The Uniform: Though the off-season fears of fans
voting for the worst song possible came true, the other potential
change that had some up in arms in the spring didn’t come to fruition.
The “experimental” larger helmet stickers that were worn at A-Day
turned out to be just that — experiments — as the powers that be
decided to stick with the standard sticker size. Definitely the right call.
But there was one major uniform change: the team has gone from
wearing black shoes and black socks back to wearing the classic white
shoes and white socks. The change was actually made for the Outback
Bowl, and carried over to the 2010 season.
What’s interesting, at least for me personally, is that I didn’t
really like the white socks and white shoes combo when watching the
Outback Bowl on TV, but it looked just gorgeous against Arkansas State
in person.
The difference? Call me crazy, but I think the whole set is
make-or-break over one, minor, little tweak: the trim on the white
shoes was changed from orange to dark blue.
Compare white shoes with orange trim and white shoes with dark blue trim. See? And just for fun, compare both to 2009′s black shoes and black socks.
And, hey, while we’re at it, compare A-Day’s white shoes with black spat to Saturday’s white shoes with white spat.
The verdict? At the end of the day, I think Saturday’s version looks the best out of all of them, which is a very good thing.
