Louisville Getting Mocked for Uncaged Cardinal Helmet
- Thread starter Smashcat
- Start date
Is the new UL slogan now....."Poultry in Motion"
I asked some college aged kids and they thought the helmets and shoes were ridiculous.
Awesome, to be made the champion of a dying company is quite an honor
I'll bet the last big customer of wagon wheels felt very proud at all the special designs that were made featuring them
All of my UL friends absolutely hate it...like f'ing hate it with a passion. Which makes me smile on the inside.
There's a difference between trying to stand out and standing out because everyone is laughing at you. UK's uniform was the best in the country for SC game. I too think we can get more creative but no to anything like this.

Ca caaaaw. Ca cawww! Lookuphere! Lookuphere!
Those things suck. Shoes are even gayer

Not that there's anything wrong with it... For you.
That mad look bird on Louisville Helmet will match those U of L Fans face when Auburn destroy them.
It's just a mascot, but seriously how threatening can you make a cardinal look? They should treat the state bird with a little more respect.
Adidas must be desperate to make the ghetto commuter school their main focus. No wonder the prestige schools are leaving Adidas in droves.
I just figured it out. They used Howie for the model. That's why its jowls are so pronounced. He must be so proud.Count me as a UK fan that absolutely loves the new look of the UL uniforms. I totally get why some may not like it, because it is not "traditional." I remember a lot of UK fans bemoaning the silver helmets UK used last year. Of course I loved them too. Addidas is going all out for UL and the recruits love that stuff. Does everyone remember how excited our guys were when they unveiled the black uniforms. Traditionalists be damned (unless you are an Alabama or Ohio State or Michigan team).
I think it would be awesome if we could get a little more creative on our uniforms too. Rebranding Kentucky Football in a new, futuristic way could go a long way.
Here is the two helmets for UL that I could find:
And here is our awesome silver helmet:
If you don't like these uniforms and you are a Card fan Jurich will yank your tickets and give them to some younger fair weather fan.
If UofL is their main focus, with their 39M dollar deal then what is IU and their 53M Addidas deal?

This makes fans of about 35 schools I've heard say "we're gonna be the next Oregon" with regard to uniforms. No you aren't and no recruits don't sign in Feb because of black uniforms or fancy helmets. How did Oklahoma States recruiting go after they went to a million uni combos? No difference.
Usually other teams uniforms and helmets have no effect on me but I will say that helmet reminded me of an advertisement of a Disney movie about a mad chicken who hates life. Wouldn't be my pick but I am glad that it belongs to ul.
Louisville receives more per year if I am not mistaken and at worse still Top 5 Nationally...IU has a longer deal with their being a 8 year deal while Louisville is a 5 year deal...basically IU is replacing Michigan which switched back to Nike...per year the 5 Richest Apparal deals are Notre Dame, Louisville, UCLA and Michigan.
They are working on it...remember Stadium expansion and just a hunch that is part of it...remember huge infusion of cash going from the BIG EAST/AAC to the ACC...Maybe not as good as Alabama, Tennessee or Oregon but do you doubt Jurich ability to get something done on that front...less than 20 years ago Louisville was playing in a Triple A Falling apart Baseball Park.
On the unis....have no issue with the jerseys and pants...but the Cardinal is pretty bad on the helmet...but if players and recruits like them I don't care.
Adidas is more of a world brand, known more for soccer than anything. Some of the designs work and some don't. Personally, I liked the traditional look Strong went with.
Why would Louisville expand their stadium when they can't fill it now? Sounds like Jurich wants to waste more taxpayer money.
They expanded it from 42K when they were getting 38K in the John L. Smith, First Bob Petrino and Kragthorpe eras to 55K and Louisville has averaged over 50K since expansion...with Clemson, Florida State and Notre Dame coming in you do it...plus it is a facility upgrade and would make UofL Stadium Capacity in line with the rest of the ACC like UNC, UVa and NC State which currently is 61 to 63K...
Also, the Clemson game is already sold out...

IU's new deal should put them in the Top 5 nationally now.
BLOOMINGTON — Indiana has extended its apparel contract with Adidas in a deal that will nearly double the company's annual payment to the Hoosiers from $3.7 million to $6.7 million, Director of Athletics Fred Glass confirmed to The Star on Monday.
According to IU, the deal worth $53.6 million over eight years is one of the five richest publicly known apparel deals in college athletics.

For Louisville the beauty is it a shorter deal and the floor has been set for the University...when it is up 3 years it should still be very competitive with the upper echelon with Notre Dame and Michigan in regards to apparel deals.
