TitanTiger 20,482 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I prefer black cleats with white socks. Like this: But it didn't really bother me that much. The helmet, jersey and pants are our traditional look. I'll live with the cleats and socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DivisionN 102 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 To me, it had the same effect as the black socks and black shoes of the Tubberville era. Clunky looking, strange. Either make the socks white or the shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homersapien 11,374 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Well, I suppose one man's "flair" is another man's cheap and gaudy. I reckon orange jerseys can't be far behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taiyushka 0 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I was at the game and my friend and I couldn't stop talking about how much we liked the shoes and socks. I know orange isn't Auburn's primary color, but I still like it being emphasized. The black shoes, white socks of yesteryear look like something a middle aged, white dad would wear. Nothing against middle aged, white dads...just don't want our players resembling them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 9,366 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Loved the Orange socks and Shoes. Absolutely LOVE IT. Agreed. Seeing them in motion as opposed to a picture made me enjoy them more. I did like them beforehand, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubearcat 2,137 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I liked the small changes. The metallic emblem and stripes on the helmet along with the socks were noticeable but the uniform still maintained it's classic feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logan adams 333 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 All the tweaks were awesome. The changes made were the best possible changes. Looking forward to seeing the away kits and the blue socks and shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not going to happen. Well, then orange pants? Hell, if those shoes and socks are considered acceptable, why not? We've got the best looking uniforms in the game and look what they are doing to it. It's like painting flames or a firebird emblem on a Ferrari.

looney 794 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 From section 314, everything looked good. Then again, it was a long way away from the action. I didn't get to see our replay tonight unfortunately. I still feel like I only watched about 10 minutes of the game. What's our incentive for buying tickets again?

autig90 67 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I actually liked the changes. It gave the unis a bit of pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoAU 1,600 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I agree, I thought the sock, shoes and metallic stripes looked pretty sharp - and I'm almost always in the "don't screw with the uniform crowd". I thought it was a little bit of modernization while keping the classic look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBAU83 212 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 That's It! JJ threw 3 (almost 5) interceptions because we changed to orange shoes/socks unlike last year in the Arky game when he was wearing black shoes. I stated earlier that I liked the added flair/pop of the orange shoes/socks. And I agree that the basics of the uniform remain the same, traditional look (not a fan of orange jerseys) and hope we stay with the overall traditional and minor touches (like shoes/socks). But more important than us fans, is what do the players think about it. From the first video posts, I think they like having a little pop added.

Good design is about the details. IMO, those shoes and socks violate the principles of good design in a large way. That detracts from the overall look of the uniform.

Given your absolute hatred of Orange, I'm wondering if you are actually an Auburn fan at all. I find it extremely odd that any fan of a school would outright detest one of their colors. In case you didn't know, IMO means "in my opinion". And I don't "hate" or "detest" the color orange. :-\ And I will compare my Auburn pedigree to anyone's. I was a fan starting from the time I knew what Auburn was (admittedly I was mimicking my father). I enrolled at Auburn in the summer of '69 and earned a my BS in '73 and a MS in '75. Orange works great as a trim with navy and white. But it's just not a color you want to emphasize if you are going for a classy look. And in my experience, that's the way the orange was mostly used - not only for our unis but for fan gear. "Orange outs" and the associated orange T shirts and hats suck IMO. And that view of the color orange happens to be a generally accepted "fact" - even if subjective - by people with a sense of taste, which is exactly why you might wear a tie with orange stripes but you would never wear an orange suit. (Unless you are a clown.) I am Auburn through and through. I also happen to be blessed with a good sense of taste and design, which is exactly why I find the orange shoes and socks gaudy.
