Stanford Will Wear Nike Pro Combat Uniforms for Notre Dame Game

PrintStanford is one of nine teams that will sport Nike Pro Combat System of Dress uniforms during the 2011 college football season, Nike announced today. The Cardinal will wear the uniforms during its game against Notre Dame on November 27.
Images of the uniforms won't be released until next month, but they could look something like the uniforms that Oregon wore against Auburn in last season's BCS National Championship Game. Prepare for Andrew Luck to look even faster than usual, assuming he shaves his hobo beard by then.
From Nike's official release:
"The fully integrated uniform system, which the University of Oregon debuted during the 2010 BCS National Championship Game, incorporates the latest in performance innovation and design from the world's most renowned athletic outfitter. The redesigned base layer facilitates the uniform's overall innovation, delivering the ultimate in lightweight protection for maximum speed. Strategically placed seams, pads and cooling zones also help minimize distraction and optimize protective coverage."
Redesigned base layer? Strategically placed seams? Minimized distraction? Notre Dame didn't have much of a chance against Stanford before this news broke, but now they'll be lucky to avoid a blowout of epic proportions.
The other teams that will wear Nike Pro Combat uniforms this year include Army, Boise State, Georgia, LSU, Michigan State, Navy, Ohio State, and Oregon.

Hobo beard?!
You know, I played pickup basketball with Andrew earlier this month, and I thought the beard was sexy. It gave him this threatening mountain-man look that I’m sure would have had the Oregon duckies quaking in their hi-liter boots last season.
To be honest, though, I think most of the Pro Combat uniforms from last year were a bust. BSU’s in the VT game looked like they were pulled out of the dumpster and Ohio State’s looked bizarre, not throwback. I hope they just use the awesome black style from this past season: http://tinyurl.com/3ookzhf

Just say "No" to black uniforms
While not a consensus, I’d say a majority of alums and fans disliked those black uniforms. They looked blue under the lights (which the ND game will probably be). If the Irish wear their gold pants, the game will look like a Colorado scrimmage.
I understand some recruits “like” black unis, but if they have to wear black, wear them for a game like SJSU or Washington, not Notre Dame, UCLA, or Cal. Stanford’s difficult to design for as it is because it doesn’t have a mascot, it’s logo is a letter, and the alums will cry foul at any color combination other than Cardinal and White. More likely the uniform will either be a generic design with only engineering changes, or it’ll be like FSU’s Pro Combat uniform.
