I think I've finally put the perfect look for Syracuse on paper (in my eyes). Alot of fans want to return to the uniforms of the late 80s and 90s. I wouldnt mind that, but we can do better. Those were somewhat iconic for us, but it is a new era, and those were, while classy, pretty bland. I still favor a simple, classic look. I came up with a newer look, that is still very old school, with a little bit of this and that from every generation of Syracuse football. New coach alot of us beleive in, and a new set of uniforms for him to attach his hopefully positive legacy to.

Helmets- I kept basically our current helmets, only modifying the stripes to coincide with the striping throughout the set.

Jerseys- I went with plain bold block numbers, something i think can look pretty boss on a old school uniform. For the striping, i took the design from the '59 team, changing only to add orange. I also added a small "Syracuse" wordmark underneath the collar. It is the same script that was actually used on the old basketball jersey. It is subtle but I think works well. A little change of pace from seeing the block S everywhere. Not shown here, but names on back would be solid in same color as number.

Pants- I went to a classic striping pattern Ive always liked alot, but the Orange(men) have never used. Again, it is classy, simple, and different. Also placed a small block S on front hip area.

Socks- Contemplated adding matching striping as on the jerseys, but decided against it. Socks should be a player by player choice, as Syracuse hasn't worn long socks traditionally.

Cleats- White Cleats for the Orange. Helps the Orange and Navy stand out.

Hope ya like, leave comments!

Here is my uni entry. I elected not to conform to EA's teambuilder software, and did this thing by myself. OK, so i prolly coulda created this on there, but I just had to be different. Anywhoo, I went with basically our current helmet/pants, but added my own twist on what is a1959 era inspired jersey. I put socks on the template, but they would be optional. The alternate was an afterthought...not too serious about that one.
