Throwback uniforms are something I just go crazy for, heck I support it almost anytime there's an innovative idea with a uniform.
In this case, Texas A&M has rolled out the coolest uniform I remember seeing in a long time.
The Aggies will wear throwbacks honoring the 1939 team.
According to Adidas.com:
The vintage-style uniform, helmet and cleats pay homage to the Aggies' look during the 1939 National Championship season. Texas A&M's helmet, produced in concert with Hydro Graphics Inc. and Riddell, is dark maroon with a hydro film leather-like texture featuring wing and cross graphics created using high-resolution photographs of an actual helmet worn by the 1939 team. The helmet also features simulated stitching, wear-and-tear and raised ear protection painted by hand via HGI artists on each shell to further enhance the appearance of a vintage helmet.
This is one of the most original ideas I have seen for uniforms. I think it shows Aggies and Adidas really know what they are doing.
