They aren't as bad as the roller derby uniforms of the Peterman years, but still.
Not sure why they decided to not have the stripes go all the way down the pants, it looks incomplete. Not a fan of the gold around the numbers either, the plain white 2023 numbers popped more and looked clean AF. New striping on the jerseys seems too busy.
I could be wrong, but I think he's alluding to the changes in college football along with some of those horrible Gilby/Willingham years that soured so many of us (as opposed to the level of success certain teams had)
He obviously isn't the only one that doesn't like the highs of the current era as much as the highs from the previous era.
Being there for some of the biggest rivalry games in school history, 2 victories over a surging Texas including a Sugar Bowl that nobody from the West Coast ever gets an opportunity for, USC with one of their best QB's ever, etc. That 2 year stretch destroys the rose bowl year, for me. And now AOG is making me downplay our last rose bowl year which is the entire problem.
The 2000 team was really a team. Mostly it seemed like they were behind and could have gone 500 or even losing season. After that the Gilby Willingham slides, and continued commercialization of college football. All that kind of drove me off, just found other interests such as small college games.
It's like @RaceBannon's old theory about the iPhone. For years they made great improvements until it was awesome, but then they reached the tipping point and kept adding new features out of the compulsion to innovate and the product started to degrade.

@Doogles
That was the high water mark for Huskie football for me. It has been mostly downhill for me post 2000.
Except for that team that won more games, won the conference outright, won a harder bowl game, and got a national title invite, it's been downhill.

The Sugar Bowl win was like a fever dream for me.
