A Couple Uniform Thoughts

WHITE.JERSEY

Several people have told me that USC’s new road jersey looks maroon and not cardinal. But is it really different than last year? Check below photo. Also, Nike says the collar is an homage to the past. Really? The late 1980’s. I’m as into uniforms and tradition as anyone and I can’t remember anyone ever talking fondly about the collar worn in the late 1990’s.

UPDATED: USC will wear the white jerseys against Alabama as the designated road team.

  1. So at USC we discuss uniform colors and at UCLA they are trying to answer why their DC protected a pedophile.

    • Have you seen Inside UCLA? It’s a ghost town. All the “bruin fans” are always here. I

    • If he did protect a pedophile or lied about knowing it during his interview process, he should be fired today. He isn’t qualified to coach at UCLA.

      • If it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a village to abuse one.

        • Catchy phrase, I see you are a Hillary fan.
          I’ll have to bow to your superior knowledge of villages and child abuse.

          • It actually came from the movie Spotlight which was another huge cover up of child abuse. Tells the story though that lots of people in these situations cover their eyes especially in the face of power. No fan of Hilary or Trump or UCLA trolls.

    • We’ve all known about the pedophile protector at ucla since the day he was hired. little gutty Trolls pretended it was no big deal and now they’re cornered. Bradley fits right in with Cheater Klemm, bruin misfits to the core.

  2. Like I said it’s merchandise to the manufacturer. I used to buy new shirts when the design changed. Now I’m to the point that wearing a jersey makes me look old and fat.
    So can we talk about USC Hawaiian style shirts?

  3. I’m good with the new uniforms. Unrelated: I’m wondering if Ncaa or conference rules would allow schools to scrimmage each other. Why couldn’t you replace spring games with a scrimmage between programs in close proximity of each other that don’t play during the regular season? You could pare it down to 8 minute quarters or otherwise tweak it so that it’s not a regular game. You could make money off of it and I bet coaches would appreciate getting work against the ones from another school. Recruits would be drawn to the scrimmage as well. I admit this idea comes from the fact that I’m addicted to college (USC) football and I’m strung out right now. However, the fact that I’m a desperate fiend doesn’t make this a bad idea.

      • Every school plays a full contact spring game anyway. I’m just saying replace that with a scrimmage with another team. Players want to play against different people after playing against teammates for extended periods. It also focuses you in a way constantly playing against teammates doesn’t.

        • The problme right now is the extended season – 10 games was the norm back in the 60’s now it’s 12 plus a CCG and finally the two bowl tier.

          You have little surplus in college ranks save for the very top programs (USC etc.) it’s fraught with potential for trouble.

          • Again, I’m just talking about replacing what you’re already doing with something else. High school teams and pro teams do it. I think you’re looking at it as a game, but a scrimmage is different.

            I understand you don’t like the idea, but I appreciate your input.

          • Well thank you for your kind words – BTW I’m watching the MLB ASG from San Diego AL 4 NL 2 end of the 6th.

            I so love when the ‘senior circuit’ tanks that’s because of that ‘naw yawk’ franchise that stole the land up in Elysian Park…..brooklyn….

  4. “I can’t remember anyone ever talking fondly about the collar worn in the late 1990’s”. I would hope so. Where are you hanging out that people would even begin a conversation comparing the uniform collars of different eras?

    I’ll add this one to the recent list including; “I told Sua Cravens he could sue for lack of support” and “I sometimes tell USC administrators they could pave the campus streets in gold if they wanted to”.

    I’ve always thought that this blog was a high-water mark for dumb ideas, but there is a growing pile of evidence pointing to the fact that you just walk around having wildly inane conversations with anyone who happens to be in front of you.

  5. Funny but I never remember any Trojans, not one, talking fondly about the helmet numbers (a SW fetish) worn by the ’62 national champs.

  6. The jersey modeled by Number 2 in the photo above looks Candy-A** to me. Very much so……
