Boise State Nike Pro Combat uniforms unveiled, Broncos to wear them against Virginia Tech

Boise State's Nike Pro Combat uniforms were unveiled today much to the delight of the color gray. The Broncos' unis debuted alongside nine other college football teams, and Boise State announced that it will wear the fancy duds in the season opener on Monday against Virginia Tech.
More photos after the jump, and a full description and Flash site devoted to the unis over at Nike (HT: Intern). What are your thoughts on the uniforms?
Also thanks to the Intern for catching this item: Pro Combat jerseys are available to purchase at the Blue and Orange Store for $80.00. There's even a coupon code for you.
Nike released a pdf document detailing the reasons behind each of the designs. Here is a taste of Boise State's thought process:
The Boise State Nike Pro Combat System of Dress makes a statement in Silver Wing and vivid Game Royal, echoing the famed blue turf of Bronco Stadium. Nike designers also drew inspiration from the school's mascot, noting a link between Boise State's unpredictable style of play and the headstrong nature of an untamed horse.
Here is Nike's list of main features:
- A reflective, orange-eyed bronco-head logo is found on the right shoulder of the jersey.
- The same logo wraps around the side of the chrome Game Royal helmet, with the player's number at the back lower right corner.
- Boise State's incalculable style is referenced in the asymmetrical placement of motifs throughout the uniform.
- The cuff of the left sleeve is bound in orange.
- On the left knee rests a slanted block "B," while "Broncos" appears on the side of the right leg-both in reflective lettering that will shine under the lights of FedEx Field.
- Corresponding gloves capture Boise State's pride: The slogan "Bleed Blue" is used as a background pattern for a bronco head that forms on the gloves when the palms face outward. "Bleed Blue," a saying adopted by the players, can also be found inside the back collar of the jersey.
- Footwear in Game Royal and Silver Wing with orange-tipped studs completes the commanding ensemble.

OBNUG's Nick was present at the uniform unveiling in New York City, so feel free to be jealous of him as much as you want. He did provide these pics though.
Kyle Tucker's VT blog has details on the full lineup of uniforms:
- Miami: Tonal Fir palm-frond print emblematic of South Florida incorporated into the jersey numbers, pant and footwear.
- Alabama: Houndstooth check pattern incorporated into the uniform in tribute to legendary coach Paul "Bear" Bryant.
- Boise State: Reflective, Game Royal Bronco head on the uniform echoes the famed blue turf of Bronco stadium.
- Florida: Alligator-skin motif used in the jersey numbers, pant, gloves and footwear inspired by menacing Gator mascot.
- Ohio State: Stylized script numbers, a replica U.S. flag on the jersey sleeve and the camouflage-print base layer honor the WWII-bound Buckeyes, National Champions of 1942.
- Oregon State: Retro design revives a look worn by the victorious 1967 "Giant Killers."
- Pittsburgh: Notched Team Gold jersey numbers and stencil stripe on the helmet evoke steel I-beams in reference to Pittsburgh's steel industry.
- TCU: Icy lizard-skin pattern used throughout the uniform inspired by the scaly body armor of TCU's horned frog mascot and a memorable quote from celebrated coach Leo "Dutch" Meyer.
- Virginia Tech: All-black uniform references the cadet gray-and-black regalia worn by Virginia Tech's original football team and honors the school's current Corps of Cadets.
- West Virginia: A headlamp-like line running front-to-back on the helmet and smudged Black pattern on the uniform pay respect to the region's coal mining industry.

I like your originals
But these are good for the one game. Wear them once, and have them as a recruitting tool later on and for videogames.

W...T...F???
Since when has gray EVER been a part of BSU’s colors? Jesus Christ, a 5 year-old could do better than that uniform top.
As for the pants and the helmet…I love those, especially the helmet.
Overall, though, chalk another failure up for Nike’s football uniform department…
I hate everyone equally...especially Vandals!
About sums it up for me.
Like the pants.
Helmet’s ok.
Gloves are sweet.
Shirts…meh. (Seriously? 90% chimney sweep gray?)
Ok...
after looking at ‘Swyk all dressed up, it does look pretty good. I guess it was either just a knee-jerk reaction on my part or the fact that the shirt didn’t look all that hot by itself. Or it could be that I’m a bit of a traditionalist…why mess with a good thing, ya know? Could be that it’s a combo of all. Kinda wish the helmet had he Bronco head on both sides, though. Nitpicking, I know. LOL

Meh
Not a big fan of the gray jersey’s with the blue sleeve and orange sleeve. The helmets look good.

