Yes, that's faux stitching on the helmets to make them look like leather helmets. Pretty cool, isn't it? The Adidas gear is a good look. The uniforms are simple and would look good as a primary uniform. But the helmet is just awesome. It's the best throwback helmet we've seen this year in college football.

The 1939 Texas A&M team went 11-0 and ascended to No. 1 after beating Texas 20-0. The Aggies then beat Tulane in the Sugar Bowl 14-13 to cap the undefeated season and national championship.

This year's A&M team is far from undefeated. After three-straight losses, the Aggies have opened up the quarterback competition.

Way cool. A great look.

I concur....those are some awesome looking uni's.

 

[Hardkore]

I like it.

 

[planomateo]

LOL, having a cool uniform against La Monroe.

 

[riz]

Got no problem with that. Super cool.

I like the look! I'm normally a traditionalist and hate all of these retro looks, but that one is the best I have seen.

 

[JoshB]

Jerseys are good, helmets are horrible.

That helmet stitching decal looks pretty awesome. Glad they're pulling them out against a contender. Must be Homecoming or something (didn't read the article).

 

[BamaJay73]

Very cool, I like how they made the helmets look old school.

Really wish Bama would do this for a game... the 100th meeting against the Vols in a couple years would be perfect. It would be much better than that bullshit they tried a few years back with the houndstooth collared jerseys. Put stripes in the end zone (borrow LSU's goal posts [which are awesome]), sweaters on the cheer squad, the whole 9 yards.... Hell, bring back Alamite too!

Those are probably the best looking throw-backs I've seen.

 

[sean]

if they wanna go all "throwback", why don't they just wear what the guys wore back then? leather helmets and all. then we'll find out how tough they are.

 

[UAgrad93]

We already know that they aren't tough. I love the worn look of the paint and stitching on the helmets.

 

[rick4bama]

Do look good.

It didn't get much love when I posted this a while back, but here is a photoshop I did of a 1930's throwback.
