I actually liked them but do believe that an orange top the same design, player name on back, and the helmet with orange where the gray was in addition to the normal U colors would have been awesome. Obviously thrown together and not thought out.
The helmets were bad a**. So were the jerseys, I agree the pants could have matched. But I saw on twitter/FB/instagram multiple recruits loved those new uni's. Times change and kids today are in love with multiple looks. Anything we can do to gain interest in recruits I'm good with.
The uniforms were grey because that's the new theme on campus now.
Dariel and Ariz can back me up in this. The new student center and the old one has a grayish feel with orange and green accents. It matches those building's interior very well.
Not a fan of the new duds. Put the stripes back on the helmet, and bring back the classic orange mesh jerseys-- and put the Big East patches back on the front, right shoulder.