Wow-where do I begin.
Nike continues the national perception of the Broncos as “upstarts” with this design." Asymmetrical warfare", such as we are encountering in Afghanistan (tactical), and the related concept of “asymmetrical buildup”, such as we are encountering with the Chinese(strategic), both posit a materailly disadvantaged adversary employing indirect (what used to be described, in the tactical context, as “guerilla”) methods to counter balance a more materially endowed force. The asymmetrcial presentation of the Bronco symbols is a candid reflection fo Nike’s, and the nation’s perception of us, a perception distinctly at at odds with the actual “real” world situtaion, both strategically and tactically, although perhaps more condign with respect to the former. Tactically the Broncos employ “smash mouth” football (“frontal assault”), run as much as pass, and play with equal or surpassing strength. Strategically, our recent recruits show that we are able to exploit the “mineral rich” (with ’ballers) areas such as Texas to deeply develop and cultivate “response capabilities” well beyond what could be described as “asymmetrical”. Nike thus fails to address the new paradigm vis-a-vis the Broncos, inadvertently giving us yet another advantage-what Sung-Li described as the “flower of understimation”.

I pretty much have no idea what the hell you are talking about.
My opinion – the Broncos’ uniforms are way more interesting than any of the others. It didn’t appear that anyone else had their mascot on the unis, unless I missed something, which I probably did because I’m extremely biased. I also like the colors. Sometimes an understated accessory is the best one, like the orange eyes. I love it.

Saw the word "accessory", then read name and said hmmm-maybe a girl? I am so quick I scare myself (no cheap jokes).
As one of the few who saw the first Bronco collegiate uniforms, and all subsequent iterations, and who has been been know to wax (eloquently?) on the subject from time to time (3 lenghty GAZETTAs on helmet logos alone) may I offer the following:
HELMET: not sure yet.
UNIFORM: Certainly departs from the “theme” of the uniform over 42 years. The original ‘look" was white pants, blue jersey, splash of orange. There was the unfortunate Denver-orange period mid-90s. We identify as “blue”; what’s with the grey? Not bad looking, but is less of a progression of a theme as a significant departure from it. Less riff, more new composition.
tvmunson
This is a fashion show, right?
Or is it football, I forget.
I like new things, which is why I had to buy a new outfit for each day I’m in DC, and of course a new bronco shirt to wear to the game. I’m glad the team gets to wear a new outfit too. I can’t wait to see them on the field!

You are female, one for whom the universe exists as an excuse to shop.
Basic difference: men see clothes like a good team; you don’t replace veterans with rookies w/o a reason. Stick with experience;“liking new things” is as foreign a concept to us as “going shopping” i e random walking through stores,examining or (God forbid) trying them on for no discernible purpose than the (ostensible) “pleasure” of doing it (UGH!). In fact, sports is what we do instead of shopping;and for you, fashion is sports, your distraction. Men, and this gets worse as we get older, HATE change-in our selves, our clothes, our wives (hence cosmetic surgery), our team’s uniforms. I cannot explain this any further; one of us would have to replace, entirely, his or her hormones.

Best Reason: Employment
Basic difference: men see clothes like a good team; you don’t replace veterans with rookies w/o a reason.
It was great when I graduated from law school, got a good paying job and finally had some money for clothes. Too large t-shirts that I got for free at a college event were finally relegated to sleepwear. W00t for not looking like I’m wearing a tent anymore! French cuffs? Sweet! New colors to wear because I could finally afford a pair of nice brown shoes in addition to black shoes – yay!

Nice!
I agree with more orange, but overall they look fresh and sleek!
I don't mind the grey
Using grey as an away color, sure, cool. Love the helmets. Where’s the Orange, need more orange. Reading Hokie boards, me thinks they don’t like their black (and almost no maroon).
Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, uh, your opinion, man
Hokies?
They don’t like theirs? I love their unis! I thought they gots some sweet ones! Better then Miami’s or Ohio’s.

Good thing Miami doesn’t play Florida A & M, and I don’t like the Ohio 49ers unis either (its going to take them hours to transfer over all the buckeye stickers to their new helmets).

We haven't had black as a main color for years
and that is what the “traditionalists” were upset by. But, reading the information provided by Kyle Tucker and that the black is homage to the black and grey of our Corps of Cadets, is very enlightening. I think if that information were more wide spread amongst the Hokie faithful, they would probably get behind the idea. A very patriotic bunch we are, to say the least.
PS – I think it is rather cool that you guys are quoting from the Hokie blogger from The Virginian Pilot as opposed to a blogger from somewhere closer to home for you!

Boise / VT new uniforms
I’m okay with the new Tech uniforms… but I wish that they would have used maroon in place of the bright orange.
I liked the Boise State ones. I like the helmet a lot. I could definitely see a BSU fan not being happy with the lack of orange.
After reading the reason why
It makes sense. They wanted to pay homage to the field (see what I did there Mikrino) that we are so famous for. Orange piping on the numbers maybe but over all I think we like them. I really liked your’s though. I thought us and you guys got some of the better ones. Miami’s and Ohio States were just to much I though.
"I think I know what you guys are trying to say.....We need to build a space helicopter." Nathan Explosion
Orange Piping on the Numbers
Yes, this is what I was thinking too. Orange piping on the numbers and on both sleeves (not just one) would have made me perfectly happy. I think the gray looks good though. Maybe wouldn’t have minded something on the blank side of the helmet. Wouldn’t have to be another horses head. Maybe a small B logo with some thin orange piping (OK, I like orange accents, sue me).
Am I the only one that thinks these unis would look great on The Blue as our home gear? I think just a little contrast with the blue field would look hot. OK, maybe we wouldn’t blend in so much but then teams could no longer use that excuse when we stomp them.
i hope
That we are really wearing the all blue shoes and socks…..that is awesome!

