One small step for jerseys, one giant leap for Ram Nation.
OK, this maybe isn’t that monumental, but Colorado State Athletics’ 5-year, $11 million deal with Under Armour is borderline epic for fanatics.
Under Armour will pay a lot more money (it was $100,000 per year) to Colorado State Athletics and they’ll also upgrade which jerseys the football team in particular will wear. The current jerseys CSU dons? They’re the base level models from Under Armour.
Now, Colorado State will be able to work with the company to custom design their jerseys, which include the pumpkin and alfalfa Ag Day jerseys, as well as three other alternates over the course of the deal.
So, we asked fans what they want to see. Here are the highlights:
@CSURamsNews @UnderArmour Matte green tops and bottoms with bright white bone shaped accents and yellow highlights and numbers

@CSURamsNews @UnderArmour I'd love to see some classic styling remain but give me a little more shine on that gold. And bone helmets

@CSURamsNews @RichKurtzman @UnderArmour lets get some straight up throw backs with yellow horns green jersey's with some color saturation.

@CSURamsNews @UnderArmour IMO the black is overdone plus #WeAreNotCU

Now this is a great idea. Another fan had it, too.
@RichKurtzman @UnderArmour @CSUAthletics give me a state flag themed uniform. Like Marylands but not as awful.

These? Groovy, maaan.
@CSURamsNews @UnderArmour White helmets w/ green horns. I'd also like to see the horns detailed a bit

Anything resembling what Oregon is doing is a step in the right direction. Still, stay away from black. Really dark green? Sure. No black, that’s a CU color.
@CSUtoBigTen @CSURamsNews @UnderArmour A deep green is where it's at. Much richer, not CU.
