The Citadel with retro uniforms this year

[CID1990]

I really don't like all the uniform changes we keep going through, and I really wish we would have stuck with our uniforms from the 1980s-90s.

That said, this year's helmets are a throwback to the Bobby Ross days. If they would reverse the colors I'd like it a little more, but oh well.

Not sure yet if we'll see the Big Red jerseys this season or not.

Though I'm not a fan of blending the old helmet styles with modern uni's I like those.

They're gonna need better cleats...

Yes, very similar to "Furman" and "simple".

Not too bad. I think a Big Red uniform would be great. I'll be at a few games this year, hope to see some of y'all there.

Copying Furman's white hats, I see... :)

I'm with Mark - I'd like to see the red again. Didn't you guys roll those out a couple of years ago?

As for these, I like them. Much better than the throwback ASU ones IMO.

Yep we used them at homecoming. Hope we do so again. Would hate to see our poor mouth athletic department buy all those jerseys for just one or two uses.

Do you have any pictures of the red uni's?

Columbia called and wants their uni's back!

You're right, Columbia and The Citadel have shared similar uniforms before.

Check out the Playboy All America team in 1976 (defense):

This is the first time we have gone back to a uniform we use to have to the best of my knowledge. Brian Ruff was a monster.

You can see some pics from last year's games here:

Actually the Red doesnt look half bad. As for the new helments I like them , the Block " C " really stands out.

[CID1990]

The red has a strange effect with the light blue, like you'll have spots in your eyes if you look too long.

You would think that for a school so obsessed with tradition that they would pick a uniform and go with it. What gives?

There are many of us on our message board who are in favor of a simple look; one that doesn't change, like GSU or Michigan. I have no idea why the school feels that it is necessary to change every two years or so. We have been arguing for the block C or Spike's head on the helmets for some time, so maybe somebody heard us.
