My favorite uniforms are the ones where we get them stolen, borrow the other teams' jerseys the night of, and write our players names on the back.

For sure. As we all can attest, a degree in Sports Management or Human Development or any of the other popular majors that athletics "encourages" their players to focus on have the same earning potential as engineering, law, medical or architecture.

Full disclosure, I'm a huge soccer fan and my taste in athletic uniforms tends to skew that way. So most football fans would say that my favorite designs are generally pretty disjointed anyways. I'm talking poor symmetry and all that. So. Different strokes.

Unfortunately work is blocking your image

It's Kam Chancellor wearing the Maroon w/ Orange pits uniform

I think I honestly just disagree with your statement

curious

Boring is the word I'd use in this case. Ours are boring too, but at least there's something to break up the monotony there.

You can call UVA's uniform boring. I certainly don't think they're particularly exciting. And I agree that ours aren't very exciting either. So let's go ahead and say that both are boring. You seem to like the stripes because they "break up the monotony" and that is fine. I don't like the stripes because I don't think they look congruent with the rest of the uniform. If I had to choose between a boring uniform with shoulder stripes (our current ones) and a boring uniform without them (what UVA unveiled) I'd prefer the latter. I think it's a cleaner, less disjointed look. That is what I mean by sharp. Sharp, obviously, is a relative term. Do I think UVA's uniforms are sharp in general? No, not really. Do I think they are sharper than ours? Yes. Unfortunately. We can mince words all we want but I just don't like the shoulder stripes. I would prefer a boring uniform without stripes to what we have now but my Hope is to get something even better that incorporates orange into a mostly maroon unit. Without disjointed, in-congruent features.
