Quotable: "They are a knock-off of USC. When I see it on film, I think 'What are we doing playing USC?' " — a Big 12 North offensive player, on Iowa State's uniforms

Quotable II: "Green and gold don't go together." — a Big 12 North offensive player, on Baylor's uniforms

I think this may be the strongest disconnect I have with the players of today. Sure, Tech's uniforms are snazzy. I give them that but comparing them to a classic look like UT, A&M or especially Nebraska's is ridiculous. Piping, interchangable pants and logos will come and go. But UT and NU have timeless unis.
