Clueless UCLA Athletics Picks the Worst Time to Get Creative with Uniforms

This is ridiculous and absurd.

that we’re replacing our classic helmets with all black ones, and foregoing the UCLA script for a silhouette of the Morgan Center on the side.

And I don’t see any indication that USC is wearing anything beyond their normal home unis. It just appears to be a great opportunity for further national ridicule.

Also, random note.
There was absolutely zero hype of the UCLA gloves that debuted last week, by media or on tv.

But for the $C game?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Not the best timing…

Then again, we all know how that turned out.

I don’t love our current shade of blue, in fact it hurts my eyes a little bit, but I still can’t believe that we’re not fielding blue against their red this week.

Maybe the Morgan Center doesn’t want to compare and contrast too closely now that – dare I say it – USC’s uniform colors have somehow gotten less jarring on the eyes than ours.

I just got a little misty thinking about the old 90’s blue. Those were some beautiful uniforms.

when nobody outside of Southern California will be watching!?!? Let’s also not forget that the reason nobody will be watching is because Dan has let our program sink so low that the UCLA-SC game is no longer nationally relevant.

is if they have a “Guerrero and Neuheisel Farewell Tour” patch on them.

Our tradition was to have some of the most striking, memorable, respected uniforms on the field.

This AD has shit on that tradition with the progression that lost our distinctive stripes.

Want to do something different? Go back to those great uni’s of the past AND STAY THERE.

Of course, I can understand how new uniforms is the order of the day. Fiddle on Nero.

Sad, misguided, swing and a whiff effort by Grrr-error.
This is the freekin RIVALRY game you dimwhit. Geeez, just when it looked like it couldn’t get any worse…thought I was depressed before.
Danny, Danny, Danny…go f yourself fella.

Is the Morgan Center doesn’t further embarass us =/ such a side thing this should be an awesome change but once again Guerrerror makes it worst

as the guillotine falls?

for someone to say something haha

I had the displeasure of listening to their interview with Terry Donahue.

The first several questions were about the general state of football and the rest of the programs in the Pac-12. Then, ultimately, the host asked about the UCLA-U$C game. They asked what he thought UCLA’s best strategy would be against the heavily favored trogans.

One would expect a former UCLA head coach to prop up his team and explain certain elements they should focus on. Instead, all he talked about was that UCLA’s only chance was to HOPE that U$C is riding too high off their win against Oregon. He made it abundantly clear that his Bruins stand no chance and can only idly HOPE for a miracle.

I DEPLORE THAT MENTALITY! If the next UCLA head coach has ever heard of the name Terry Donahue, I’m just going to F-ing lose it.

but $C was talking about doing a ‘black out’ game against UCLA…so guess what happened?
The Trogans got all up in arms about it, demanding they play in the traditional “ketchup & mustard”.

Now were going and basically doing the same thing….clueless. Morgan center is Fucking Clueless

Remember this is a family blog. Easy with the language.

Of a customer-hostile mentality practiced by the MC. They Make their decisions in their safe little coccoon. A few phone calls could have told them what the any of us fans and alumni thought of this idea. But, no. They really don’t give a shit what fans think. Not just customer-agnostic. Downright customer-hostile.

Just use them for the Bowl game…if we make it to a bowl game. It’s a good way to show that we are headed towards a new age and blah blah blah. I think that would be a good time to show some change for UCLA hint*

Please leave. Please. I beg you.

There isn’t one AD in the Pac 12 who isn’t mocking you right now.

I’m so F’n tired of Mr. Potato head! His blog is a joke, our program is a joke, they one true beautiful thing is our classic blue n gold unis and he craps on it! This isn’t Eugene you dumb ass!

F-ing lame idea.

Say what we will about $C (I hate them as much as you all do), but at least so far they’ve had the huevos to stand up to Nike and say we want to keep our traditional uniforms.

What’s next? We give in and ditch our traditional basketball uniforms? Lord help us.

Worst unis ever: anything Oregon.

Most classic college football tradition: UCLA-USC dual home unis on rivalry day.

Most clueless, desperate, crackpot idea: tighty-whitey unis versus SUC!

We are NOT Stanford, Navy, Air Force or Georgia Tech.

What’s next Donut Dan? Black on Black at home?

You want to experiment with styles? Fine. But not our colors, you moron!

We are the one and only powderkeg blue and gold, the colors of Red Sanders and UCLA, the best fricking football uniforms, bar none, in the history of the game, and you surrender them on rivalry day!

We will not forget or forgive. Regime change, people!

That’s fun…….

I guess O_O

I can only add that I agree with much that has been said here. UCLA has proud traditions that mean something. I find this mucking with the uniforms thing to be disrespectful of all of us the love UCLA. I bleed blue and gold and this is one thing I cannot abide.
