Prior to the 1968 season we wore white helmets with a single red stripe. Looked good with all red (no shoulder stripes) jerseys. As someone said earlier, it the jerseys are too busy it doesn't work as well.
The shoulder stripes on our jersey are our trademark.....kinda like it is with UCLA. Our shoulder stripes aren't going anywhere. Just look at our end zone paint: Best looking end zone paint in Amercia, and it incorporates our trademark shoulder stripes. Get used to it.

Every time I see this thread bumped I get pumped because I think maybe there is some news about the game... Nope... Uniform color debate... *sigh*