The underlayer of the BSU uni is A-may-zing!! So is the Bring the Hammer shirt you can buy for $25. After I saw the underlayer shirt I felt like Ricky Bobby the first time he drove a race car
Inversion Stealth Suits...
I think the helmet and pants are DOPE, only wish the jersey was white, would be epic! BUT, I will say that the gray would be perfect during a Boise inversion. Our defense would be stealthed out vessels of death! Too bad they are the “away” color…
good and bad
helmet—I called the logo with no ‘Boise State’ few weeks ago. I like the design.
the gloves and shoes are nice.
Agree with most of the group that Gray is the wrong color. The current home uniforms have grey numbers—they are too hard to read.
Don’t these end up being home uniforms? I see lots of people talking about wearing these in DC, but I thought ‘away’ uniforms had to be white? Will we wear them for the first home game? Won’t that take away from the blue shirt on blue turf advantage that the national media loves to cry about?

As of this year.
Away uniforms don’t have to be anything. Well, you could wear any colors on away games, but you’d be penalized a time out because of it. But starting this year, any team can wear any color anywhere.

Helmet?
Are you serious about the helmets? I think everything else is sweet, could have been more orange as everyone has already stated. However I think the bronco only on one side looks dumb.
Oregon State's are cool...I like the throwback look.
WVU’s are also pretty nice.
Boise State’s are cool, but not my favorite of the bunch by a wide margin.
My old friends, these are suppossed to be..
the new FUTURISTIC Uniforms! Out with the old, in with the new! Throwbacks are nice, but these are soo much in the future most of you o.g’s have to get acustomed to them.
These are legit and I bet 80% of recruits will think these are ridiculous!
Shake It Kid
Why do the helmets look so big?
I need to get past the fact that it looks like they used a bunch of 6th graders from an optomist team to model the new uniforms. I can’t tell if they are promoting a new uniform or thes are new Bobbleheads in the Jackson Gas Station collection.
Ah, Perry the platypus, as usual your timing is uncanny. And by uncanny, of course I mean... completely canny!

WOW! Well Done! Rec'd!
I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany
Go hammer! Go hammer!

best of all?
No butt logos!
Heeeyyyy-oooo!
Little love for our Vandal buddies!
Don't speak too soon.
Looking at the back side, it looks like they’re outlining the marks from sitting on a bowl for 10 hours…

Anyone else getting Seahawks vibe from these unis?:S

Looking at the hemet logo on one side reminds me of the Aussie bush hat, with one side up.
I always associated it with a certain jauntiness, pluckish “devil may care” attitude. Wore one in the early ’70s; the old guys at the original Bouqet (where US Bank is now) many of whom fought in the Pacific would buy me drinks and regale me with tales of fighting with the ’Aussies-“best damn figthing men in the world”. Guys from New South Wales had many fans as I recall>

Now I've been able to digest for awhile
I’m really starting to like the unis – the gray appears much darker in the stylized photos than they might appear in game/on tv. Even the lack of orange isn’t bothering me – its there… the eye,cleats, armband.
The ultimate test is how they look on the players, I would like to see that uni on one Michael Atkinson or Nate Potter before I provide my official ‘kickbutt’ seal. (Our unis are often unflattering to the big boys).
Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, uh, your opinion, man
The small amount of orange
may even be better….One arm band with the orange stripe and the orange lettering on the undershirt is pretty slick looking. Though I can’t stop thinking about the MC Hammer version now!?!

Orange you glad you're a Bronco? ha haha ha hah hahahaha
But seriously. As for orange, and “from the day”. The accent orange was not a big deal oraginely (pun-I’m so funny!) The helmet logo, the city seal, was a garely discernible orange circle. Some orange “armbands”, that’s it. If you only saw our Fiesta games you’d be forgiven for thinking orange was a big Boise State color-end zone orange, orange pants dominant. but in the 70s the orange was limited to the inside of the “BSU” swatch on the helmet, some piping. the 2000s saw the armpit orange which obscured the origianl idea. But if you stick with blue and orange, this is very much a departure. You may like it, or not, but it ain’t what we’ve been wearing for the 42 years I’ve been watching. I ain’t sayin’, jus’ sayin’.

Yesterday..
I didn’t like them, but I’ve (mostly) come around. Helmet-sick. Shoes-sick. Gloves-gloves. Pants-meh. And the jersey? Not huge on the gray, but the undershirt is perhaps the coolest thing I’ve seen. VT has the best jerseys, we’re in the top four. I hate Ohio State’s and TCU’s, and Miami’s is gross too. Just glad we’re not handcuffed to Nike the same way Oregon is, though I’d take their money.
