AMEN.
Jeezuz H. C., can't this A.D. get ANYTHING right? How can the 1970 and '71 uniforms be such a mystery, such a challenge, to replicate?
If you're going to do this, don't you want to DO IT FREAKIN' RIGHT??? Lose the stupid the black "design elements" and make those stripes down the legs be the same width as existed then. The block S should be a replica of the RALSTON ROSEBOWL helmets. I guess that, 50 years later, it's just too much to ask. For many of us, these were formative years, as in the best of our lives. Almost sacred. Some of us still put premium on authenticity. I guess not enough GAF today. Thing is, I still do. Hope the squad "executes" in such a way as to honor the uniform. It's the least they can do.
The pant stripe is definitely too wide but I don't see any black design elements in the throwback unis for Saturday. The rest of it looks pretty close to the originals. Here's hoping the team finds a way to surprise everyone and pull off a big upset like the 70s Rose Bowls.
Cheers,
Pete F.
