I know there was a thread made a little while ago about this, but hear me out.....

Back on November 16th, our equipment guys tweeted this:
Looks like a big shipment of something important from our friends at Nike.

Now that we're almost to bowl season, are we going to cave and have bowl specific uni's? And if so, what are they going to look like? Let the speculation begin.....

My guess is these boxes are extra clothes for travel. Since the team goes to Montgomery days in advance, I'm sure they will need some extra App State gear.

Not sure they'd order uniforms that early not knowing which color we would wear. Even if it was pre-determined which conference wore which color, we still had no idea which bowl we would be in..I'm sure some require home and some require away.

Personally, I'd love to see us keep it simple. Assuming we wear white (Since we wore black last year) I'd like white jersey, black pants, black helmet with a white block A(Probably should let this part of the dream go away)

Other than possible inventory to be taken for each player in travel, which is entirely possible, I read the "our day just got busier" as potential for printing names on the jerseys.

As far as the "not ordering based on color," I'm not super clear on our agreement with Nike. If they want us to wear it, do we absolutely have to? And if they're specially designed, the home/away thing may mean nothing since many schools do this in bowl season.

Send them a tweet and ask. They're good peeps.

Zoom in on that pic, all those different app helmet combos and 1 Oregon set up

They collect college helmets

A lot of equipment guys trade gear with other equipment guys.
