Anyone else miss shiny pants (and 90's uniforms in general)?

Random thread but I'm curious if anyone else misses the dome-shaped helmets, big shoulder pads, and shiny pants from the 1990s? The style of those uniforms was honestly a big reason I was drawn to the sport as a kid. I thought they looked like gladiators. I'm still not used to the revo helmets and think they look like ass quite frankly. Also, I don't like how every team's pants look so dull. Am I alone on this?

I know the Steven Jackson pic was early-00's but it still featured those elements I talked about.

Heck yes I miss them... shoot the flat material pants were considered practice pants when I was in HS.

Then again it was also cool to only carry your back pack with 1 strap.

On topic, I definitely miss the simplicity of the uniforms, pre-Oregon-ization. Though I do think there's some cool looks now including, ironically perhaps, Oregon's wing helmets.

Yup. Best jerseys in Ohio State history. Grey stripes on the arms, oversized numbers on the shoulders, and shiny silver pants. Simple and beautiful

Bring that one back, Nike... and quit playing with our hearts

Our colors are not scarlet and silver.

I miss the natural grass look at Ohio Stadium more than I miss the older unis....

I think the uniform style from the 2002 team are my favorites.

True, but I think out helmets would look worse if they were matte gray too instead of silver.

In High School maybe. When you're carrying 40 pounds of books in college while walking half a goddamn mile to certain classes? Nah.

I learned REAL quick to use both straps while trekking the OSU campus.

You actually went to class? Rookie move.
