Spatted Up: Nike Pro Combat uniforms

November 19th, 2009 | By boadurichard

Nike, Nike, Nike, you all have done it again. This is not a paid advertisment for Nike nor is it a shameless ploy to have Nike advertise or sponsor the site. This is truth from the bottom of my heart and the depths of my stomach. I love Nike. Reason number infinity is their alliance with several college team to develop the Nike Pro Combat uniforms. Oklahoma, Miami, Virginia Tech, Ohio State, Texas, Florida, Florida State, LSU, Missour, and TCU will all don the new uniforms in the up coming weeks.

Visit the Nike Pro Combat Uniform website. When I say these things are dope, I mean it in every sense of the word, and they come with their own slogans as well.

Two teams have already debuted their uniforms last weekend, TCU when they played Utah and Virginia Tech when they played Maryland.

TCU Horned Frogs- “Don’t Back Down”

Virginia Tech Hokies – “Good Guys Wear White (UT Prosim – Latin for That I may serve)”

Oklahoma, Ohio State, and Florida State will unveil their Nike Pro Combat uniforms this Saturday November 21.

Oklahoma Sooners – “Stake Our Claim”

Ohio State Buckeyes – “Earned”

Florida State Seminoles – “Fear the Spear”

Miami, Mizzouri, LSU, Texas, and Florida will all unveil their new uniforms during the last week of the regular season.

Miami Hurricanes – “The U Knows”

Missouri Tigers – “Beast Mode”

LSU Tigers – “Cochon De Lait” (insert quick history lesson – literally translates from French to English as “pig in milk”, or it is called a “suckling pig”. A Cochon de Lait is basically a cajun pig roast of a whole young pig.  The pig is slow roasted for 6 to 12 hours.  That is what makes a Cochon de Lait an event rather than just cooking a meal.  It’s an extended “male bonding”, “story telling”, “bull shooting”, “beverage of your choice drinking”, “fire tending” event.)

Texas Longhorns - “It Only Takes Eleven/Texas Fight”

(true story, the Texas video isn’t up on YouTube yet. No, I’m not just being a Sooner not posting their video. It’s really not up. When it is I”ll be sure to post it.)

Florida Gators – “Finish the Mission”

Here’s a cool video on the new Nike technology

I can’t wait for the uniforms to come out. We’ll update the article once all ten teams have rocked their new joints.

That’s all I got,
