PrintThe ACC Football Kickoff gave us a glimpse into what the new BC Under Armour jerseys will look like. I give you, the home jersey:

Once you avert your eyes away from the hideous Chicago maroon and Burnt orange that takes up 2/3 of the picture, you'll notice Mark sporting the new UA home jersey. Noticeable changes:
- An imperceptible change in shade of maroon from Reebok Red to UA Maroon (?)
- Gold UA logo replaces white Rbk logo
- More stylized numbers (note size of space in the "9" compared to last year's unis)
- And probably the biggest change, text of the nameplates goes from white to gold.
You can tell that these are straight off the presses considering they are missing the NCAA-ACC logo on the top left.
I don't hate the small changes to the uniform, but I don't think I love them either. At least UA went the minimalist route with BC and we avoided jerseys that look like this, this or this.
So I guess I'm indifferent towards the slight UA changes, how about you?

One simple request:
Can we please please please wear the gold pants on the road? The all-white unis look hideous.
Really?
I can’t stand the white jersey, gold pants look. Plus I think BC has a terrible record when sporting that uniform combination. Much prefer the all-whites.

FWIW I’ve liked the all white look. Maybe for the same reason I like these jerseys. They’re clean and simple.

I’m pretty sure we are 0-2 when wearing white jerseys, gold pants:
2007 game at Maryland
2009 Emerald Bowl vs. USC
9-5 wearing white jerseys, white pants. Hope the team decides to get rid of the white-gold combo.

I’ve liked the jerseys since we dumped the angry eagle head on the chest. 2007 to present have been good.
What I wish for is the option to buy replica jerseys with sewn on numbers instead of screen printed. $65 for screen printed is steep.

Doesn't look good for sewn on numbers
This is a shot of the Herzlich UA replica jersey in the bookstore:

Come to think of it, I don’t think any of the Rbk replica jerseys had the NCAA-ACC logos on them. Must be reserved for the authentics.

Though the BC Rbk hockey replicas had the Hockey East patch sewn on them, so I have no idea.

What, no Number 12 jersey?
Is there a mannequin in the bookstore with Matt Ryan’s replica? Where’s the Matty Ice love?
Totally...
The angry eagle face on the collar was terrible. The actual logo is much better.
I’m also a fan of the white on white and would even prefer to go back to white on maroon before white on gold. Overall they look good. Simple is always better, unless your going with Oregon’s philosophy… which were pretty awesome last year.

Yeah, the Angry Chicken front and center was terrible.
What would BC’s uniforms look like if they got the Oregon treatment? Replace the numbers on the shoulders and the profile Eagle logo on the sides with Eagle feathers?

why do they keep tweaking it?
Hate the all whites – they look like practice uniforms, or like we’re imitating Penn St. Best away uni’s are white jersey on maroon pants with gold stripe. White on gold is ok too.
I really hope the “new” maroon is actually maroon and far from Reebok Red – that was awful. I don’t understand why it is so hard for them to nail down a color. I challenge anyone to try and find two maroon items in the BC Bookstore that actually match.
Michigan State got fed up with all the different shades of green for all their different teams, so for this season, they sat down with Nike and ironed out what the definitive shade of green for MSU would be for everything going forward. BC should do this too.

Really...
I don’t care what the uniforms look like if they can finally win the big game.
gold jersey
i wouldnt mind BC becoming a little flashier. I personally like So.Carolina’s and Maryland’s jerseys. Maybe an all black jersey with gold and maroon incorporated in it. Maybe, a gold jersey with maroon pants but id like to see gold incorporated more often and I dont like BC’s white and red socks. Just putting it out there
all white
We look way bigger and more intimidating wearing the all whites. I don’t know if you’ve ever been live to a road game, but it makes us look monstrous. Also our record wearing the gold pants is bad. if youre as superstitious as me then all white all the time
gold
there will be a gold jersey. they had a picture of it at the flynn fund locker room tour before the spring game
Don't be so snotty about it
Seeing Mark Herzlich in any jersey is a good thing.
