| MBB/WBB Alabama Doing Another Uniform Change vs LSU this Saturday


I bet there is a push to do it for the football program, but what really could they do other than white helmets? I don't know. I feel like Alabama Football doesn't really need to showcase stuff like this because the program markets itself. Whereas the basketball program doesn't necessarily have to either, but it's a good move to capitalize on new program success and seems fun for the players.

Hope I'm making sense.
 
Football has won 18 national championships. Basketball has won ______ ? Football doesn't need uniform gimmicks to make a statement.
Beside the white helmet, because that was done with Coach Bryant. I think it was the houndstooth pattern. One thing I do like is no retired jersey. If Bama retired any jersey we would have to start using the alphabet.

A great way to advertise to the nation how many great players our program has produced would be to gradually replace retired numbers with Roman numerals for newer players! Offering recruits/players a better chance at immortality in addition to NIL money could be a cool recruiting strategy, haha.

I really want this 👇, but with colors reversed: white helmet, crimson stripe, crimson script A. And by removing the numbers from the helmet, add numbers back to the shoulders.

Isn't that found around Denny Chimes? And the Walk of Champions?
 
Listen, I’ve never really wanted a change in our unis. Like everyone here, our simplicity and lack of alterations over our history is a part of our football identity. It speaks legacy, loud and clear. So I respect that. But … maybe for hot, day games or a novel change of pace, I’d love to see the white helmet with crimson script A paired with the crimson jersey. I DON’T want the white helmet with white jersey, though. That would be too bland, like Stanford’s away unis. 👎

Oh maybe! My bad. But to see Roman numerals on jerseys on the field is more of what I’m saying. Broadcast to TV viewers, not just preaching to the converted or to visiting fans at home games.
 
I think we should do Silver helmets with the elephant A logo and silver pants. Also start putting houndstooth hat stickers on the back of helmets for good plays - grade outs. Also, the band should do the script A before the game and have a famous Alabama Alum jog out to be the Top of the A. Instead of saying "Roll Tide " to other Bama fans as we see them ... fan one should shout "B" "A" and fan two should respond... "M" "A". One last thing, Deboer should grow out his beard and dye it black.

That’s funny! I do hope all that was said tongue in cheek. 🙂
 
I think a cool paint job with houndstooth hidden in it could be cool, or something as small as a white number with ivory white houndstooth pattern within the number would be cool and subtle. Overall I'm fine with our uniforms.

How does the script A make it cooler? They have plenty of fans, ice blowers, water, Gatorade and shade covers on the sideline to keep them cool. Don’t change what doesn’t need changing.
