week out so that tonights game is NOT seen by the experts as a total blow out by USC.
You, adidas, and the UCLA Athletic Department is turning tonights game into a mockery. Shame on you.
Enough is enough. And this could very well prove to be one of the most laughable moments in UCLA Football History.
I actually think the new uniforms look nice. However I would not have debuted them against SC. It's alright to play with an alternate uniform once a season, so don't have a cow about it Bruins and lurking Toejams.
Guess I am the only one that thinks these unis look SICK. I understand tradition and the stripe over the shoulder, but it was time for a change. College football now is about swag and these look GOOD. The numbers are nice and large with a classic font and the stripe on the side of the bottoms looks great.
I LOVE 'EM!...i am from the 'old school' and i think it's about time we changed things up around UCLA...and why not against the torgans?...i think the players will be so hot to show them off when they come through that tunnel at the Coliseum, that the energy will be flowing...and renewed...face it we are not favored to win anyway so why not steel some thunder from barkley and friends if we can...AND YES WE CAN!
Agree that these should have been saved for title game, not vs trojies. It took so long to bring back home jerseys for the game that we now throwing it away for marketing ploy. Perhaps it is time to evaluate entrie athletic dept.
I like them. Nice and simple. I like the enlarged numbers and the stripes on the undergear. I think they are going to look nice on the field. Hope the Bruins don't focus on the look, but focus on the game. Keep'em.
The white helmet looks clean!
This team would look just darling in Juicy Couture Hoodies
The idiot that thought of these uniforms needs to get fired. These white uniforms essentially says UCLA is going to lose - waving the white flag while doing it.
I disliked em b4 the game now i freakin hate em. burn these unis
We look like a cross between Berkeley and UofA.
Whoever made the decision to wear these unis should be fired.
Over it.
FIRE RICK NEUHEISEL RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wanted him to be our coach when he was hired; though I wanted Leach more, but knew that was out of the question. I wanted Rick to realize his dream of taking his Bruins to the Rosebowl. It is plainly obvious that is not going to happen with Rick in charge.
Fire Rick Now. That was absolutely pathetic!
Penn State
"it makes them appear immature and pathetic."
Where there's smoke, there's fire.
Where do you come off jumping on my shit for the things I wrote? I don't have silly nicknames for Rick, Dan and people who have different opinions than me. I'm stating how I feel. Petros said during the broadcast that Rick told him that the players may have checked out when Utah lost and they knew they were in the championship game. Huh? The players checked out? Really? My opinion is that falls on the coach. I want Rick fired.
Wanting Rick fired after tonight's performance is not immature nor pathetic. This is the time when it needs to be done. You apparently don't get it; one of many things you've missed on recently.
Gotta agree, my first thought was... we're trying to emulate Penn State?? Nice move! Ditch the new uni's!!
Wave the white Flag and retreat like the French Army. Who selected these jerseys??
It's not that bad, Oregon wears what appears to be scales on their shoulders and Stanford runs around like a cluster of demented wild cherries. Perhaps that is what they were aiming for, "Dress for Success". Wonder if they glow in the dark? Well we still have to see the new "Home" uniform design. Talk about redirecting the debate, we can set aside our competitive ardor while exercising our keen sense of fashion. Go Bruins!
I agree with those that say burn 'em. And, yeah they looked like an alternate version of some Arizona uniform.
Let's hope we never see these uniforms again.
The white uniforms looked like they should have been at a wedding! I am for tradition...Powder blue jerseys with gold pants. It was bad enough to be "beaten to a pulp" but to look like we had taken a bath in clorox was also horrific.
Sure the Surrender White uniforms looked good, but they are NOT UCLA and we should not accept such gimmicks. We are the Bruins and we have a worthy tradition. We should be proud to uphold our traditions and not resort to silly distractions in search of some other identity or to hide from our past. We have nothing to hide from. We are not Oregon – let them play silly games without any sense of identity.
When Guerrero let Adidas put those pathetic “CrapTech” uniforms on our players, I thought it could not get any worse and then he rolls out the Surrender White uniforms. What will he do next to defile UCLA?
