ARKANSAS
Video: Arkansas wearing alternate uniforms, helmets against Florida
The Arkansas Razorbacks will wear their alternate all-anthracite uniforms against Florida Saturday.
The program released a Twitter video about the uniforms as well as a photo database on its website.
Be sure and check the team’s website for more photos of the anthracite uniforms.
Arkansas and Florida will kickoff Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET at Razorback Stadium.
I absolutely despise these uniforms, because no respectable SEC team should want to look like Oregon. Quit trying to be trendy. Just be “you.” After all, your fans and TV viewers will appreciate being able to discern players’ numbers, and your squad won’t look like it’s fleeing a funeral when it runs onto the field.
Why do people hate change? It’s not like it’s their permanent uniform. Just because Bama has the most basic uniform in the SEC doesn’t mean every other school has too. There is nothing wrong with having an alternative uniform. I mean. If you think they are wearing black tuxedos playing football then yeah I guess people will think they are leaving a funeral. I think you may need your eyes checked. Mate.
Why do ppl hate tradition? What’s wrong with wearing your school colors or a helmet that is as unique as any in college football?
What’s the point in doing something bc everyone else has or bc corporate America says to? Have some pride. Alabama does and that’s the only thing I respect them for. At least they aren’t a sellout.
We dont hate change but Arkansdas colors are cardinal and white PERIOD!! there is no other color in the spectrum that Arkansas should be wearing. Georgia and Missouri can wear black (or shades thereof) because Black is in their schools colors but not Arkansas and not Alabama either. Change just to make a few more dollars for a sporting goods company is not reason enough at all.
I don’t mind these uniforms. I just think it would work better if we’d skip the gray and just go straight for the black and red combo. No one asked me though.
Why? black is NOT an Arkansas color, the team colors are Cardinal and White period.
I’m aware of the colors; I do go to school there after all. My point was, if they insist on wearing alternate uniforms, I think black would be cooler than gray.
I know Nike is the straw that stirs the drink, but I’m kinda tired of all these special uniforms designed to l̶o̶o̶k̶ ̶a̶w̶e̶s̶o̶m̶e̶ sell jerseys.
Amen brother, after all who would be next on the black uniform parade, Florida?
I don’t mind them… I don’t want flashy craptastic uniforms, but there is something to be said for updating an outdated look.
I think this is a FANTASTIC idea. Until we can stop the run I’d rather us look like anything but my normal Hogs! While we’re at it, I wish Nike made tutus for our offensive line.
Oh man. These are sweet!
These Uniforms are raw asf. You guys are haters. But i do understand how people dont like them because black is not one of Ark colors.
If we dont wear our colors then why have them at all?
Oh so we don’t have black and red in our uniforms ever? Lol. It’s not like we are wearing blue uniforms.
Very cool. I especially like the helmet.
People have mixed feelings about the anthracite uniforms here in Fayetteville but I absolutely love them
If teams are going to wear whatever the uniform company provides why have team colors at all?
Don’t be ignorant.
Maybe it has nothing to do with what any fans think but actually more to do with what the players think. Maybe they really like them. Look good feel goo play good right? Also it maybe for impressing the large number of recruits we have coming to campus this week.
I can never get enough articles about football fashion!
Now – on to the recipes – which will it be?
Pork loins or Gator bites?
Hate them
Love em, I’m sure the kids love em, get over it and get on board.
Clearly, people are upset about the alternate uniform. Honestly, is it that big of a deal to y’all for the team to get excited about something? Sure, cardinal red and white is tradition, but this is for the players, not the fan base. Recruits love this stuff and eat it up when they are there for visits. That’s why we have one of the best facilities in the country. It’s not for the fans, it’s for the players/recruits. You may hate it or love it, but honestly, the program doesn’t care. It’s for them and it gets them pumped to play. The uniforms are not necessarily my favorite, but I’m still going to watch the game and cheer on my Razorbacks! Just be happy and move on. There’s no sense in spreading negativity in this world, especially when it relates to a uniform change, in which you have no say in. Win, lose, or tie, I’m a Razorback till I die! WPS!
I agree LSH…I’m not big on the anthracite (charcoal) uniforms, but these uniforms aren’t for me, they are for the people wearing them – the student-athlete. I’m not being recruited by the coaches, so my opinion is like everyone else’s in the stands…but what today’s student-athletes think is cool is very important!! If the UofA asked me I’d say stick to the Razorback cardinal/white, but they aren’t asking for my opinion. I was in the stands when we wore them against ULM & lost in Little Rock, so my only issue is a bad memory…ROFL!! GO HOGS!!
Haha I understand that! Although the uniform in no way reflects how the players play the game, but I do agree about the track record with them. We’ve worn the anthracite color three times (2012 vs Kentucky and Ole Miss, 2013 vs Miss State) which we won the first and lost the other two. I’m still pumped though! WPS!
Yeah we lost the other 2 because of John L smith and dark Prescott lol
It’s just another recruiting tool that schools use these days. Nike, Under Armor and Adidas all send their client schools packages before the season starts and they choose from the packages. I’m sure Bama has received their share of “bling” from Nike but it’ll never see the light of day as long as Saban is there. Don’t get me wrong, I like tradition but the flashy alternate uniforms are just part of the game now.
