Blue Collar Unplugged: Alabama's New Uniform a Smash Hit?
Transcript
00:00 I really love it. I don't know what to think about the gray a little bit. I think the gray
00:03 trimming is kind of so-so. It's interesting. I like it. You like it? Everything about it
00:09 everything about it is awesome. I love the crimson tie on the front. The red number with
00:14 the white trimming is excellent. It's just an overall great uniform with just a little bit of
00:20 a throwback touch there. I'm a fan. Yeah, I think some people like there were rumors spreading. It
00:27 was getting out but not super fast that there would be throwback jerseys of some sort. People
00:34 didn't know whether it was going to be a true recreation of a throwback jersey. I think of the
00:40 one that they wore in the 70s where it had the stripes on the collar. That's one I wondered if
00:47 they were going to try to do or maybe the ones that Petway and them wore in the early 2000s.
00:55 But the fact that they did the throwback elements of a new jersey is really cool. Obviously,
01:03 the block is awesome. I wondered if they were going to use the block and put it in the middle
01:08 of the chest like Arkansas has done with one of their throwback logos or throwback jerseys. I'm
01:14 glad that they did it the way that they did though. Putting the block on the shorts and then
01:19 actually putting Crimson Tide across the front of the jersey looks just like a mock-up that our
01:27 dear friend Brian Moss made. What was that? A couple years ago? A couple years ago. Yeah,
01:32 he made one that looked almost just like this. It looks awesome. I'm trying to think. Do y'all
01:40 think Alabama should use... Obviously, we think Alabama should use the block anymore. I think it's
01:45 Alabama's best logo. I think it's cool that the basketball team was kind of the first of the
01:52 programs to bring it back, so to speak. Nate Oates and the coaching staff started wearing jackets
01:59 with it on it a couple years ago. Since then, now Coach DeBoer and the football program is
02:05 using it a little bit.
