Sure dont wanna look like Nebraska with white headgear....might start playing like em

Crimson pants...no reason

 

[RollllTide!]

Why change uniforms. It is not who we are. We just need to play ball and kick some ass. Allbarn this year is going to play lights out. What have they got to loose. I always hate this kind of lop sided season. They don't have the horsepower this year, but we need to pay attention to how hard MState will play. They can usually rough us up pretty good. Glad we have a cupcake before Allbarn.

Let me get a riot shield....standby....
Ok, now that I am safely covered.... I love Alabama's classic uniform look. I will say this though... I am old enough to remember the white helmets and still consider them to be ok in my book. I wouldn't want to see them become a staple or anything, but there are 2 reasons I would like to see us use them every now and then. 1.) For nostalgia. It is part of our history and everybody loves a novelty, throwback type of game. 2.) Over the years I have heard a lot of these young recruits and players make remarks about the Oregon, Okie State, Maryland, West Virginia, etc special uniforms. They all just mention how fun it is. If I were 18 years old, it might look fun to me too. This would give us a way to be in on that without really changing anything. That's just my .02..... now, I am covered....fire away.

I too remember the white helmets and my response is..............................NONONONONONONONONONO!

The thought crosses my mind ...

This past weekend Ohio State decided to go with black uniforms. They already have an iconic look now, so why the change? Did they get any benefit from those? I can't say one way or another.

I do know I saw more than a few remark they didn't recognize Ohio State on TV when they were flipping through channels because of their uniform choice.

If Bama were to go with white helmets for a day, how many people across the college football landscape would recognize "It's Bama?"

They have been doing a lot of this lately, maybe once a year for the past five years. They like going old school with the curly numbers, matte helmets, and these as well. Ohio State is just goof these days.

The last time they went black was in '15 according to what I read Saturday. It was in one of SBnations "Land Grant Holy Land" articles

Well I meant a lot of various differentiations in the last number of years, not just black.

 

[JoshB]

Yeah, I want to say OSU has done at least one game with an alternate uni for like 5-6 years now.

 

[TerryP]

@BamaFan334, Everyone of them turns my stomach. @BamaFan334,

I thought you were talking about the black, specifically. Only the last image you posted looks anything like OSU.

I recall when Coach Perkins brought them back. As a 12-13 year old, I didn't like them then and I wouldn't want to do it now, even as a one time thing.

 

[rick4bama]

I remember when Perkins brought them back. The game was with Penn. St and I just knew I was going to see Bama in the white helmet! Then just before going to Penn. St to play the game, Coach said we will be wearing our Crimson helmet, I don't want any mistake in our white with Penn. St helmet. I do remember seeing them in the white helmet later that year!

I dread this discussion every year. I think it was David Allen Coe that said it best, "That shit would hairlip the pope."
