I know I'm in the minority but I don't like the black uniforms.Yep, Red, I felt that same way. I liked the uniforms and love the red helmets but those grey numbers were really hard to see at a distance. I felt sorry for the announcers (TV and Stadium) trying to read them but maybe it was better in person than on TV. I think if they went with a much lighter shade of grey for the numbers it would have made it easier to read them.
I am not a memorabilia guy but I do have a mini redbird helmet that I keep in my workspace. I hope they add a version of the red helmet for sale. I would buy one of those to balance out my admittedly meager collection of Redbird stuff. I will not even bring up a black jersey, they are still selling the #16 Kolbe jersey on the Alamo online store!
I don't know what the plan is but I can see those matte red helmets with the all-white road uniforms. I don't think the red on the helmets matches the home red uniforms but on the road, it would be a nice change from the all-white look. My fashion recommendation for today!
