Here is a first look a t one of the alternate unis from Adidas...
I am not sure I like an all-red/crimson uniform and I would prefer a crimson and blue combination with no so many Jayhawks. The helmet is cool looking with a big Jayhawk and the chrome grill. The should use a meaner looking Jayhawk though, such as the one in my avatar.

Spot on JHF. You need a mean look on a football uni. I remember the silly wiley wildcat (sp) at KSU when they were terrible. The logo change at KSU looked much better. Maybe someone thinks we need to sell our brand on the gridiron? Until we get respectable football seasons nobody will pay attention.
@JayhawkRock78 I'm 100% convinced the the " Powercat " logo is the reason for K-States success the past 15 or so years. (Surely it had nothing to do with Snyder)
I've often said if they had gotten rid of the stupid purple/gray uniforms and switched to black that they would have won a National Championship or two.
@JayHawkFanToo My tendency is to hate all things new or different until I get used to them, but I actually kinda like the whole "crimson" thing (not RED!). As long as they're not the pu- whoops - powderpuff blue ones that I've seen a couple of times. Those would only be acceptable if they have high-heeled cleats and tutus.
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST KU FOOTBALL UNIFORM EVER.
HELL, I WANT A MOTORCYCLE HELMET WITH THAT LOGO.
ADIDAS MUST HAVE HEARD THE RIDICULE OF MOST OF THEIR UNIFORMS AND WENT OUT AND SPENT SOME REAL MONEY ON A SERIOUSLY TALENTED DESIGNER!!!!!!
THIS UNIFORM IS THE ESSENSE OF WHAT KU FOOTBALL SHOULD BECOME.
Well...Bill Snyder owns the rights to the "power cat" so he had a vested interest in the team getting better and increasing royalties. :)
I don't care for the powder blue unis either.
One big Jayhawk logo on the left side of the helmet, 2 fair sized logos on the shoulders, one on the left hip (Adidas logo on the right, BTW), all together 4 logos or 3 too many in my opinion.
I was reading some of the critique of our new uni's on www.sportsgrid.com - the world outside of Lawrence, Ks is having some fun with this.
"This is what happens when your football program has been irrelevant for years and has no tradition."
"Instead of having the traditional “KU” monogram on the helmet, the school opted to stamp a big-ass JayHawk on one side of their new lids and the player’s number on the other. It’s the uniform equivalent of a mullet."
"That is hilarious! Looks like we should expect to see the Jayhawk's games played on the Cartoon Network, rather than the Big 12"
I'm glad we can provide the world a laugh! I just hope we don't do it on the field.
@jaybate-1.0 I'm with you. These are badass.
The helmet is ok, but I've never been a fan of single color uni's. Hate 'em. Especially teams that wear all black. And while I'm griping, who in the hell came up with the no sleeve jerseys? FUGGGGGLY. But then I hate players wearing their pant legs above the knee. I'm done.
