Nike Pro Combat System of Dress to Be Unveiled at 7am Pacific
As announced several weeks ago, Nike is rolling out their brand new uniforms for this season-- the "Pro Combat System of Dress" -- this morning at a press conference in New York City.
From Nike's release:
Ten of the top college football programs have been selected to wear uniquely designed Nike uniforms for at least one game during the 2010 season the company announced today.
The University of Alabama, Boise State University, University of Florida, University of Miami (FL), The Ohio State University, Oregon State University, University of Pittsburgh, Texas Christian University, Virginia Tech and West Virginia University will wear the innovative designs.
The dates of those games will be announced at the unveiling of the uniforms Sept. 1 in New York, streaming live on Facebook on September 1, 2010, at 7:00 AM Pacific.
You can follow the press conference live by heading to Nike Football's Facebook page.
UPDATE: Here is a photo from OSU Football's Twitter feed:
Oregon St. is scheduled to wear their retro-inspired look that harkens back to the 1967 Giant Killers in the Civil War. (Other games may be selected later.)
TCU is scheduled to wear their this weekend for the Oregon St. game.
You can see more of the new uniform at the OSU Photo Gallery.

Those uni's were pretty sick.
Any idea where I can get a pair of those gloves?

Count on it.
This, after all, is about marketing.
Don’t count on great sales unless we wear them in a major game, like USC or Oregon, and win big.
Ugh is my summation. I was hoping/expecting more, though it is obviously a throwback inspired look.

Go Beavs!
Throwbacks are fun, but these don't look that amazing...
Ohio State’s are really sick.

And the designated game for Oregon St.,
in the throwbacks to the Giant Killers of the late 60’s, will be the Civil War.
Other games may be added.

I wonder if they'll want
Two teams playing each other in them. For some reason I doubt it.
WTY's ERA+ = 147 : - ) -- Kevin Frandsen > Brandon Wood??????

Actually, Boise St. and Virginia Tech
are both scheduled to wear them when they play each other on Labor Day evening.
Oregon is a Nike regular, but is not one of the teams in this particular promotion. So the Civil War will pit Nike uniforms, but from different systems.

"Pro Combat System of Dress"
Sounds a little funny to me.
Pro Combat Uni
I don’t like the white pants. I would much rather see black or orange. I would prefer to see all orange and black combo’s. White seems whimpy. I like the flat black on the helmut-but, would rather see the angry Beaver on the sides.
They always say...
Black uni’s make you look fast, white makes you look big.
Maybe this is the best of both worlds?
