Nike has revealed today the lineup of Nike Pro Combat uniforms, and they are already generating some talk on the Web, with many voices saying that they don’t like them! These new uniforms, which are supposed to be 37% lighter, have been made for Alabama, Boise State, Florida, Miami, Ohio State, Oregon state, Pitt, TCU, Virginia Tech and West Virginia.
Some changes have not received a warm welcome; take for example the Gators Nike Pro Combat uniform, which is heavy on alligator skin.  This is a detail that distances from a more traditional design for football teams.
Other uniforms that have received notable changes are the Buckeyes uniform which puts them a red helmet not used since the 60s, and the inclusion of black in the Hokies uniform, a color they have not used in a century
